The Art of the Great Sword

Chapter 230 Fighting!

On weekdays, Jiang Shangqing has been in seclusion and rarely comes out to pay attention to the disputes in the outside world. Quite simply, he has been completely discouraged since Jiang Ding seized power.

The elders he had lifted up all stood with Jiang Ding.

No one else, because Jiang Ding said that he could lead this group of elders to Dongzhou for development.

From Jiang Shangqing's point of view, this was undoubtedly ridiculous, but they all believed it and stood clearly on Jiang Ding's side.

From then on, Jiang Shangqing came out to guide Song Rushan whenever he had time to retreat, as if his training had become the most meaningful thing in his life.

As for Jiang Ding, he was just a former rebel, so there was nothing much to say.

But this time, Jiang Shangqing was awakened by the terrifying demonic energy, and a cold murderous intention flashed in his pupils. Could it be that the Yaochi Holy Land was captured by the demon clan?

When he rushed out, many disciples outside heard the movement and looked surprised.

"The old sect leader is out of seclusion!"

"Congratulations to the old sect leader for leaving seclusion!"

All of a sudden, many disciples gathered around him.

Even though Jiang Ding controls all the power in the outside world, there are still some core disciples of Yaochi Holy Land who respect Jiang Shangqing very much.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Shangqing shouted in a deep voice.

"What's going on?"

This group of core disciples were confused.

One of them smiled and said, "Old sect leader, I understand, you are talking about the demonic cloud that overwhelmed the sky before. Indeed, the demonic aura in the back mountain suddenly became strong and powerful, forming a terrifying cloud covering the sky, occupying the sky. A sky!"

"Yes, but they were quickly suppressed by the deputy sect master. It seems that some monsters have sneaked into our Yaochi Holy Land and want to cause trouble."

"Fortunately, the deputy sect leader was very powerful and easily killed those monsters."

These core disciples obviously knew what happened before, but they only knew part of it. They obviously had no access to the back mountain, let alone the existence of the evil spirit.

"No, it's impossible."

Jiang Shangqing slowly shook his head. If it were just a few demon clans that were causing trouble in the Yaochi Holy Land, unless several demon kings from the holy realm arrived together, there would never be such an exaggerated aura of demonic evil.

Others couldn't feel it, but Jiang Shangqing understood very well that the suppressed evil spirit was already expanding crazily.

In the past, he knew that Jiang Ding absorbed the evil spirit, but he was so frustrated that he no longer had any intention to care about it.

He just wants to keep the thousand-year inheritance of Yaochi Holy Land!

As long as Jiang Ding doesn't do too much, he can stay out of it and just be an old man taking care of himself.

He knew Jiang Ding's ambition. Jiang Shangqing couldn't stop it, and he didn't have the strength to stop it. He was better than someone who was good at it, and he was getting old after all.

But this time, Jiang Shangqing realized that things were not that simple.

"You guys, it's best to stay away from Yaochi Holy Land first."

Jiang Shangqing didn't explain it too clearly, so he decided to go and have a look in person.

On the other side, at the treasure house.

When Jiang Ding walked out of it again, he had already emptied the treasure house. He frowned and noticed Jiang Shangqing's magnificent and terrifying aura.

"Jiang Shangqing is out of quarantine?"

Jiang Ding was startled at first, and then sneered. It was normal to say that Jiang Shangqing was the old sect leader of the Yaochi Holy Land. He regarded the Holy Land as a life-like existence. With such a big thing happening outside, it would be strange for him not to come out.

"It's a pity, Master, it's already too late."

Jiang Ding put his hands behind his back, his expression was very playful, but also indifferent to everything.

For him, everything that can be used, even if it is destroyed, he will not feel bad about it.

Jiang Ding sped up and rushed outside. Liu Mu was still waiting in the courtyard when Jiang Ding suddenly broke in and startled her.

After she saw Jiang Ding clearly, she immediately smiled and said, "Husband, how is the situation?"

"There is no need to stay in Yaochi Holy Land."

Jiang Ding spoke concisely and to the point, "I have looted all the rare treasures in the treasure house. In half an hour at most, the uncontrollable evil spirit will burst out. Let's go!"

After saying that, he took Liu Mu's hand and swept out of the Yaochi Holy Land at an extremely fast speed.

In the Holy Land, a large number of disciples thought that the matter was completely settled, but little did they know that the concentration of the suppressed demonic energy in the back mountain was extremely high, and there was only one chance before it would explode.

All of them are outcasts.

"You have been running this Yaochi Holy Land for many years, and you just gave it up like this?"

Liu Mu still couldn't believe it. The significance of Yaochi Holy Land to Jiang Ding was self-evident. Could it be that he didn't want it just because he said he didn't want it?

