I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 339: Loyalty to the Emperor! The Cauldron is Broken! He Uses His Body to Repair the Sky!

The city has been broken.

When those figures in ochre-yellow Taoist robes appeared in the city, shouting out those outrageous words, everything was already a foregone conclusion.

It was clear that just a moment ago, a group of Tai'an military officers had sworn in front of the county magistrate Li An that they would live and die with this city.

Seeing this situation at this moment, he hesitated for only a moment, then left his soldiers behind and ran away without looking back!

As the saying goes, a general is the courage of his soldiers.

Even the superior has run away, can we still expect those soldiers to fight to the death?

Almost in the blink of an eye, the city's last hope of turning the tide was shattered.

Inside the county magistrate’s mansion, a group of officials, both high and low, watched the shameful scene and cursed angrily.

One clerk was so angry that he suddenly drew out the long sword at his waist, which usually only served as a decoration, and rushed out of the government office, barely gathering some of the fleeing soldiers who were running around like headless flies.

At one point, he even killed off a group of Huang Tian thieves on a certain street.

But before he could catch his breath, he saw another even more turbulent ochre-yellow 'wave' rushing towards him.

The clerk drew his sword and brandished it, shouting, "Kill the thief!"

However, he had lost his hair crown which had been knocked off at some point, and his hair was now disheveled, even though he had always prided himself on being elegant.

Describes the madness that is displayed in a state of embarrassment.

But... I can’t kill them all!

There are too many Huang Tian villains in front of us, and we can’t kill them all!

Kill one and then another.

Kill one batch, and another batch comes!
It was obvious that these villains' cultivation was not high, and some of them had never practiced at all, but they still rushed towards him like moths to a flame.

He was shouting the same outrageous, ridiculous and rebellious words.

The sky is dead?

absurd!

What is heaven?
Heaven is the Tao!
It is an eternal and immortal existence!

If Heaven does not exist, how can the ants in this world survive?
The clerk thought that these villains were ignorant and ridiculous, and he swung the long sword in his hand with an aura of inner energy more and more rapidly.

But soon, an ordinary but common long knife pierced his chest inadvertently.

He lowered his head to look at the bloody tip of the knife exposed on his chest, looked back with some confusion, and asked doubtfully.

"why?"

There was a glimmer of struggle in the eyes of the soldier behind him.

"I'm sorry, sir, I want to live."

As he said this, he instantly drew back the long sword in his hand, and the struggle in his eyes disappeared.

"What's more... Sir, this Cang Tian is indeed dead..."

"Die in the natural nobility of your kind."

After saying this, he took out a ochre-yellow turban from his bosom and tied it on the helmet of his armor.

He looked indifferently at the sharp swords that kept slashing at the clerk, and shouted with his arms raised.

"Heaven is dead! Huang Tian is here to stand!"

"It's the year of Jiazi! Good luck to the world!"

kill!

Fight to create a bright and clear world!
Kill someone who is as powerful as a dragon under the Yellow Sky!

……

Similar scenes can be seen in many corners of the city.

When the city was broken, those clerks who usually could only write poems burst out with bravery and ferocity that no one had expected.

Figures holding scholars' swords shouted, "Dayong has nurtured scholars for more than two thousand years, and it is time to die for justice today."

Fight to the death and kill the enemy.

Some of the military officers who were responsible for defending the city fled in the face of the enemy.

In the blink of an eye, some of them even wrapped yellow scarves around their heads and led their soldiers.

But at the same time, one must be worthy of the salary and fight to the death.

It’s a pity that the efforts of these people at this time were quickly drowned out by the vast ochre-yellow ocean that was rolling in.

In short, these four short words, "nothing can be done to save the situation", can sum it up in one word.

Li An, the prefect of Tai'an County who witnessed all this, silently lowered his eyes and fell from the void.

Looking at the anxious county magistrate standing beside him, he suddenly laughed.

"We have been fighting for so long, but it seems we don't have to fight anymore in the future."

The forces they came from have always been incompatible.

When it comes to the officialdom, it is natural that there will be tit-for-tat.

Seeing that Li An was still in the mood to joke, the county magistrate became furious.

"It's already like this, what's the point of fighting!"

After saying that, he hurriedly asked.

"Have the people sent to those noble families returned?"

"What did they say?"

Hearing this, the smile on Li An's face widened and he even laughed out loud.

