At the beginning of Niujia Village, my sister-in-law and I depended on each other.

The peaks and mountains are like gatherings, the waves are like fury, and the mountains and rivers are like Tongguan Road.

In the misty rain, the majestic pass stands tall, surrounded by high clouds, and the soil on the ground is all scarlet.

Niu Dingtian was riding the Divine Eagle, and just as he approached the sky above Tongguan, a strong smell of blood rushed into his nose and went straight to his forehead.

He knew that this was the smell left by the two armies fighting for half a month.

Even if it is raining and windy at this moment, it will not be possible to dispel the smell that has penetrated deep into the soil of Tongguan in a short period of time.

"It's the Divine Condor! There's someone on it!"

"Someone's coming from Xiangyang!"

Below, there were flags flying everywhere and tents everywhere, and the one shouting was Han Baoju.

He and Zhu Cong were both wearing iron armor, their bodies covered in blood, and together with their eldest brother Ke Zhen'e, they followed Guo Jing to check on the wounded in the camp.

Hearing Han Baoju's cry, the surrounding soldiers all looked up at the sky.

Before the giant eagle in the sky swooped down, a shadow suddenly landed in front of the central military tent, facing Guo Jing's position, holding a sword and staring at him.

Looking at the young man in the python robe who suddenly appeared, the soldiers in the camp were subconsciously stunned for a moment, and then they all knelt on one knee, clasped their fists and shouted:

"Your Majesty, a thousand years old!"

"Your Majesty, a thousand years old!"

"Your Majesty, a thousand years old!"

……

The shouts were like waves, one higher than the other, and gradually spread to the entire ten-mile camp.

Niu Ben, Niu Kui, Hu Zaixing and Liu Fengchun, four generals in armor and holding sharp weapons, who rushed over after hearing the noise, were excited and knelt down without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Huang Yaoshi, who was standing by, twisted his dark eyebrows together, hesitated for a moment, and then knelt down to salute with a solemn expression.

Mei Chaofeng, the disciple behind him, was dressed in iron armor and a silver helmet, and was dressed in men's clothes. Seeing her master's actions, she naturally did not dare to act rashly.

And Ke Zhenwu, holding a stick and tilting his head, would kneel to heaven, to the earth, and to his parents, and would never bow his head.

But when he thought that his life was saved by that person, wasn't it like having another parent? He knelt down under the pull of his second and third brothers.

"This feeling is indeed incomparable to the people in the martial arts world." Niu Dingtian stood with his sword in hand, looking around, and thought to himself.

At this moment, no matter how lazy he was, he couldn't suppress the lofty ambitions rising in his heart, and he also had the idea of ​​leading his soldiers personally to compete for the world and intimidate the barbarians.

It’s a pity...Noda’s family business doesn’t even have an heir.

"Drive out the Tartars!"

"Restore China!"

Niu Dingtian shouted in a deep voice.

Although he was in the center of the army, his shout was like the sound of thunder, spreading to every corner of the camp.

"Drive out the Tartars!"

"Restore China!"

"Drive out the Tartars!"

"Restore China!"

……

The people in the camp also raised their fists and shouted excitedly as he shouted.

Niu Dingtian raised his hand, and the shouting stopped abruptly. He said in a deep voice: "Conserve your energy today! Tomorrow, the king will personally lead you to conquer Tongguan!"

"Conquer Tongguan!"

"Conquer Tongguan!"

"Conquer Tongguan!"

……

Amid the shouts, Niu Dingtian pressed his sword, turned around and walked into the tent.

Huang Yaoshi, Guo Jing, Niu Ben, Niu Kui, Hu Zaixing, and Liu Fengchun stood up and followed him in.

In the tent
Niu Dingtian sat down on the coach's desk without hesitation, stared at Huang Yaoshi, and said, "Please tell me about the current situation, father-in-law."

In the past, seeing Old Taishan saluting him, he might have felt a little bit of pleasure in his heart, but when he thought that they might be parting forever, he no longer had that feeling.

Huang Yaoshi's face was as stern as before, but he had been busy with military and political affairs for more than half a year, and there was a lot more fatigue between his brows.

Looking at the young man in the python robe on the table, Huang Yaoshi said in a deep voice: "Nowadays, there are Jin-Mongol coalition forces in Tongguan, but in fact, it has long been controlled by the Mongols. Only one tenth of the Jin territory in the north remains, and most of it is occupied by the Mongols."

"Who is the commander of Tongguan?"

Niu Dingtian frowned and asked.

"Temujin!"

Huang Yaoshi said in a deep voice.

"Temüjin?" Niu Dingtian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

He received news half a year ago that this guy was poisoned by the snake venom left by Yang Kang. Although it was cured by Ouyang Feng, he still claimed to be sick after recovering from his injuries.

