Kill demons and eliminate demons, gain 60 years of skill at the beginning

Chapter 242
On the thirteenth day after the end of Chunyang Wuzong's trial, Yanzhou, who had just recovered from the shock, was once again all boiled over by a piece of news.

News came from the border that the barbarians officially sent troops to attack Daxia!

As soon as this news came out, it could be said that one stone caused a thousand waves, and the whole Yanzhou, even other state capitals, and even the whole world were shaken by it.

It has been 23 years since the barbarians disappeared in Kyushu. Since 23 years ago, the barbarians were driven into the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains by the current emperor of Xia. For such a long time, the barbarians have not dared to step into the territory of Great Xia on a large scale!
Occasionally, barbarians appeared, and they only walked out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains to understand the current situation in Kyushu, but they never dared to cross the border.

But this time, it is said that the reason why the barbarians dared to walk out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and even attacked the Great Xia, was because the barbarians obtained the relics of ancient gods and demons in the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains!

In that battle back then, Emperor Xia ruled the world, and with his own power, severely injured the current patriarch and high priest of the barbarian tribe, forcing them to retreat into the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, in order to protect the barbarian tribe from being wiped out.

If it weren't for the special environment of Shiwan Dashan, and the dissuasion of the rest of the people, maybe Emperor Xia would have entered the depths of Shiwan Dashan and completely wiped out the barbarians.

The grievances between the barbarians and the human races date back to ancient times, and the two sides can be said to have accumulated grievances for a long time.

At this moment, the entire Great Wilderness Mansion was in motion, a dense army was stationed on the border, and Ping Xihou was immediately awakened from the secret room by Wu Ying after learning that the barbarians had attacked the border.

After all, Marquis Pingxi was still required to make a decision on such a major event as a barbarian attack. He led the army to fight. In the entire Dahuang Mansion, or the entire Yanzhou, Marquis Pingxi said he was second, and no one dared to say that he was number one.

Even looking at Daxia, Marquis Pingxi's ability to lead troops is definitely among the top three.

It is precisely because of this that Marquis Pingxi is highly valued in Daxia. The more troubled times are, the more people like Marquis Pingxi are needed.

What's more, he himself is a martial arts master who has achieved great perfection.

"Master Hou!"

At this moment, in the military tent, Ping Xihou came out of the customs. He was wearing a pitch-black battle armor, sitting at the head, with an extremely solemn expression.

Xu Wei, on the other hand, knelt down on one knee and reported to Ping Xihou all the recent movements of the barbarians.

"Barbarians, are you still unable to hold back..." Ping Xihou looked coldly into the distance.

"Master Hou, the barbarians have dispatched an army of 50. At this moment, Chen Bing is at the border and engaged in a small-scale fight with our army." Xu Wei said.

"How about the casualties of our army?" Ping Xihou asked.

"In the previous small-scale battle, more than [-] people were killed and injured by the barbarians, and more than [-] people were killed or injured by our army." Xu Wei lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Marquis Pingxi frowned immediately, and said: "The casualties are so heavy?"

You know, the Black Tie Army under his command is the elite of the Great Xia army, well-equipped, guarding the border all the year round, and every soldier has at least the blood refining level.

On the other hand, the barbarians have backward equipment, not even armor, and are extremely primitive. In Ping Xihou's view, the black iron army should crush the barbarian army in a battle between the two sides, but he did not expect this to be the result.

Xu Wei said in a low voice: "Master Hou, those barbarians of the barbarians are not afraid of death. They are full of blood and courage. Even if they die, they will drag our army as a backing. Therefore, there are many cases where they all die together."

"Blood brave?"

A look of displeasure appeared on Pingxihou's face, and he said: "The barbarians have blood bravery, so don't we, the Black Tie Army, have no blood bravery? Is it because we haven't fought for too long, and the knives in the soldiers' hands are rusted!"

Since Marquis Pingxi took command of the border, the barbarians rarely left the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and even if they did, they were only sporadic, so there were indeed very few battles.

However, even so, the Xuantie Army practiced day and night, and there were many times when Marquis Pingxi personally led a team to march into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, leading the Xuantie Army to fight against the beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Although it was only training troops on the periphery, the strength of the Xuan Tie Army should not be underestimated, and they had really seen blood.

It was precisely because of this that Marquis Pingxi frowned when he heard that there were so many casualties.

Seeing Pingxihou getting angry, Xu Wei hurriedly said: "This subordinate is incompetent, please punish him!"

"Forget it, you go down first." Ping Xihou frowned and said.

"Yes."

When Xu Wei heard this, he didn't dare to say anything more, he got up immediately and left here.

"Wu Ying, what do you think of the current situation?" After Xu Wei left, Ping Xihou asked suddenly.

As soon as the words fell, the air around Ping Xihou was slightly distorted, and a figure wearing a black iron mask quietly emerged.

It is Ping Xihou's most important confidant and the killer leader of his intelligence organization - Wuying.

Wuying said softly: "Master Hou, the barbarians are coming so fiercely that they have dispatched a full 50 troops. If Lord Hou can kill all of these 50 troops, the barbarians will be hurt, and they may even be devastated." .”

"Furthermore, if the 50 troops extract blood essence and refine it all, it will be enough for Lord Hou to improve his cultivation. Breaking through to the Hundred Apertures Realm is a piece of cake!"

Hearing this, Ping Xihou was a little moved. Originally, he retreated this time just to try, to see if he could break through to the Hundred Apertures Realm by himself.

But obviously, he failed.