The county magistrate said angrily.

"why are you laughing?"

Li Ang's laughter suddenly stopped, and then he looked at the old enemy in front of him who had been fighting with him for a lifetime with pity.

It seems that no one expected this guy to be so naive at the critical moment.

The county magistrate glared angrily, "What do you mean by that look?"

Li An shook his head and chuckled, his tone rather helpless.

"Don't count on it, they won't come."

Having said that, he added one more sentence for emphasis.

"Neither the sect behind you nor the family of this county governor will come..."

As soon as these words came out, the anger on the county magistrate's face disappeared instantly and turned pale.

"But even they..."

But before he could finish his words, Li Ang interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

Then he slowly uttered a sentence.

"You and I are both abandoned."

The county magistrate just lost his mind in a hurry, but he is not really stupid.

The meaning of Li An's words instantly made his brows and eyes clear, and he said with a look of horror.

"Abandoned? You mean they and Huang Tiandao..."

Li An laughed and did not respond to his words, but just sighed softly.

"It doesn't matter to us who it is."

"What we need to consider now is..."

Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud laugh coming from outside.

"Haha! County Magistrate Li is indeed a good official!"

“See through it all!”

Li An smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"It came so quickly."

Then he looked deeply at the county magistrate beside him.

"Going together?"

But after asking this question, he shook his head without waiting for the county magistrate to answer.

"Forget it, I'll go by myself!"

After saying this, he took a step and appeared outside the county magistrate's mansion.

Looking at the figure wearing Taoist armor standing in the air, even though he was mentally prepared, Li An couldn't help but his pupils contract violently for a moment.

Seven Realms True Immortal...

Li An slowly exhaled a breath and suddenly laughed.

“I didn’t expect that in order to take over this small Tai’an County, you Huang Tian thieves would actually mobilize a Seventh Realm True Immortal…”

Looking at Li Ang's disrespectful attitude and hearing him call him "Huang Tian thief" without any courtesy.

Whether it was the figures standing in the sky with the Seventh Realm True Immortal of Huang Tian Dao, or the disciples and believers of Huang Tian Dao who had surrounded the County Magistrate's Mansion below, they all shouted angrily.

"presumptuous!"

"How brave!"

The seventh realm true immortal of Huang Tiandao waved his hand to stop the shouting and cursing around him, but his expression gradually turned cold.

"You are a minister of Yong, but you do not understand the principles of Huang Tian Dao and the great justice of Huang Tian. You are not guilty of ignorance."

"I can forgive you for your mistake."

As he spoke, the terrifying pressure of a seventh-level True Immortal was released.

"Now that Tai'an County City has been completely taken over by my Yellow Empire, I, the commander, only ask you..."

"Will you surrender?"

Is this the only choice the family leaves for me after I was abandoned?
Li An smiled.

Facing the seventh-level true immortal of the Huang Tian Dao in front of him, and facing all the Huang Tian Dao disciples in the city, he laughed louder and louder, and more and more unbridled.

"I appreciate your kindness."

"It's just that I am used to the dignified and dignified salary of a county magistrate, and I really can't get used to eating the dregs of you villains and low-class people!"

ridiculous!

The fake Taoists, the wandering cultivators in the wilderness, the idlers in the market, and the rioters in the fields who only know how to cheat and deceive have gathered together to become thieves, and they want to drag him, who is innocent and noble, into the water?
Pooh! what!
Are you worthy?

And those bastards in the tribe are too arrogant.

Ang Lee couldn't stop laughing.

Such undisguised ridicule naturally angered Huang Tiandao again.

"You...are asking for death?"

As if he was seeking to verify something, the Huangtian Seventh Realm True Immortal spoke in a very slow tone.

Ang Lee laughed.

"What joy is there in life, and what fear is there in death?"

"Since I am a county governor and receive salary from the Ji family, I am a minister of the Yong Dynasty! How can I rebel and surrender to the enemy?"

As he spoke, his figure flashed, and he unexpectedly swung a sword at the Huang Tian Seventh Realm True Immortal with a long sword in his hand without any warning.

"Thief! Die!"

It was clearly the sixth realm of the Dharma Realm, but at this moment, Li An showed no signs of any Dharma Realm permeating.

There was only a huge sword light that was extremely bright and swift.