Didn't want to come out so soon.

Seeing his son-in-law was silent, Huang Yaoshi said, "After learning about him half a month ago, I also used the promise you made to invite Brother Duan and Brother Qi to go together to assassinate him."

"But the enemy has been surrounding us with crossbow arrays all day long and never left the army. The three of us tried to attack three times, but we had to retreat in the end."

"Brother Duan and Brother Qi once said that if anyone could take his head amidst ten thousand soldiers, it would be you."

After saying this, Huang Yaoshi looked at Niu Dingtian quietly.

For more than half a year, he had been following the army and displaying his talents, and he was always successful. However, in front of the grassland leader, neither his soft nor hard tactics were effective.

At this moment, he couldn't help but admire his son-in-law's original vision.

At this time, Niu Ben took over the conversation and said with a fist: "The Mongolians are fearless and even far superior to our army. In the past half month, both sides have suffered losses."

"But the prince's appearance just now has boosted the morale of our army tenfold. It will be no problem for us to capture Tongguan tomorrow!"

Niu Dingtian smiled without saying anything. His eyes swept across the resolute faces of Niu Ben, Niu Kui, Hu Zaixing, and Liu Fengchun, and finally landed on Guo Jing, who was wearing black gold armor. He suddenly said:
"I have promoted Guo Jing to deputy commander and general of Tiance Mansion. Are you dissatisfied?"

"We dare not!" The four of them were stunned for a moment, and then clasped their fists in unison.

"Don't dare, or don't have it?" Niu Dingtian asked indifferently.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the tent froze.

Even Huang Yaoshi couldn't help but look at his son-in-law in surprise.

Guo Jing was about to speak, but Niu Dingtian raised his hand to stop him and said calmly:
"This is a decision I made after careful consideration. If I am not around in the future, Guo Jing will be the leader of the Northern Expedition Army."

"You are all my true confidants. If you have any doubts, you can take off your armor today and stay in the Divine Religion to serve in the future to avoid embarrassment."

Niu Ben knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, and clasped his fists and said: "I am the owner's man in life and his ghost in death! As long as this order is given by the owner himself, no matter whether I obey it or not, I will execute it until my death!"

Niu Kui also knelt down, clasped his fists and said, "As long as it is the owner's words, Niu Kui swears to execute them until his death!"

The two of them now called him "Master of the Manor", but regarded themselves as retainers.

Upon seeing this, Hu Zaixing and Liu Fengchun also knelt down and clasped their fists.

Liu Fengchun said in a deep voice: "Liu Fengchun is still the Liu Fengchun in the dilapidated temple! If one day I forget the kindness of the prince for the sake of power, I will die like Elder Peng that day!"

Niu Dingtian remained silent upon hearing this. He lowered his eyes and stared at the table. His face was as calm as water, and no one could tell what he was thinking.

Guo Jing below was already moved to tears, he knelt on the ground and said, "Uncle Master..."

"Everyone go down and prepare well. Follow me to break the city tomorrow morning." Niu Dingtian said softly after a long silence.

……

At night, in the tent

The flames in the square brazier were burning fiercely, reflecting the two figures toasting each other beside the table.

Huang Yaoshi put down his wine bowl and sighed, "I have never understood why you have such a huge fortune and you just let it go?"

Niu Dingtian smiled and said, "Some things require me to travel far away, and I don't know when I can return."

"So you are worried about them?" Huang Yaoshi asked with a frown.

"Arrogant soldiers and brave generals will always change their hearts." Niu Dingtian shook his head, picked up the wine jar, filled it for Lao Taishan, and said:
"Will you believe it, father-in-law? If I don't come back for ten, twenty, or thirty years, when I come back, they will all be local lords. Once power is involved, no one will hesitate." "If there are people who remain true to their original aspirations, I don't know about others, but Guo Jing must be one of them."

"But he is not even twenty yet!"

Huang Yaoshi did not ask Niu Dingtian where he was going or when he would return, thinking how long he could stay away for. Instead, he expressed his concerns.

Niu Dingtian sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "So I have to ask my father-in-law for help!"

"In fact, I don't care about the gain or loss of power, but it's a pity to destroy the Mongolian cause."

"If your father-in-law ever thinks Guo Jing is hopeless, you can establish yourself as king if you have the will!"

"boom!"

"What did you say!"

Huang Yaoshi smashed the wine bowl on the table, splashing the two people with wine, and said with a sullen face:
"Who do you think I am? If it weren't for Rong'er, I wouldn't even bother to take care of your little piece of land!"

This is not just a small piece of land. If we take it a step further, we can establish a state.

Niu Dingtian thought silently and suddenly felt a little bored.

