The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

A fierce wind was approaching, and Fang Xun had only time to use the "Twelve Secrets of Bodhisattva" to create a ray of golden light to protect his body. The next moment, Gu Wen's gun hit him right in the back!
boom--

Fang Xun was smashed to the ground heavily. Yan Guiren didn't want to give him time to breathe. He swung the Gu Wen Spear and hit Fang Xun on the top of his head!
At the critical moment, Buddhist music suddenly echoed in the void, and a golden lotus blossomed, sheltering Fang Xun inside.

The twelve evils of bodhisattva are all empty.

boom--

Gu Wen hit the surface of the golden lotus, and Yan Guiren immediately felt a terrifying recoil force, spurting blood. Gu Wen's gun tip and body were involuntarily blown hundreds of feet away.

However, Fang Xun took the initiative and took advantage of the situation. The pair of swords in his hands merged into one again, turning into a big axe.

As the axe was silently swung out, darkness descended again, revealing the original chaos of the universe. It was the vast restoration of the universe - the blow that opened up the sky!
In the darkness, the axe light flashed, illuminating the world again.

With a "whoosh" sound, the axe blade penetrated an inch into Yan Guiren's flesh!
But after penetrating an inch deeper, the opponent's body was not split into two as Fang Xun expected. Fang Xun's eyes changed, and he clenched the five fingers of his other hand without hesitation, and punched Yan Guiren in the chest again without reservation.

boom--

Yan Guiren groaned in pain, but there was only an unyielding fighting spirit in his eyes as he looked into Fang Xun's eyes. He immediately slammed his head into Fang Xun's cheek.

boom--

Fang Xun felt a sharp pain on his cheek, blood flowed, and his vision became blurred.

He subconsciously wanted to pull out the axe and retreat, but he found that Wanxiang was stuck in Yan Guiren's chest. He pulled it and it didn't move at all. He immediately thought to himself that he was in trouble.

Just after Yan Guiren hit him with the head, the seriously injured and dying body suddenly "re-energized" with divine power!
The qi, blood and true essence that had already fallen to the bottom suddenly erupted again like a volcano.

With a whoosh, the spear head that was flying not far away flipped over and fell back into his hand. In an instant, the spear tip spun rapidly again, bringing up a golden-red flame and stabbing towards Fang Xun's chest.

Swallow Soaring——

In the face of the crisis, Fang Xun let go of Wanxiang without hesitation and retreated frantically.

But Gu Wen's spear was like a thorn in his flesh, following him closely, like a golden-red drill surrounded by flames, determined to rip him open!
In the split second between life and death, Fang Xun saw a burst of golden light, and then he saw the holy robe of Kadi suddenly put on his body, and golden Sanskrit words flew out to form a barrier in front of him.

laugh--

A sharp friction sound that made people's teeth ache was heard, and the Sanskrit barrier was seen to block the tip of Gu Wen's gun tightly. Fang Xun's body was swept by the gun tip and flew backwards rapidly.

The earth along the way was shattered, the mountains collapsed, and blood kept flowing out of Fang Xun's mouth.

And the next moment, Yan Guiren's blood-stained figure also caught up. The axe transformed by Wanxiang was still stuck in his chest, adding a bit of tragic momentum to the blood-stained god of war.

The severe pain swept over him like a tide, but Yan Guiren didn't even frown. He thrust the spear in his hand forward suddenly, and with a click, it instantly connected with the spear head.

With a loud bang, under the tremendous force stimulated by the divine power, the Sanskrit barrier was finally shattered!
Just as Gu Wen was about to pierce his chest, Fang Xun's pupils suddenly shrank into needle tips, and all the things embedded in Yan Guiren suddenly flashed with light.

Puff——Puff——

Then two sounds of penetrating the flesh were heard, and the world fell silent again, and the two people in the field also stopped.

Tick-tick-tick-

Fang Xun lowered his head and saw that Gu Wen's gun had pierced his chest, crushing his heart and lungs in an instant, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then, he raised his head with difficulty and met those eyes that seemed to never show timidity, cowardice and fear.

“It’s a tie this time.”