Faced with this terrifying sword light that seemed to be as powerful as the sky toppling in the eyes of ordinary people, the True Immortal of the Seventh Realm of Huang Tiandao just squinted his eyes and took a look with mockery in his eyes.

"You want to defeat the immortals as a mortal?"

As their thoughts suddenly intersected, Li An roared.

"So what?"

"cut!"

The sound of the word "slash" shook the heavens and the earth. However, facing this sword, the Seventh Realm True Immortal of Huang Tian Dao only raised a finger casually.

"You don't understand the upper three realms at all..."

The sound of the intersection of divine thoughts reached Li An's ears.

The huge and dazzling sword light shattered into pieces.

The long sword in Li An's hand also shattered.

Along with it, the body of the Tai'an County Magistrate also shattered.

In that sword strike just now, he used a forbidden technique and infused all the magic power of the sixth realm, including the domain of law, into it.

However, he didn't expect that in the end, not only would he be able to kill the immortal, he couldn't even slightly injure the other party.

"Is this... the Seventh Realm True Immortal?"

It is obvious that he is only one realm away from his sixth realm Dharmakāya, but the gap between them is so huge that it is incomprehensible.

Li An sighed.

After all, he is not a true genius.

Just like the champion marquis of Youzhou.

In the battle last year, the Champion Marquis fought against the enemy at the foot of Dingbei City with the cultivation of a True Person in the Yuanshen Realm, and killed two True Persons in the Sixth Realm in a row.

Famous throughout the world.

He also heard rumors that just a month ago, that person, with his cultivation level of the sixth realm, defeated a barbarian of the seventh realm, and used this to break through the gap between immortals and mortals, achieving the title of the number one immortal in the current Jiazi period.

such a pity!
The gap between people is sometimes even greater than that between dogs.

Compared with those peerless geniuses, ordinary people like them are not even qualified to compare with them.

Li An, whose body was gradually collapsing, had a helpless smile on his face.

He had just scolded these villains who were causing trouble in the world when he heard a familiar cry of surprise from behind him.

"Li Dingting!"

Dingting is Li Ang's courtesy name.

The guy who was speaking had never bothered to address me in the past, but he never expected that he would call me so intimately now.

Li Ang smiled.

But soon this smile turned into a bitter smile.

"You... why are you doing this?"

Another sword cut through the sky.

The county magistrate sneered.

"You, Li Dingting, are allowed to be loyal to the emperor, abide by your duties as a minister, and sacrifice your life for a good reputation?"

"I've been suppressed by you all my life. This time I want to go first."

Say it.

There was only one sound above the ancient city that had been established for thousands of years.

"I am Yan Chun, the prefect of Tai'an Prefecture in Dayong!"

……

The capital of gods, the Imperial Observatory.

Ever since Huang Tiandao offered sacrifices to heaven on the Lower Yuan Festival on October 15, the originally brilliant and glorious Dragon Cauldron that guards the country has become somewhat shadowy.

What this portended was clear to everyone who knew the inside story.

So over the past few days, a group of officials from the Imperial Observatory, both big and small, have been making their final efforts around this Dragon Cauldron that guards the country.

There is no request to restore its original brilliant glory.

I just hope that the current situation can be maintained.

All that remains is for the people in the Chaofeng Palace to kill all the Huang Tian villains who are wreaking havoc in the eight states, and the problem will be solved.

"Hold on! Don't let your magic power run out!"

The director of the Imperial Observatory had turned pale and kept shouting.

no way.

At this time, the Great Yong geomancy map engraved on the National Dragon Tripod showed that the eight states were completely dark and desolate. There was also a strange force that kept corroding the walls of the tripod!

And once the wall of the tripod is completely corroded.

Just based on the huge gap opened in the land of the Eight States, the "things" contained in the tripod would surely pour out!
Then, that would be the real disaster!
Fortunately, the people surrounding the director of the Imperial Observatory were very clear about the key points, so no one dared to be negligent.

They all gritted their teeth and held on, constantly struggling against the strange force that was corroding the wall of the cauldron.

Only in this way can a certain balance be maintained.

However, at a certain moment on this day.

Suddenly, a young Si Chen trembled with fear.

"Oh no! The cauldron... the cauldron is going to crack!"

In fact, if even he could see it, how could other people in the Imperial Observatory not see it?
The crack on the wall of the tripod, with the map of Jizhou as its center, was getting bigger and clearer.