Jiang Ding smiled and said nothing.

After flying hundreds of miles, Jiang Ding sacrificed a warship from Najie. The two boarded the warship and looked at each other speechlessly.

"Where...are we going?"

Liu Mu asked.

"The Liu Clan cannot go back for the time being. When the age of great struggle comes, this Yin-Yang Sky Cloak will be of great use to me. The Sword Dynasty will not be able to stay any longer. Once the demonic energy breaks out, it will destroy half of the Sword Dynasty. , lives were devastated, and there were countless casualties.”

Jiang Ding stood on the deck with his hands behind his back, with a cold expression on his face, "Fortunately, I have made some arrangements in advance of the Zhou Dynasty. We can go there temporarily and wait for the coming of the great war."

"Why don't you go back to Tianhuo Sect?"

Liu Mu asked back, after many years of management by her, Tianhuo Sect, although not as good as the Holy Land, has also seen the emergence of strong men and geniuses.

Jiang Ding smiled and said, "The Liu Clan's informants are everywhere in Tianhuo Sect. In the coming era of great strife, I want to be alone."

Listening to the words of the man beside him, Liu Mu was a little confused for a moment. He chose to be with him because he had huge potential and had an extremely clear vision of the future. He could stand with her on the main line of the Liu clan. Establish a foothold and gradually become the core.

The development ahead was indeed as she expected. She tried every means to get resources for Jiang Ding. He grew up very quickly and gradually became the feared Prince Jiang in the Sword Dynasty.

Later, through his connections with the royal family, he manipulated the current emperor, which was in line with her vision. However, as time went by, Jiang Ding seemed to be out of control.

Secretly arresting monks to gather essence and blood, cooperating with the demon clan, absorbing the evil spirit... all these things show that Jiang Ding is a very ambitious and independent person.

Until today, he cold-bloodedly abandoned the Yaochi Holy Land and the Sword Dynasty where he was born. For him, anyway, the era of great war is coming, the world is in chaos, and whether the Sword Dynasty is destroyed or not will not affect what will happen in the future.

Now that he was about to escape the control of the Liu Clan, what did he want to do?

Liu Mu had been with him for many years, but at this moment, she couldn't understand him.

When the warship arrived at the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Ding took Liu Mu to live in a suburb near the imperial city in a grand manner. There was a house he had built and a lot of nursing homes here.

The nursing staff didn't know his identity and thought he was just a wealthy man with a certain temperament. They eagerly told him about the recent changes in the Zhou Dynasty.

Jiang Ding narrowed his eyes and nodded while listening.

After leaving the nursing home, he brewed a pot of tea and said calmly, "Zhou Tai was a bit beyond my expectations. I collected information about the Zhou Dynasty back then, but ignored him. Now the dynasty is under his leadership." It’s getting better and better, and it’s about to surpass the Sword Dynasty, but it’s a pity...”

"What's a pity?"

Liu Mu held the cup in both hands and asked.

"It's a pity that the time is too short. If you give him enough time, he can easily surpass the Sword Dynasty. Zhou Tai is a wise king who thinks about his subjects."

Jiang Ding took a sip of tea and said, "According to the time calculation, within a month, the age of great conflict will come and the spiritual energy will revive. The Zhou Dynasty, a small and indifferent place, will instantly become the center of attention of all the powerful people in Dongzhou. A large number of divine orders will be given to them." Princes and princes of the realm are here to compete for the luck of becoming a saint, and even saints are here in person. Many foreign races, including the demon race, will not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "

"The strong ones compete against each other, destroying everything and shaking the heaven and earth. How many more rounds of destruction can this little Zhou Dynasty withstand?"

Jiang Ding raised his hand to dip his hand in the tea and put it on the table. "This is like the Zhou Dynasty. It is extremely small. If someone comes and presses it, it will completely collapse and be vulnerable to a single blow."

Liu Mu nodded but said nothing.

In the next period of time, the Liu clan would send people to the Tianhuo Sect. She originally wanted to join them, but Jiang Ding was unwilling and could only follow him.

"It's coming soon. The day of sanctification is coming soon."

A sharp look flashed in Jiang Ding's eyes.

...

...

Yaochi Holy Land.

Soon after Jiang Ding left, the evil spirit here could no longer be suppressed, and the entire back mountain collapsed in an instant and turned into nothing.

At this time, Jiang Shangqing happened to arrive. When he saw this scene, his eyes were about to split.

The formation that suppressed the gap was destroyed, and a large amount of the pure demonic energy inside was sucked away. The remaining aura was all messy and violent.

Already on the verge of an explosion!

"Jiang Ding, you deserve to die!"

