The Counterattack of the Villains

In the early morning, when the sky was bright, the team broke camp and set off.

After meditating all night, Jiang Ni not only did not feel tired at all, but was in high spirits. Xu Fengnian was also similar.

After it finally dawned, everyone found that the sky was full of dark clouds today, and it looked like a heavy rain was coming.

Xu Fengnian did not ride on the horse again, but sat in the carriage. Seeing that Jiang Ni was always practicing diligently, he did not want to waste time and meditated with her.

With Luo Li and Li Chungang as guardians, they felt at ease.

Sure enough, just after noon, heavy raindrops began to fall. By this time, they had left Beiliang and entered the boundary of Yongzhou.

Everyone outside the car put on raincoats and bamboo hats. They didn't stop on the road, but just ate some dry food at will.

They planned to rush to Yingrong County, a border city in Yongzhou, and rest after arriving there.

Therefore, they did not follow the official road, but took a shortcut through a forest path.

Although this short road is not as wide and smooth as the official road, it is still enough for carriages to pass.

There was heavy rain in Yongzhou, but it was cloudy in Lingzhou. Flags were fluttering outside the gate of Beiliang Prince's Mansion, and the soldiers of Beiliang were in full force.

Chu Lushan, who was wearing a helmet and armor, accompanied Xu Xiao out of the palace, and seemed to be in high spirits.

Xu Xiao asked casually: "Feng Nian and the others should have arrived in Yongzhou, right?"

Chu Lushan replied: "Based on the distance traveled, this should be the case."

Xu Xiao said: "After Yongzhou, we will arrive at Qingzhou."

Chu Lushan said worriedly: "King Jing'an of Qingzhou has been in tit-for-tat with us in Beiliang. I'm afraid there will be some twists and turns when the prince is in Qingzhou."

Xu Xiao paused, pondered for a moment, and called out: "Chu Lushan."

"exist."

Xu Xiao said: "Don't follow me to the capital."

Chu Lushan was stunned, and the excitement disappeared instantly. He opened his eyes wide and said with a troubled face: "I promised the prince to protect my adoptive father."

Xu Xiao ignored his words and asked, "How many days will it take to reach Qingzhou if you travel lightly?"

Chu Lushan thought for a while and said firmly: "It will take two days."

The three thousand crossbowmen under his command were originally light cavalry. If they were to travel lightly, the original journey of three to four days could be shortened by half.

"Okay." Xu Xiao nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "You, stay at the gate of the palace. Once you receive the sword spike from the eagle, you will immediately lead the cavalry to Qingzhou."

Chu Lushan, who originally looked downcast, became excited again after hearing this. He grinned and said, "My foster father wants me to... ride on horseback in Qingzhou?"

Xu Xiao's face darkened, he glared at Chu Lushan and said, "Wouldn't that be a rebellion?"

"Uh..." Chu Lushan's smile froze and he said: "Then what should I do when I rush to Qingzhou?"

Xu Xiao said: "Fengnian will explain it to you when the time comes."

Chu Lushan said a little worriedly: "Then what should you do?"

Xu Xiao looked up at the sky and sneered: "There are indeed many people in the capital who want me to die, but once I go to that place, not only will no one dare to touch me, but they will try their best to protect me. Do you know why?"

Chu Lushan said proudly: "With my army from Beiliang here, my adoptive father will be able to sit back and relax."

"Hehehe..." Xu Xiaolang smiled and patted Chu Lushan's fat face, then turned around and said, "Let's go."

Xu Xiao got on his horse, and Chu Lushan thought of something again, so he raised his head and asked: "Father, to whom will the military power of Beiliang be entrusted?"

Xu Xiao said without hesitation: "To guard Beiliang, it must be Chen Zhibao."

After saying that, he immediately urged his horse to set off, and the guard battalion followed immediately.

Chu Lushan looked up at the sky filled with white clouds and murmured to himself: "Harrier eagle, sword spike..."

Then he turned around thoughtfully and walked towards the gate, shouting loudly: "Bring me the bed, I'll be waiting for Jian Sui here."

…

Yongzhou, forest path.

Zheng Zha, who was walking in front, suddenly reined in his horse without any warning. Behind him, Shuxian Wei Shuyang, and Qingniao Lu Qiantang, who was driving, also reined in their horses at the same time.

The stop was sudden and abrupt, just like slamming on the brakes while driving, and naturally it alarmed the people in the car.

Xu Fengnian and Jiang Ni finished their work one after another, while Li Chungang and Luo Li opened the curtains and looked forward.

Wei Shuyang, who was behind Zheng Zha, exclaimed: "Fu Jiang's red armor!"

I saw a tall figure wearing a bright red armor standing upright in the middle of the road at the intersection about ten feet away, blocking the way.

This is a full-body armor, with even the head completely covered in a helmet. The thick visor covers the face, leaving only two holes for the eyes.

Xu Fengnian, who saw the scene ahead from the side window of the carriage, heard Wei Shuyang's words and asked curiously: "Grandpa Wei knows the origin of this thing?"