In a blink of an eye, it spread to eight states.

At this moment, everyone's face changed drastically and they realized it instantly.

"It's a disaster! I'm afraid there will be another change in the Eight States!"

The director of the Imperial Observatory was mobilizing his magical powers, and his gray hair and beard were flying wildly.

"Quick! Cast the spell and hold on!"

It’s a pity that I heard one of the Lingtailangs say in fear immediately afterwards.

"Supervisor! We can't keep calm anymore!"

The voice just fell.

A slight sound that made everyone present feel as if they were falling into an icy cave fell into everyone's ears.

click-

A small piece of debris with a little verdigris fell down.

Then came the second piece, the third piece...

Correspondingly, from a crack somewhere on the wall of the cauldron, wisps of red and golden aura escaped from the cauldron.

Someone took a breath almost subconsciously.

The next moment, his whole body stiffened, and his originally fair and peaceful face suddenly became ferocious.

Gradually, pieces of fine red scales emerged from his face.

But that's about it.

In an instant, a domineering and cold aura penetrated through his forehead.

"Dragon energy is overbearing, ordinary people cannot eat it, remember! Remember!"

Hearing this old voice coming from beside him, the director of the Imperial Observatory did not care about the corpse on the ground and said with a look of joy.

"teacher!"

The Imperial Observatory is different from other government offices.

Officials inside are never transferred out of the province, and promotions are only made internally.

It looks like a government office, but its operating rules are somewhat similar to those of a sect.

Most of them follow the tradition of master-apprentice and father-son.

The other officials of the Imperial Observatory were also surprised to see the old figure suddenly appearing before them.

"Old Supervisor!"

Upon hearing this, the old figure just nodded slightly.

Then he fixed his gaze on the National Guardian Dragon Cauldron in front of him and sighed softly.

"I never thought that in such a short period of time, the Great Yong would fall to this point..."

When he was young, he had seen the glory of the Yong Dynasty at its peak, when the world was at peace, the country was sweeping across the four directions, and the barbarians were submissive.

When he was in his prime, he witnessed the brutal battles that caused the capital of the gods and even the entire world to change.

Perhaps some seeds of cause and effect were planted as early as that time.

But he did not expect that such disastrous consequences would come before he grew old and frail and passed away completely.

"Ah, maybe this is fate..."

The old supervisor was lost in thought and sighing.

But the current supervisor didn't care about these things. At this time, the cracks on the National Dragon Cauldron were getting bigger and bigger.

More and more dragon energy is dissipating.

If it weren't for the formation in the Imperial Observatory's main hall, it would have really dissipated.

I really don’t know how many potential dragons will be created!

In his anxiety, the current supervisor did not even bother to pay respect to the old supervisor. He continued to use his great magical power to maintain the body of the tripod while speaking in a hurry.

"Teacher! It's urgent!"

Hearing his disciple's words, the old supervisor was just regaining his composure when he spoke in a calm voice.

"Why are you panicking?"

Hearing the old warden’s words, the current warden felt inexplicably relieved.

That's what teachers are like.

Acting calmly and leisurely always gives people a sense of complete peace of mind.

So he finally relaxed a little and said sincerely.

"Please ask the teacher to teach me!"

Upon hearing this, the old supervisor turned his head and took a deep look at the disciple in front of him.

In the past, young children would always say "Please teach me, teacher" whenever they encountered a difficult problem.

In the blink of an eye, the boy is no longer there, and has become the gray-haired old man in front of him.

"I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you've grown old."

The old supervisor sighed and then said.

"Don't worry, the teacher will teach you."

"only……"

Seeing that the old supervisor stopped talking in the middle of his words, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Just what? Please explain clearly, teacher."

The old eunuch heard this and shook his head and laughed.

"Just be careful. The teacher can only teach you once this time."

“Whether you can learn it or not, whether you want to learn or not, it all depends on you.”

After finishing speaking, I thought about it and added another sentence.

"No matter what, the teacher doesn't blame you."

"After all, from now on, our clan won't owe the Ji family anything."

The old supervisor's words were quite puzzling and he did not understand them for a moment.

When he understood, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Teacher! No!"

The name of his school is Huang Tian Wu Ji.

Legend has it that if one practices to the highest level, one can use one's body to repair the sky.