Jiang Shangqing roared angrily, and suddenly rushed into the formation, pressing down with both hands, condensing a large amount of breath to suppress the evil spirit that was about to explode.

Although his own realm has reached the divine realm, due to his age, it will be difficult for him to break through to the holy realm in his lifetime.

After feeling that this wave of energy had exploded, Jiang Shangqing had only one thought left in his mind. If this evil energy was allowed to explode, the entire Yaochi Holy Land would be razed to the ground.

Not only that, together with the dozen or so surrounding cities, they will not be able to withstand the spread of the earth-shattering. One-third of the Sword Dynasty's territory will be reduced to scorched earth.

Jiang Shangqing trembled all over when he thought of that scene.

Regardless of his own safety, he frantically gathered strength to suppress the formation, trying to push back all the demonic energy. But once the demonic energy that had been accumulated for many years broke out, how could it be so easy to take it back?

Following another loud noise, Jiang Shangqing was shaken all over, as if he had been hit in the head by a giant hammer, and he was shaking uncontrollably.

His wrist seemed to be broken in agony, and because the tiger's mouth could not withstand the force, it split open and blood flowed freely.

The demonic energy is about to backfire, and I'm afraid it's irreversible... Thinking of this, Jiang Shangqing gritted his teeth. Jiang Ding, that damn evil beast, clearly knew what was going on here, but he stood idly by and allowed it to develop. .

Jiang Shangqing didn't even think too much. He directly activated his spiritual energy and injected it into the gap, trying desperately to seal the evil spirit.

He was the old sect leader of the Yaochi Holy Land. He worked hard for the development of the Holy Land and had sacrificed a lot. Later, even if he was ignored by Jiang Ding, he had no complaints. He just felt that maybe he should give up his throne to the young people.

Who would have thought that Jiang Ding's ambitions were so exaggerated!

He actually ignored the life and death of Yaochi Holy Land!

"Boom!"

The devastating torrent broke out and rushed outside. Jiang Shangqing was pushed dozens of meters away, but he still clenched his teeth and held on to his body without letting go.

"I have sacrificed everything for the Yaochi Holy Land for so many years. Even if I die today, I have to neutralize this backlash!"

Jiang Shangqing roared. There were too many disciples and too many elders in the Holy Land, including more than a dozen cities outside. There were almost tens of millions of living beings, and they were all innocent.

Once the demonic energy breaks out, they may not even have a chance to escape, and they will be crushed into mist. He cannot let this happen.

"puff!"

There was a soft sound, and a ray of light burst out from it, penetrating Jiang Shangqing's lower abdomen, and blood flowed out. He stood motionless, like a rock.

"With my power as a prince in the Divine Fate Realm, I can engulf and dissolve this demonic aura, and we can still be saved!"

Jiang Shangqing no longer hesitated. He opened his arms completely, using his body as an outlet for the evil spirit and letting it develop.

In just an instant, the demonic energy filled Jiang Shangqing's body, causing his skin to swell up with veins.

Jiang Shangqing was in extreme pain, but he did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forward. He wanted to do his best to protect the Yaochi Holy Land and the people he cared about.

"I come from the royal family of the Sword Dynasty and have been the sect master of the Yaochi Holy Land for hundreds of years... In this life, there is no hope of breaking through and becoming a saint. I have already lived enough. If I can save the Holy Land and save tens of millions of lives in my later years, Even if it means death, I’ll be happy with it!”

Jiang Shangqing's will began to become a little blurry, but he still maintained his body and always blocked the route of the evil spirit.

Gradually, his internal organs were engulfed by the evil spirit, and his skin turned purple.

He remained motionless.

Jiang Shangqing's breathing began to become unconscious, getting slower and slower.

...

...

"What happened in the back mountain?"

"The previous violent shock was like an earthquake!"

"Didn't the demon clan causing trouble get killed?"

"I don't know, let's go take a look!"

Some disciples were full of curiosity and rushed towards the back mountain.

But before they got close, they were pushed away by a torrential force. That was Jiang Shangqing's remaining energy, and he wanted to save the Holy Land by himself.

Many disciples looked at each other and could only feel that the shattered back mountain had been covered by a powerful light. As for what happened in the light, they had no idea.

"Just now I saw the old sect leader rushing in."

"I don't know what happened."

These disciples shook their heads.

A few breaths later, a sound of explosion suddenly came from the back mountain, and then the terrifying air flow spread out in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye. The disciples were so shocked that they vomited blood and flew back. They fell to the ground and did not recover for a long time.

After they got up, they looked up with difficulty, only to see an old figure slowly falling down. He blocked the invasion of all evil spirits, like a majestic mountain, which made people look up.

However, this mountain collapsed.

"Old sect leader!"