And at this moment, Yan Guiren's cold face actually showed a hint of smile.

"No, you won."

As soon as he opened his mouth, blood could not stop flowing out. Looking at his body again, he was found to be pierced from the inside out by seven black spiked crystals, like a sieve.

At the moment when Gu Wen pierced Fang Xun's chest, Wanxiang also transformed into seven sharp-thorn Broken Cloud Stones that crushed Yan Guiren's internal organs.

After the bloodstained god of war said his last words, his body turned into foam and disappeared.

Fang Xun looked at the deceased Yan Guiren in silence, his eyes full of respect.

The will of the Yan Gui people is unshakable. No matter what kind of powerful opponent they face or what kind of adversity they are in, they will not be afraid or discouraged. Instead, they will become stronger when facing a stronger opponent, and they will burst out with the power to create miracles time and time again.

"You are. a. worthy opponent."

After saying a few words in a halting manner, Fang Xun could no longer hold on. Darkness filled his eyes and his body lost all life.

In the training ground, Fang Xun opened his eyes in confusion. After taking a deep breath, his eyes gradually regained clarity.

'Absorb Yan Guiren's martial arts memories and insights.'

Soon, a large amount of information came into Fang Xun's mind and was received one by one.

The strength of the opponent Yan Guiren cannot be calculated based on the information on paper.

If it is just a competition of martial arts, there are many people who can defeat him, but if it is a life-and-death fight, even if the opponent is a level stronger than Yan Guiren, there is a great possibility that he will be defeated.

Fang Xun felt this even more deeply after he died together with him.

Soon two quarters of an hour passed, and all of Yan Guiren's lifelong insights into martial arts were received by Fang Xun.

He gathered his thoughts and looked towards the sixth door, only to see a new name had already appeared.

[Xiao Sanxiao, Zhenwu realm, from "Feng Yun", to be defeated] Fang Xun looked at the name and began to recall some information from the original work.

Xiao Sanxiao was born in the pre-Qin period of Emperor Huangdi. He encountered a divine tortoise, one of the four divine beasts. He took the tortoise's blood and gained an immortal body. During his prosperous years, he witnessed the ups and downs of the world and understood the changes of life and death.

By the time of Fengyun, he was already over four thousand years old, two thousand years older than Indra.

However, his strength is not like that of the fake Emperor Indra, and can be said to be unfathomable.

Fang Xun recalled this information, but in the end he didn't know what he thought of. He looked at Xiao Sanxiao's name with disdain and sneered, then left the martial arts hall.

At the same time, in the north of Central Plains, Tie Wuxin and Zhen Yangzi looked at the telescope in front of them with unusually heavy expressions.

The two rushed at night, but halfway through they sensed a change in the world. They took out the telescope to contact the capital, but no one responded.

But Tie Wuxin and Zhen Yangzi still held on to a last glimmer of hope in their hearts, but not long after, Wan Pingchuan took the initiative to contact them, which confirmed their association that the capital had been destroyed.

After putting away the telescope, the two of them walked on the official road, feeling a little absent-minded. Tie Wuxin took a deep breath and said, "I am going to Yongzhou to meet up with His Highness. I wonder if you will come with me?"

After Wan Pingchuan and his group escaped, Prime Minister Wei Qingping suggested that they go to Yongzhou to seek help from the Academy of Scholars. The Academy of Scholars would definitely not sit idly by in such a matter.

Moreover, the palace of Prince Yong, one of the Six Princes, is also in Yongzhou, which makes it suitable to be used as a temporary seat of government.

The most urgent task is to stabilize people's hearts as soon as possible and establish a legitimate status while all the evildoers in the world are ready to make moves.

Although the capital's central area was destroyed, it was not the worst yet. As long as they acted quickly, there was still a chance of recovery.

But no matter what, it is foreseeable that local forces will gradually grow stronger once they lose the suppression of the central government.

Tie Wuxin also understood this. He looked at Zhen Yangzi with a hint of pleading and expectation, hoping that the other party could go to Yongzhou with him.

Faced with such a look, Zhen Yangzi seemed unable to bear to look at it, so he turned his head and sighed.