"I promised my father-in-law that I would help you and Master Yideng enter the Xiantian realm."

“But if I force myself to improve my consciousness, I’m afraid I won’t be able to make any progress in this lifetime.”

"Rong'er has some insights I left behind. When you have time, go back and get them, father-in-law."

After saying this, Niu Dingtian drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, then stood up and left the tent.

Huang Yaoshi suddenly felt a little regretful. This kid's words and actions today were strange, and he should have questioned him earlier.

……

Early the next morning

At dawn, the horn sounded, and the Northern Expedition Army gathered and slowly approached Tongguan.

As the majestic pass came into view, dark clouds appeared in the sky, seeming to be brewing terror.

Niu Dingtian was wearing a black python robe, holding a sword in his left hand, and sitting upright on a horse.

Looking back at the flying flags that blocked out the sky behind him, he said to Guo Jing:

"No matter what happens later, just lead the troops to attack, don't delay!"

After saying that, the figure flashed into the air ahead.

Just as a terrifying aura burst out from his body, a white light across the sky and earth, like skylight, condensed and shot towards the top of the city a hundred feet away.

The terrifying power within was so great that even the void seemed to tremble.

"boom--"

Under the horrified gaze of more than 300,000 soldiers, Tongguan collapsed.

At the same time, above the sky, a world-destroying thunder suddenly condensed and struck Niu Dingtian without any warning.

"Open it for me!" The Yitian sword came out, danced lightly, and the sword light attacked forward.

Below——

Guo Jing was stunned for a moment before he remembered what his uncle had just told him.

He quickly drew the Dragon Slaying Sword from his waist, raised the sword and looked back, shouting: "All troops, listen to my orders! Follow me and kill!"

"Uuuuuu——"

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

……

The sound of trumpets, charging, and neighing of war horses rushed towards the broken Tongguan like a vast wave.

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Master!"

"The owner of the village!"

……

Just as the thunder dissipated, a crack in the void was created by Niu Dingtian with all his might.

From below came the sad cries of Chen Jiner, Miss Huang, Han Xiaoying, and Niu Qianer.

The beauties, with tears on their cheeks, abandoned their horses and rushed here in the charging army.

Seeing a feeling of palpitations suddenly rising, Niu Dingtian extended his divine sense, decisively locked onto a breath in Tongguan City, and threw out the Yitian sword in his hand.

“I will come back!!”

With a shout, he threw himself directly into the crack of the void.

"The Khan is dead!"

"The Khan is dead!"

"Master!"

"The owner of the village!"

……

As the shouts in his ears gradually weakened until they disappeared completely, Niu Dingtian lost consciousness.

-

The dark clouds dispersed, and the sun rose, illuminating the blood-stained ruins.

Guo Jing pulled out the sword that was stuck in Temujin's chest, looked up at the sky, but he could no longer see the figure.

Thinking of the past, everything seemed unreal at this moment. He couldn't help but kneel down in the ruins with tears in his eyes.

half year later

After the fall of the Jin Dynasty, Guo Jing still led the Northern Expedition Army and fought a stalemate with the Mongolian army in the north.

The former Jiugong Mountain seemed to have been deserted overnight.

Chen Jiner left, Miss Huang left, Han Xiaoying also left... No one knew where the former newlyweds had gone.

Only Mu Nianci came to Zhong Nanshan one night with a weak body.

in a few days

Li Mochou was wearing an apricot-yellow dress and had a cold face as she stood on the martial arts field in Jiugong Mountain.

However, apart from a few people guarding the mountain, she searched like crazy for a long time but did not see the person she wanted to see.

"Why? Why?" Li Mochou looked at the empty courtyard and cried.

"Master said that you don't have Mochou in your heart, but Mochou doesn't believe it..."

She felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world. She betrayed her master at all costs, but got this result.

That night, hateful voices echoed throughout the mountain top, and no one was left on Jiugong Mountain.

Now, the name of the Red Snake Fairy that appeared out of nowhere has caused a complete sensation in the world!
When Guo Jing, who was busy with the war in the north, heard the news, he naturally became furious.

Without asking any questions, I will kill all the unfaithful men in the world!

He personally searched several times, but not only did he fail to find the person, but he also let him commit several more murders.

Amidst this turmoil, three years passed in the blink of an eye.

The war in the north remains stalemated, and the Sun-Moon Divine Sect seems to have been gradually forgotten.

Deep in Kunlun Mountains in the Western Regions, a sect called Mingjiao began to rise.

——The Legend of the Condor Heroes is finished!

Volume 2: In this life, he suddenly appeared out of nowhere with extraordinary martial arts skills! Regardless of whether he is good or evil, he only wants to find a way back.