With a look of surprise on Wei Shuyang's face, he explained: "When the prince and I were young, there were four great masters in the world, and one of them was the southern talisman general Hong Jia."

Xu Fengnian opened an umbrella, got out of the carriage, sat side by side with Qingniao on the driver's seat, looked at the man in red armor in front of him and said, "Is that the one blocking you in front?"

Wei Shuyang said hesitantly: "But this talisman general with red armor was stripped of his armor by Han Diao Temple himself for assassinating the late emperor."

"The corpse and the red armor are hung on the flag for public display. The bright red armor is unique in the world, and it has been confirmed by Cao Guanzi and cannot be faked."

"It's strange, where did the red armor in front of me come from?"

Xu Fengnian said: "Could they be the children of Fu Jiang Hongjia?"

Wei Shuyang said flatly: "It's absolutely impossible. There is only one pair of red armor in the world. Now it should be hidden in the imperial city. How about I go and try it?"

Before Xu Fengnian could speak, Zheng Zha, who was in front of Wei Shuyang, suddenly turned around and said to Luo Li: "Ali, go and have a look at Fengzi Camp behind."

"Okay." Luo Li heard this and without saying a word, she got out of the car, jumped into the air, and rushed to the rear.

Everyone noticed that when Loli came out, as soon as the heavy rain fell three feet above her head, it slid away on its own, and not a single drop could fall on her head.

Everyone couldn't help but marvel at her astonishing skills.

After Luo Li left, Zheng Zha continued: "There is no need to test it. This is Fu Jiang Red Armor, but it is not the complete Fu Jiang Red Armor. But even so, it is not something you can deal with."

Xu Fengnian looked at Fu Jiang's red armor and said puzzledly: "I see it's quite complete. It's covered tightly from head to toe, with no flaws exposed."

Li Chungang in the carriage said: "What Xiao Zheng said is incomplete, that's not what he meant. Fu Jiang's red armor comes from dragon and tiger, and is an ancient battle armor."

"But few people know that this red armor can be divided into five parts, corresponding to the five elements. This one is the water armor. It is the most powerful when it rains heavily."

"Among all the people present, except for Xiao Zheng and Ali, no one else is his opponent."

Jiang Ni blinked his big eyes, looked at Li Chungang and asked, "What about you?"

Facing Jiang Ni, the solemn look on Li Chungang's face immediately melted away, and he said with a smile: "Of course I have no problem, but I only promised Xu Xiao to protect Xu Xiaozi's life. When his life is not in danger, even if his subordinates die, I will still fight with him if his life is not in danger."

I have nothing to do with it.”

If in the original plot, he just said something arrogant, in fact, when it was time to take action, he was not ambiguous at all.

But after Zheng Zha communicated with him about "that place", he would strictly abide by this principle.

For the sake of Lupao'er, he would try his best not to do anything to others in the past seventeen years.

Even if he has to take action, his bottom line is not to damage his vitality or his foundation.

Like in the original plot, he challenged Wang Xianzhi with a thousand swords and broke through two thousand six armors with one sword. He would never do it again now.

Firstly, he wants to live peacefully until seventeen years later, and secondly, now that there are Zheng Zha and his wife in the team, it is not his turn to risk his life.

Xu Fengnian, who was on the throne, did not pay attention to Li Chungang's words.

After all, Lao Li Tou can be regarded as the last line of defense around him. As long as his life is not worried, he can do whatever he wants.

His biggest supporter is Zheng Zha and his wife.

Jiang Ni gave Li Chungang a hard look and snorted, "I didn't count on you at all."

While Jiang Ni and Li Chungang were talking, Zheng Zha had already made some moves.

He pulled out the Beiliang Dao from his waist, held it in front of him, pointed the tip of the knife forward and pointed toward the sky.

At this moment, everyone was shocked to find that the speed of the raindrops falling from the sky was rapidly slowing down, and finally stopped completely.

Countless dense raindrops floated in the air, covering all space.

The next moment, the countless raindrops actually gathered towards the long knife in Zheng Zha's hand, first attached to the blade, and then spread forward.

A giant knife about three feet long and one foot wide, made of rainwater, quickly appeared in front of everyone.

I saw Zheng Zha's waist and arms moving, and the long knife in his hand, with the giant rain knife attached to it, crossed to his left side.

The next moment, he swung the sword with his backhand horizontally at the water armor, and the giant rainwater sword immediately broke away from the blade, spinning and flying forward.

This giant rain knife seems to be composed of raindrops, but what absorbs and collects the raindrops is the majestic true energy belonging to Zheng Zha, which is condensed into the sword's aura.

The rotation of Dao Gang drove the airflow and more raindrops, causing it to form a waterspout during the flight, sweeping towards the water armor man with great momentum.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Fengnian slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly: "It's a good job, you should be rewarded."

Jiang Ni, Wei Shuyang, Shu Sha, Qingniao, Lu Qiantang and others all held their breaths involuntarily and stared at the waterspout, waiting for the result to appear.

Li Chungang gently stroked his beard under his chin, nodding with admiration. The power of this sword was unparalleled, and it was not inferior to the "One Sword Immortal Kneeling" with his six-level power.

