One person, one sword, I have guarded the lonely city for 70 years

Chapter 333 Another Die!
Bai Yingqi's "shamelessness" stunned everyone in the mourning hall.

You know, this is no longer the dissolute young man of the Bai family, but the Patriarch of the Bai family, the venerable Jinguo of Jingguo!
Such a big man actually swears "I am a dog" in front of a group of people.

To what extent do you have to be afraid?
Many people immediately recalled what happened six years ago. In the middle of the war, Bai Yingqi asked to be transferred back to China. Although it was approved by the court, this behavior became the laughing stock of the whole country for a while.

King Jing Yi was annoyed and funny when he heard it. He understood Bai Yingqi's temperament, so he retreated and said:
"Otherwise, you go with that Huo Yi. You are in charge of supervising him outside the city, and you don't need to go into Anxi."

"Although our army has suffered a disastrous defeat, the Beiting army is not enough. We still cannot give up in the desert area. We need to send troops to garrison and wait for the right time."

"Occasionally harass Anxi to contain the movements of the Beiting Army."

Such requirements are already very low. Bai Yingqi is equivalent to a supervising army, not a general in the main battle, and does not need to go deep into dangerous situations.

With a bitter face, Bai Yingqi could only reluctantly agree.

There is no way, as the lord of the country, enjoying the luck of the country, he must contribute to the country.

He has stayed at home for six years, and it is time to give back.

"I told you in advance that if Anxi really has Song... really has a high-level ghost fairy, I will immediately order to retreat." Bai Yingqi emphasized.

King Jing Yi nodded, "That's natural, we can't go head-to-head with Tang Guo anymore."

After the arrangements were made, Meng Su finally held a public funeral.

When the news came out, the whole country mourned for a while, and countless people regretted the unexpected end of the general.

Some people think that Meng Su's record is not obvious, not as good as the famous generals of previous dynasties, but they don't know that in Anxi more than 20 years ago, he was the first person to find Song Yun's trace, led his subordinates to chase and intercept him, and almost caught Song Yun.

Counting the generals of the past dynasties, this is the only one who has dealt with Song Yun and the Beiting Army many times, and can still stabilize the situation without collapse.

Amidst the mourning, the argument of "giving up on attacking Anxi" gradually spread.

In the past 100 years, many venerables and generals in Jingguo have lost their lives on the way to attack Anxi, and even more soldiers died in battle, and the cumulative number may be close to one million!

Anxi is simply a dangerous place for Jingren!

Regardless of these rumors, King Jing Yi tried his best to reject all opinions and sent Bai Yingqi to lead troops into the desert.

As for Huo Yi who escaped before the battle, because he was a loose cultivator in the South China Sea, King Jing had no choice but to reprimand him and order him to go out again to make up for his mistakes.

A few days later, Bai Yingqi led Jingguo's [-] fresh troops and hurried eastward into the desert, and gathered more than [-] defeated soldiers under Mengsu's command along the way.

Such an army does not seek to capture Anxi, but it is completely capable of fighting against the Beiting Army.

They didn't know that Anxi was about to go to the city at this time——

Gao Hanqing stood at the gate of the north gate, did not speak for a long time, recalling the situation of Meng Su's fall from the horse that night in his mind.

"There is a vaguely familiar aura, which disappears in a flash. What exactly is it..."

Beside them, teams of carriages were dragging supplies and slowly leaving the city.

After this battle, the Beiting army won a big victory, and Gao Hanqing felt that Anxi could still defend.

But Tang Wang Li Tianyang was almost besieged and killed by the Jing army when he heard that Gao Hanqing was going to risk his life, so he issued three orders in succession, ordering the Beiting army to return to the Tang country immediately.

Seeing that the soldiers were all eager to return, Gao Hanqing hesitated for a while, but chose to agree.

But before leaving, I couldn't let go of this doubt in my heart.

"Who is helping me?"

His heart moved, and he took out a thin booklet from his pocket, which was the first few moves of "Nine Swords of Killing the Sky" given to him by Song Yun.

Staring carefully at the flying ink characters one by one, feeling the restless sword intent between the lines.

Gao Hanqing suddenly shouted: "Master! Where are you!"

The sound echoed endlessly in the empty city of Anxi, and the surrounding soldiers were startled.

No one responded.

Gao Hanqing waited for a while, feeling a little disappointed.

When the sky thunder covered Anxi, everyone thought Song Yun was doomed.

However, he had always had a premonition that his master would not die so easily!
Couldn't find any evidence, but there were always some unexplained anomalies.

It happened once six years ago, and again the other day.

"Master, what have you left behind?"

Gao Hanqing shook his head and sighed.

The reason why he was reluctant to give up on Anxi was because he always felt that there were secrets in this dilapidated lonely city.

It's a pity that the secret hasn't been revealed yet, and the Beiting army can't hold on any longer.

Gao Hanqing put the booklet of sword techniques in her arms, and stretched out her hand to press the hilt of the sword.

