My practice narration is weird.

Chapter 360 Yangguan Tune

The northernmost border of Da Yan.

The towering city walls stretch endlessly, like a giant beast sleeping on the ground, overlooking the world.

This is Yangguan, and it is also the most important fortress on the border of Dayan today.

Starting from the sun and going northward, it is a place where there are few people.

As the old saying goes.

The sword points to Tianshan Mountain and the west exit of Yangguan is deserted.

If we count the time now, it is not midnight.

But Yangguan City was pitch black.

There is not a ray of sunlight at this moment.

The air seemed to be covered with a layer of black gauze.

At this moment, torches were lit on the city walls of Yangguan every ten meters or so, with sparks and flags all over the city.

It revealed a human figure in the darkness, and also reflected the tragic scene.

There was a thousand miles of black scorched earth and black smoke. Above the thick city walls and huge rocks, there was a pitch-black darkness mixed with bright red blood.

This majestic frontier military town is now in a state of desolation.

On the city wall and inside the Yangguan Pass, there were initially a lot of whispers among the crowd, but now, everyone was silent.

A faint light flickered on the city wall, which was the formation surrounding the entire Yangguan.

It is precisely because of the unique formations set up by the Taoist sect and the extraordinary combat power of the Sword Sect's leader that the demon clan was kept from crossing the border and that the sect was able to hold its ground.

But right now, a corner of the formation is missing.

This is the effect caused by the earth dragon turning over. Even though the formation master has hurriedly repaired the eye of the formation, the protective power is ultimately not as good as before.

An old man walked across the city wall with his hands behind his back. His steps were steady and his breathing was not disordered, but the firelight in the darkness revealed his slightly pale face.

The formation keeps flickering...

This means that something is eroding the formation.

His eyes swept across the dark sky, and he could even see the figure faintly emerging in the darkness.

It's not that it's too dark tonight, the Sword Sect's leader knows that kind of aura...

Is there some strange thing wrapping up Yangguan?

It is equivalent to adding another layer of formation outside the Yangguan formation.

The outer layer of formation is constantly eroding Yangguan's formation.

The abnormality of this formation made countless soldiers feel a little panicked, but the old man just walked forward step by step.

Whenever he walked past the city wall, countless soldiers' hearts became inexplicably calm.

After the old man took a round inspection, he stepped into the enemy tower of the city gate, followed by Zhou Xuanyuan who looked silent.

Zhou Xuanyuan came back a few days earlier than Ye Wuyou, and went to the border as soon as he came back.

The old man in front of him was naturally the leader of the Sword Sect, a sword cultivator who stood at the pinnacle of the Sixth Realm of Heavenly Power, on the unreachable mountain of Dayan.

As soon as I stepped into the building, the door was closed.

A woman came over with a plate in her hand.

There was a bowl of medicine and a small white jade bottle on the plate.

The medicinal aroma is strong, and it is obviously made with fine natural materials and treasures.

The Sword Sect leader took a look and was speechless at first. Finally, he sat down, sighed softly, and said to the female doctor.

"I vaguely remember that you used to be with Lu Qingshan?"

Chuntao nodded slightly and didn't say much.

The woman was Chuntao, a doctor.

But now, the aura on his body has reached the fourth realm.

The Sword Sect leader said again.

"The Fourth Realm Kaiyang... There are quite a few practitioners in the Fourth Realm, and among them, there are countless crude warriors like me. However, there are very few doctors like you. It is really not easy to achieve the Dharma and understand yourself."

The great supernatural powers of the middle third realm who major in medicine are rare at all times.

After all, in this world, killing people is easier than saving them.

Chuntao's eyes were filled with confusion, and she didn't understand why the other party said that.

The Sword Sect leader shook his head and then spoke directly.

"Since you are a doctor of the fourth realm, I think you also understand one fact. With my current realm, how many medicines do you think can still be effective in this world?"

The world is truly strange. The higher the realm, the fewer medicinal herbs available for practitioners to choose from.

There may have been many records of panaceas in the early years, but just like Xia Anmeng, it was not easy to obtain panaceas a thousand years ago, but it was not too difficult either.

What about now?
As time went by, there were more and more people, more and more practitioners, and the medicinal herbs became extinct.

Facing the old man's questioning, Chuntao simply responded in a calm voice.

"This is the elixir provided by the Taoist sect, as well as the thousand-year-old precious medicine that was sent to us from the Great Xuan Wanbao Pavilion the other day. Time is tight, so we can't condense it into an elixir. We can only turn it into a decoction. According to pharmacology, it should be effective for you."

These words made the Sword Sect's leader look slightly stunned. He frowned, stared at the medicinal soup, and nodded slightly.

This is indeed the scent of a thousand-year-old medicinal herb...

"Why did they send the precious medicine?" But the old sect leader was still puzzled.

He knew that Daxuan and Dayan had already reached some cooperation, but it was not long and the first batch of supplies had not yet been delivered. Moreover, how much of the other supplies would be equivalent to the preciousness of this thousand-year-old elixir?
Daxuan's thousand-year-old precious medicine is still in short supply. In Dayan, it doesn't even have a price. This question made the female doctor look strange, with thoughts and doubts in her eyes, but she finally answered truthfully.