It can be seen that Zheng Zha did not use all his strength with this sword, but I don't know how much power he used. Given his level, I am afraid it will not be higher than 50%.

What he didn't know was that this sword was only less than half of the power of Zheng Zha's Storm Style among the Seven Limits of Devouring Heaven and Destroying Earth.

The storm style with 100% power is no longer a sword that drives the airflow to form a tornado.

Instead, it directly uses countless extremely fast swords to form a tornado. Every wisp of wind in the tornado is a sword.

If this move is used with all its strength, even a powerful person like Zheng Zha, who is at the peak of divine transformation, will be delivered to pieces in front of his eyes.

A strong person in the early stage of transcending the tribulation will be shattered into thousands of pieces if he is not careful.

The Samsaras have been in this world for more than two years, and naturally they have a clear understanding of the comparison between this world's combat power and theirs.

The combat power of the terrestrial gods in this world is almost equivalent to that of the Nascent Soul stage, and that of gods and humans in the Transformation God stage.

Therefore, the ceiling of force in this world is equivalent to the level of the second-level members of the two reincarnation teams.

Not to mention land gods, they are ranked third, while celestial phenomena are at the bottom, only equivalent to the golden elixir stage.

The weakest members of the Zhongzhou team, Luo Li and Lan Xinrui, as well as newcomers Cheng Xiao and Chen Zhiguo, are all already at the peak of the Golden Core, which is the Great Celestial Elephant.

In front of a master of the Tribulation like the clone Zheng Zha, Li Chungang is nothing at all. The Devils are interested in his potential.

Li Chungang is the same as Zhang Sanfeng in the martial arts world. What limits their achievements is the world's upper limit. Once this upper limit is removed, their achievements are immeasurable.

The so-called upper realm in this world should be a fantasy world of cultivation, and immortals refer to monks or warriors who have become gods or above.

There should be another heaven in the upper world, where there are immortals and gods that are familiar to reincarnation people.

For example, Xu Fengnian is the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu, Wang Xianzhi is the reincarnation of the White Emperor, and Chen Zhibao is the reincarnation of the Qing Emperor.

The combat power of these immortal gods should be at the level of real immortals, and they are not something that the reincarnations can provoke yet.

Fortunately, once the so-called immortals in the upper realm come to earth, their cultivation will be suppressed by this world to the realm of heaven and humans. This is a limitation of the laws of the world.

Therefore, as long as reincarnators stay in the mortal world and do not break through the gates of heaven and ascend to the upper realm, they are basically invincible.

Because reincarnations are not living beings in this world, they are not restricted by this law. Only the Lord God can restrict them.

Therefore, they can maintain the cultivation and fighting power of heavenly beings, that is, gods and above even in the mortal world.

…

"Wow"

The waterspout swept past the water armor without any surprise, and everyone discovered that the water armor was shorter.

Taking a closer look, it turned out that the helmeted head of Shui Jia had disappeared without a trace, and blood spurted out from its cavity, staining the ground red.

After the waterspout passed by the water armor, it dissipated a few feet away behind it. A bright red helmet fell from the air to the ground with a thud.

At the same time, the headless body of the water armor also fell straight to the ground.

The reason why this situation occurs is because in the waterspout, the real killing effect is the rainwater giant knife, or the sword in the rainwater giant knife.

The sword passed by, not only cutting off the water armor's neck guard, but also cutting off the water armor man's head.

The waterspout was only formed by the air flow brought by the sword, and had no lethality. It could not even roll up the red armor of the talisman weighing hundreds of kilograms, and could only barely roll its head away.

After Zheng Zha killed the water-armored man with one strike and the power of this move completely dissipated, the heavy rain fell from the sky again to the world.

The blood spurting out of the water armor man's mouth soon turned into a bright red stream of water under the wash of the heavy rain, and rushed to the low-lying area.

"Qiang"

Zheng Zha returned the sword to its sheath, turned around and said to Xu Fengnian: "Let them collect the red armor and study the talismans inside the armor carefully. There may be unexpected surprises."

Xu Fengnian's eyes lit up and he immediately ordered: "Shu Sha Lu Qian Tang, I leave it to you."

The two of them silently dismounted and headed towards Hongjia. They were not dissatisfied with this, but they were just cleaning up the mess, which was better than letting them go up and fight to the death.

Wei Shuyang said with great interest: "Your Majesty, can you hand over this red armor to the old Taoist for research?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "Since Grandpa Wei is interested, there is nothing wrong with it."

After saying that, he said to Zheng Zha with great interest: "Brother Zheng, that sword you just struck was the storm type among the seven limits of swallowing the sky and destroying the earth?"

Zheng Zha nodded and said: "Exactly."

Li Chungang then asked: "How much power did you use?"

Zheng Zha's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "About 50%. This red armor of the Talisman General that was divided into five parts is not qualified for me to use my full strength."

Li Chungang nodded secretly when he heard this. It seems that he guessed well. Although there is a certain gap between him and Zheng Zha now, the gap is not too big.