"I'll be back."

"Anxi's story is not over yet..."

With a wave of his hand, he walked out of the city gate with the last batch of Beiting troops and walked into the vast desert.

Anxi, hidden in the wind and sand all over the sky, isolated and silent.

A few days later, Bai Yingqi led his army to the city.

"Everyone is gone?"

Seeing that there was no need to fight, Jing Guo soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

They also had another task on this trip, which was to bury the corpses. Seeing the miserable corpses of Jing soldiers lying in the desert, everyone felt sorry for them.

Anxi, really is Jingren's Jedi!
Huo Yifei circled the city twice in the air, and found that there was no one in the city. He came back and said with a smile:

"The Beiting army has all withdrawn. It is a great achievement to win without a fight and successfully capture Anxi!"

After all, the leaders are about to enter the city.

Bai Yingqi stood there without moving.

"The Tang Kingdom has given up on Anxi, and you still dare not go in? Why, are you afraid that Song Yun's spirit in heaven will curse you to death?" Huo Yi sneered.

Bai Yingqi glanced at him lightly, "The reason why you didn't go in is to find out who it was that scared you so much that you ran away that night!"

Huo Yi's face froze.

In terms of timidity and fear of death, the two of them are inseparable, so don't mock the other.

After waiting outside the city for a while, seeing Bai Yingqi fiddled with several spells but found nothing, Huo Yi said impatiently:
"Forget it, there's no one else, you're still afraid of being a bird, bored, let's go in and rest!"

With a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of soldiers lined up and entered through the open city gate.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Huo Yi smiled and patted Bai Yingqi's shoulder: "You are overreacting! Once Tang Jun withdraws, the hidden strong will definitely leave."

"Besides, the two of us are here, and we have the power to fight against any enemy, so why panic?"

After finishing speaking, he followed the troops swaggeringly and walked towards the gate of the city.

Bai Yingqi still ignored him, standing there and frowning slightly.

Standing outside Anxi City, he always felt uneasy, just like six years ago.

But looking at the empty city in front of him, it doesn't look like there is any danger inside.

"Am I really overreacting?"

Bai Yingqi rubbed his face, took a step, and prepared to enter Anxi.

The army went in, and he stayed outside alone, which didn't seem like a big deal.

Unexpectedly, before taking two steps, I heard a scream in front of me!
"Uh-"

The voice was shrill and miserable, like a wild cat being skinned, and tens of thousands of soldiers were terrified.

Bai Yingqi's heart skipped a beat, and she raised her head to look forward.

Under the city gate, Huo Yigang wanted to go in, but suddenly covered his chest and yelled, then fell straight down!

A Martial Saint died suddenly on the spot. This scene was even more frightening than Meng Su's falling from a horse. Tens of thousands of soldiers were frightened for a moment, and they all stayed where they were, neither advancing nor retreating.

There was silence inside and outside the city, only the never-ending howling of the wind in my ears.

Bai Yingqi felt like he was back many years ago, facing Song Yun in Anxi City, his whole body was submerged in fear like a tide, and he was so cold that he could suffocate.

It's just that now that he has the cultivation base of a ghost fairy, he no longer trembles like he did back then, and soon came back to his senses, shouting loudly:

"Retreat! The whole army retreats!"

The tens of thousands of Jingjun were in a state of confusion, barely maintaining order, and groups of troops fled out of the city in a hurry.

Bai Yingqi didn't plan to stay in the desert any longer, so he took Huo Yi's body and returned home directly.

Jing Guo made a second attack, but he didn't even see the enemy's face, so he damaged a martial saint first!
The loss of one venerable is a big deal. Jing Guo blocked the news and did not announce it to the outside world.

Bai Yingqi led a group of Taoist masters to study for a long time, and found that Huo Yi's cause of death was almost the same as Meng Su's.

They were all scared to death!

As for who the shooter is, there is still no conclusion.

But everyone agrees that this is a top-notch method of ghosts and immortals, either Cang Hai Ke or Jiu Huo Yan Long.

However, Song Yun was famous for his martial arts and swordsmanship back then, and he didn't show too strong a talent for Taoism. No one thought of him.

After researching for a long time, I finally came to a conclusion:

Tang Guo voluntarily gave up Anxi, but he didn't want Jing Guo to occupy Anxi, so he arranged some kind of psychological attack method in the city, killing Meng Su and Huo Yi.

"This is the only possibility." Bai Yingqi sighed, "Song Yun can't be revived and turned into a ghost of the Nine Tribulations, right?"

Regardless of the truth, Jing Guo never dared to go to Anxi again.

Without this transfer station deep in the desert, it would be a long and difficult journey and unrealistic to send troops from the desert to the mainland of Tang.

They can only slowly find other routes.

Tang's northwest defense line was finally saved from war, and the Beiting army got a long-lost chance to rest and reorganize.

Along the river of time, Song Yun slowly got up.

"It's impossible for me to stay by the river all the time. There's only so much I can help."