"A senior from Wanbao Pavilion said that this is the dowry for his son-in-law, who is from Dayan..."

Well, after this was said, all three of them were confused.

But in the end, the Sword Sect's leader simply took the small white jade bottle and put it in his pocket.

"I have accepted the Taoist's things. The medicinal effect of this soup is still there. Don't waste it on me. Share it with others."

Many soldiers were injured in today's battle, so they should be in greater need.

After saying this, the Sword Sect leader perhaps felt that the atmosphere was a bit solemn. At this moment, he glanced at Zhou Xuanyuan behind him and teased.

"A thousand-year-old precious medicine as a dowry. I don't know who is so lucky. Zhou Xuanyuan, you should also learn from it. When can you bring back such a generous dowry for your master?"

Zhou Xuanyuan's expression remained unchanged and he did not respond, but there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

The old leader of the Sword Sect just noticed this scene and smiled faintly.

"That's right, my disciple. One thousand-year-old precious medicine is not enough. We need at least... four or five."

That being said, if a woman really offered four or five thousand-year-old medicinal herbs to exchange for Zhou Xuanyuan, the old sect leader would be willing to break his own legs to give it to his disciple.

After all, Zhou Xuanyuan is a man, so he doesn't feel sorry for him.

Chuntao in front of him hesitated for a moment, and finally added in a low voice.

"The senior from Wanbao Pavilion gave me not just one herb...but more than twenty thousand-year-old precious herbs, and even several hundred-year-old herbs..."

These words directly defeated the arrogance in Zhou Xuanyuan's eyes, and also made the old sect leader look dazed, which was rare.

Zhou Xuanyuan didn't say anything, but the old sect leader really wanted to ask a question in his heart.

Does that family still need a son-in-law?

After seeing Chuntao off, the Sword Sect leader let out a long sigh and finally pulled his thoughts back to reality.

The atmosphere changed slightly, and the Sword Sect's leader asked calmly without turning around.

"How many beasts have crossed the Yangguan Pass now?"

A hoarse voice came from behind.

"There are two demon kings of the sixth realm. One of them has been injured by you, Master. I think... maybe it won't cause too many problems."

"Stop talking nonsense." The Sword Sect leader waved his hand impatiently.

"The other one is a blue rain heron. It crossed the Yangguan Pass regardless of everything. Just like the other purple rain heron earlier, it flew high in the sky. It was too high for us to stop it."

"Oh, then they are a pair." The old sect leader's eyes shone with a gleam of brilliance, but the brilliance soon turned into gloom.

There are two Demon Kings of the Sixth Realm in total, plus the Purple Jade Heron from a few days ago, which makes a total of three Demon Kings of the Sixth Realm.

The three demon kings of the sixth realm have now crossed the Yangguan Pass and gone to the rear.

But I am unable to do everything.

"How many sixth-level demons are there in the demon race? Half a year ago, there were only six sixth-level demon kings, but now there are several more. And at this moment, I can't contact that old Taoist."

The words were extremely heavy.

This is a dead end.

Although the military towns in the rear are protected by formations, a single Sixth Realm Demon King may not be able to capture them in a short time, but what if they pick on the weak?

Village, township, town...

These places are not guarded by any formations.

In addition, why did these beasts of the demon clan suddenly go crazy this month and insist on breaking through Yangguan?

What are they for?
But the Sword Sect leader was no longer able to stop all this, nor could he figure out the outcome.

The fact before him was an extremely embarrassing situation.

There are more than six demons in six realms.

In addition, the leaders of the six realms of that sect also lost contact half a month ago.

This means that Da Yan now only has the Sword Sect's leader who is a sixth-level cultivator.

Although he was at the peak of the sixth realm, and had previously been able to fight one against three, and even fight against thirty-sixth realms alone, he could not withstand the large number of people of the demon clan.

If you can’t win, why not just run away?
It is not easy to determine life or death in the six realms in a short period of time. Moreover, he has to guard this line of defense and cannot exert his full strength.

The old sect leader felt very aggrieved, really aggrieved.

He clearly believed that he was not inferior to any Demon King, but the opponent was unable to defeat him and simply ran towards Beiyuan. If he chased after them, he could definitely kill a few Demon Kings if he was ruthless.

But as soon as he left, other demon kings came to invade the border defense line.

He can only defend.

Today, that's the case.

Several new demon kings appeared.

It happened that the earth dragon turned over, and the formation above Yangguan was damaged. While he was distracted, he was ambushed by a beast that was originally inferior to him.

Only then did he let the two monsters go.

If this continues, the momentum will plummet.

A hint of determination appeared in the old sect leader's eyes. He then took out the small white jade bottle, poured out a pill from it, and swallowed it.

His pale face now looked slightly rosy. He let out a long breath, but he had already made up his mind.

No matter what, we have to kill the two demon kings first to dampen the arrogance of those beasts.