"I'm sorry to disappoint Brother Tie. After I integrate the surviving disciples within the sect, I will set off for Jiangnan. You and I will part ways here."

Tie Wuxin's eyes flashed with deep disappointment, but he still forced a smile and said, "Everyone has their own aspirations. I understand. I just hope that after today's farewell, we can still drink and chat happily next time we meet again, Taoist priest."

"Brother Tie, let's say goodbye now. Have a safe journey."

Zhen Yangzi sighed again, bowed and said goodbye, then turned into a stream of light and flew away.
Tie Wuxin watched the other party disappear into the horizon, a hint of bitterness appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he also left and rushed towards Yongzhou.

Yue Wangfu.

Old Wu looked at Wan Pingchuan, Wei Qingping and Eunuch Qi in the mirror and bowed.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me.

The prince is in seclusion to break through the bottleneck of Zhenwu, and the marquis also received an urgent report from the border and set off to Hongfengkou to take charge.

Master Bai had already left for the capital a few days ago, and he is probably on his way back to Jiangnan after receiving the news."

Old Wu looked at the expressions of Wan Pingchuan and the other two, and directly changed his words to "Your Majesty". Sure enough, he saw a hint of satisfaction flash across Wan Pingchuan's face.

When Wan Pingchuan saw that the three main people were not there, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly recovered and comforted them with a warm smile.

"They are all my loyal subjects, what crime have they committed?
Jiangnan has prospered under the rule of the imperial sister, but unfortunately, the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes. The disaster in the capital has made people all over the country uneasy. Jiangnan still needs the imperial sister and Lin Chuanhou to stay in charge, so that all the villains dare not make any moves!"

Then Eunuch Qi at the side took out an imperial edict and spread it out. Old Wu immediately bowed his head to show respect, and immediately heard the other party's shrill recitation.

"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict: I rule the country with culture and suppress rebellions with force, and the military commanders are the pillars of the court and the pillars of the country.

The royal family member Wan Zhaoning is capable of both civil and military affairs, so I hereby appoint him as the General of Zhennan to control the military and political affairs of the eight states in the south of the Yangtze River!"

The imperial decree was issued on May 17, the first year of Emperor Pingzong’s reign.

When Old Wu heard this, his heart skipped a beat, but he tried hard to suppress the ecstasy in his heart and not show it on his face.

However, a trace of gloom flashed across Wan Pingchuan's eyes. After Eunuch Qi finished reading the imperial edict, he spoke up and said, "Since the imperial sister and Lord Lin Chuan are not here, you will take over and pass on the edict!"

Old Wu then raised his head and said, "I will obey your majesty's order!"

Wan Pingchuan nodded, as if he didn't want to say anything more, and the image in the telescope suddenly became blurry.

Not to mention Old Wu, who finally stopped suppressing his ecstatic expression after the bronze mirror was restored.

Wan Pingchuan's face was no longer smiling warmly, but suddenly darkened. He turned to Wei Qingping and asked, "Prime Minister, do you really want to do this? If you let the princes take over the military and political power, I'm afraid it will become too big to be controlled!"

Wei Qingping sighed and said, "I know that, but even if we don't do this, will they be obedient?

If they are not appeased with some sweet benefits, it is possible that those vassal kings will directly raise their own flags and establish their own states.

If someone takes this lead, it will trigger a series of chain reactions with disastrous consequences.

The problem of the tail being too big to be removed can only be dealt with slowly in the future."

Wei Qingping was well aware of the hidden dangers, but now that the capital was destroyed, he and Eunuch Qi were the only Zhenwu masters left in the court. His strength was greatly weakened and he could no longer suppress the local area.

Although they will become too powerful to be eliminated, the imperial court can still use the power of the vassal kings to re-establish the majesty of the imperial court and let the world know that the five vassal kings still listen to the imperial court.

Even if it is just a fig leaf in name only, it must be maintained.

If this fig leaf is torn off, the whole world will rebel and fight for supremacy, and there will be no way to save the situation!
Wan Pingchuan felt unwilling to hear this, but he could only be furious. (End of this chapter)