"In this battle, Gao Hanqing will die and survive. It is estimated that he can break through the middle stage of martial arts, and it is not a big problem to survive."

"The battle situation in the Tang Kingdom is also basically stable."

"Just wait for the final battle."

Song Yun walked slowly, upstream along the river, leaving the "present" and heading for the "past".

Scenes of scenes floated on the surface of the water, rushing behind them.

A hundred years of troubled times, a prosperous Great Xia, the era of the Five Emperors and the crisis of the Heavenly Court...

Finally came to the forefront, the human race has just risen, and the era of hardships is full of hardships.

Song Yun jumped up.

Thousands of lights and shadows flicker in front of my eyes, like colorful ink splashed into the water, mixed and entangled, and the delicate tones change indefinitely.

In the end, green and blue dominated.

The sky and the earth reappeared, and there was no longer a vast desert in front of us, but a large oasis, surrounded by a few fragmented sandy land.

The sapphire-like lake is clear and clear. Populus euphratica and white willow branches are facing the sky, growing wantonly in the sun, while wild roses and bell thorns grow in the humid places, and clusters of reeds and whisker grass grow by the lake.

Anxi was full of oases 10 years ago, and it was the most vibrant time.

Just as Song Yun got up, he saw a huge black shadow rising in front of him, covering the sunlight and sky like a hill.

This is a black-haired giant ape. It is two feet tall, with thick arms stretched out to nearly three feet long. Its terrifying physique brings a very oppressive aura.

In the deep sunken eye sockets of the giant ape, a pair of black eyes opened wide, staring at Song Yun fiercely, expressing surprise and dissatisfaction, as if seeing a flea that had slipped into its nest.

Huh - Huh - Its broad chest rose and fell, and it began to take a big breath, and the large muscles on its arms trembled slightly.

Song Yun's face was calm, and the black steel sword with gold pattern quietly emerged in his hand.

Seeing that there was a "stick" in the human's hand suddenly, the giant ape suddenly became vigilant. With a flip of his arm, his palm, which was bigger than a cattail fan, fell down, intending to smash Song Yun into a pulp!
The sword light passed by, like a flash of lightning, and the sharp edge greeted him.

Puff, the sharp blade cut through the flesh and sank deeply.

Song Yun was surprised to find that this sword did not cut off the giant ape's arm!
Although he didn't use the ultimate move of "Nine Swords of Killing the Sky", his sword's power is already impressive, and with the top-grade black steel sword with gold pattern, he can easily cut through the steel plate.

But the giant ape's fur is very thick, tougher than many heavenly armors, and it can withstand most of the damage.

The giant ape let out a cry of pain, the muscles on its arms trembled, it was extremely elastic, and it cleverly clamped the sword edge!

Song Yun wanted to draw his sword to fight again, but found that the black steel sword with gold pattern was tightly clamped and could not move.

"It's interesting, this beast is intelligent!"

The giant ape roared, and another slap followed.

If it were someone else, they would have to abandon their sword at this time, otherwise they would be waiting to die if they stayed where they were.

Even if Song Yun is already a martial arts immortal, he is still much inferior to this giant ape when he competes in brute strength. His strong body even looks a little thin under the shadow of the giant ape.

However, Song Yun directly took the gold-patterned black steel sword into the [Void Storage Box].

In an instant, the giant palm came down and hit the ground hard.

boom!
The surrounding ground trembled wildly, and a large piece of weeds was broken by the roots, and flew into the air together with dust and soil clods.

The giant ape raised its hand, and there were two-foot-deep palm prints on the ground.

Missed!
Song Yun's figure was like a ghost, and he moved back a foot in an instant, unscathed, only the white robe on his body fluttered slightly in the violent palm wind.

The giant ape looked suspiciously at the wound on his arm.

Why did the "stick" suddenly disappear?
It felt as if it was being tricked, it bent forward and stared at Song Yun, growling angrily.

In the distance, the sound of "Aoao" sounded one after another.

The huge black apes stood up one by one, striding towards this side with big strides, every time the soles of their feet hit the ground, they could shake up the dust and mud several feet high on the ground.

Boom, boom, boom...

For a moment, Anxi Oasis seemed to have an earthquake.

"Am I... entering the lair of the black ape?"

Song Yun frowned slightly, thinking whether to kill or leave.

The situation is unknown now, and he doesn't intend to act rashly.

At this moment, a heart-piercing scream sounded in the distance——

A black ape walked over, carrying two thin and struggling teenagers on its shoulders.

The black ape opened its mouth wide, bit off half of a boy's body, and then began to chew.

Blood dripped from between black-fur-covered lips.

Song Yun's face darkened, and the heel of his palm suddenly pushed the long sword in his hand.

The black steel sword with golden inscriptions turned into a black shadow and went through the sky. If a comet hits the sun, it would instantly pierce through the heart of the black ape!
"Flying Sword Mahayana Chapter", the sun is falling!