In fact, the main reason is that Ping Xihou is a little anxious. If he settles down for another year or so, he will definitely be able to successfully break into the Hundred Apertures Realm.

However, the current situation in the world does not allow Ping Xihou to be like this. If he wants to seek more benefits for himself, he will definitely need a stronger martial arts cultivation base.

Because, when martial arts cultivation has reached a certain level, no matter how many troops there are, there will be nothing they can do.

The martial arts master's cultivation seems to be very high, but in fact, looking at the entire Kyushu, only when he has reached the innate state can he truly have a certain right to speak.

This is also the reason why Ping Xihou was so anxious to break through.

"Essence blood..." Ping Xihou pondered, if the 50 barbarian army could extract and refine all the blood essence, his cultivation would definitely improve greatly, breaking through to the Xiantian realm would no longer be a problem.

It's just that sucking blood is an evil method, and it will be despised by the world. Once it is known, it will be attacked by all the people.

Even if it is a barbarian, such a method is still not enough, especially since he is still the Marquis of Pingxi in Daxia. If this news spreads, it will have a great impact on his reputation.

"Master Hou seems to be hesitant?" As Ping Xihou's confidant, Wu Ying could see Ping Xihou's mood at a glance.

Hearing this, Ping Xihou didn't hide it, he didn't need any pretense with Wuying, he just nodded.

"50 blood essences can indeed push my cultivation to an extremely terrifying level, not to mention the Hundred Apertures Realm, as long as the blood essence is strong enough, even a master of martial arts at the Hundred Apertures Realm Dzogchen or even the Xiantian Realm is not enough impossible."

Wuying said: "Master Hou is worried that this news will spread?"

Ping Xihou shook his head slightly, and said: "Not only that, you also heard what Xu Wei said just now, after a great battle, the barbarians lost more than 50 people, and our army lost more than 60 people. Annihilate them all, even though I have [-] black iron troops under my command, after the First World War, although the barbarians will be injured and unable to recover, it is the same for me."

"What's more, this time, the barbarians are coming fiercely. Since they dare to walk out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, they must be fully prepared. In my opinion, the barbarians will not be so easy to deal with in this battle."

Hearing the words, Wuying also nodded his head. His overall view of leading troops in battle was obviously far worse than that of Pingxihou.

"What if we refine the blood of our soldiers together?" Wuying said suddenly.

Hearing this, Ping Xihou's expression froze suddenly, his fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched unconsciously, and his brows were also furrowed.

"If it is discovered by other soldiers, the Xuan Tie Army will be divided and disintegrated." Ping Xihou said in a deep voice.

Wuying said: "Master Hou, those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. You have been sitting in this desolate border for so many years, do you want to stay here for the rest of your life?"

"What's more, now that Emperor Xia is missing, the world is changing greatly, and the current situation is turbulent. No one knows what will happen in the future. We need to take precautions in advance. Troubled times are coming, and this is also the best way for you to rise up, Lord Hou." Timing, once the world is stable and Kyushu Kangping, it will be difficult to make achievements."

Wuying saw that Ping Xihou's brows were tightly furrowed, he was familiar with Ping Xihou's character and knew that at this moment, Ping Xihou was already deep in thought.

As the leader of killers under Ping Xihou's command, Wuying didn't fluctuate at all when he talked about killing and refining blood. It seemed to him that this was just a common thing.

For so many years, Wuying's hands were stained with blood, and to him, human life only has a difference in value.

"This matter needs to be discussed in the long term, and it needs to be carefully planned. You are right, the world will change drastically, and I must prepare in advance." Ping Xihou took a deep breath, and he already agreed with Wuying's idea.

Now that the Kyushu is in chaos, and the barbarians attack the border, casualties are inevitable. As long as he is concealed enough, no one will be able to find out.

What's more, the border is his territory, and it is not so easy for others to check his details.

Although the soldiers under his command are also part of Ping Xihou's strength, in Ping Xihou's view, his own martial arts strength is obviously more important.

"One of the balance needs to be grasped, otherwise, if the loss of too many people, it will be difficult to resist the barbarians." Ping Xihou said in a deep voice.

Hearing the words, Wuying also nodded. There must be no mistakes at the border, otherwise, Da Xiadu will definitely hold Pingxihou accountable.

Wuying said: "Master Hou, it's really nothing if we lost to the barbarians. It would be better to have more casualties, because then, Lord Hou, you will have a reason to ask Daxia to increase your troops."

"The barbarians marched into the border. This time, Tiandu has no reason not to agree to your request for additional troops, unless the Crown Prince of Daxia and that Duke Huai don't want the border anymore."

Hearing this, Ping Xihou's eyes lit up, and he said: "That's right, this plan is very clever!"

call--

Suddenly, an extremely piercing wind appeared in the military tent, and Ping Xihou's complexion changed suddenly.

Even Wuying, although he couldn't see his face, but from his subtle movements, it could be seen that his body tensed up instantly, ready to strike at any time.

At this time, a wisp of black mist appeared in the military tent very abruptly. Seeing this, Ping Xihou frowned, and there was a blazing blood in his body. At this moment, he himself seemed to be transformed into a big furnace, releasing Bursts of scorching breath.

Not only that, but Wuying also shook his body, and a thick blood flowed out. He is actually a martial arts master level powerhouse!
But the next moment, Ping Xihou's face changed suddenly, because he found that his energy was imprisoned in this military tent, and he could not transmit the slightest bit to the outside world.

"Great master of martial arts?!" Wuying's pupils shrank.