I don't know who shouted first, and then many core disciples rushed over quickly, and everyone's heart was tightened.

Jiang Shangqing had already lost all the breath of life, and his skin turned into a purple color, which was the color after being eroded by the evil spirit for a long time.

These disciples were all confused.

Tears kept flowing down.

Feeling the remaining demonic energy in the venue, it was still so violent and raging everywhere. It was only then that they realized what kind of disaster Jiang Shangqing had blocked for them.

...

...

Juetian Mountains.

Fang family.

Fang Qingyang stood in the center of the family and looked around.

The Fang family's strength is constantly growing, and it is much stronger than before. In addition, there are strong men from the Huo family, Murong Jiu, and Jianta branch stationed there. Even the Liu clan cannot shake them.

“This is a good location.”

Fang Qingyang found an open space, took out the Dragon Blood Monument, and placed it in the center.

When the Dragon Blood Monument was placed on the ground, it made a deafening roar, and the terrifying dragon blood energy condensed inside formed a rich aura magnetic field, affecting everything in the four directions.

The Dragon Blood Monument can not only condense the spiritual energy, but also silently improve the Fang family's luck. Over time, the Fang family will definitely become a paradise that everyone envies.

The spiritual energy was so strong that it condensed in the air and even formed a cloud.

After a while, a light rain of spiritual energy began to fall from the clouds. Bathing in it, I felt unprecedentedly comfortable, as if my whole body was soaked in hot spring water.

Many children of the Fang family were surprised by this change. They were enjoying the moistening of the light rain of spiritual energy, and they all showed expressions of enjoyment.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Several figures rushed towards them, led by the elder of the Huo Clan.

"What a terrifying spirit gathering formation. Who painted it?"

The fire elder looked shocked and couldn't help but ask.

But when his eyes fell on the Dragon Blood Monument, he seemed to be stunned for a moment. He was stunned for a long time. After a few breaths, he rushed forward quickly and said, "It is actually a natural stone. The reason why the spiritual energy is condensed is Because of it?"

He stretched out his hand to feel on the dragon blood monument. The power of the dragon blood inside was condensed and not emitted. It was so terrifying that he shouted, "Good stuff, definitely good stuff!"

Seeing Fang Qingyang's smile, the elder became more and more curious and couldn't help but ask, "Where did you find such a treasure?"

"In an ancient ruins, this stone tablet can condense spiritual energy like a formation, so I carried it back."

Fang Qingyang grinned.

The elder of the Huo family stroked his beard and looked surprised, "Not even the Liu family has such a treasure. The development of the Fang family in recent years is really terrifying. If it continues at this rate, it won't be long before it surpasses the Huo family and the Liu family. clan.”

Fang Qingyang chuckled in his heart, does this shock you? The spiritual energy has not yet recovered. Once the spiritual energy recovers and the Heavenly Spiritual Vein is promoted to the Holy Spirit Vein, only then will you understand what the foundation is.

Of course, he didn't say these words.

Any tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

The matter of the Holy Spirit Veins is of great importance.

How long can I hide it?

Soon, the Dragon Blood Monument covered the entire Juetian Mountains, causing the already terrifying spiritual energy to condense again. The combination of the Heavenly Spiritual Veins and the Dragon Blood Monument completely made the Fang Family the largest Cave Heaven Blessed Land in the East Continent.

This was before evolution. Waiting for the Heavenly Spiritual Vein to evolve into the Holy Spirit Vein would be even more remarkable.

"Qingyang!"

Fang Hongye was also attracted by the movement here. He walked from the palace and looked at the huge dragon blood monument. He was full of praise, "Did you bring this back from the ruins outside?"

"That's right, I thought this Dragon Blood Monument was pretty good, so I carried it back on my back."

Fang Qingyang is very happy to be able to help the family improve through his own efforts. This is what he is most happy to do.

Many disciples were practicing, and suddenly their spiritual energy was enhanced by the Dragon Blood Monument, allowing some of them to easily transcend the shackles of the realm and be directly promoted.

For a time, the entire Juetian Mountain Range was immersed in excitement.

Those other branches of the Fang family who had come to seek refuge early were even more grateful that they had made the right choice.

A month passed by in the blink of an eye.

The legendary revival of spiritual energy and the age of great conflict have finally arrived.

On this day, it was early in the morning, and the twilight had just emerged in the east. Along with a deafening roar, the earth in many areas of the Zhou Dynasty shattered out of thin air, and pillars of light condensed with spiritual energy rose into the sky, standing tall on the sky.

A total of eighty-one light pillars pierced the sky from the earth.

At the same time, a strong spiritual energy emitted from these light pillars, and in just the blink of an eye, it spread throughout the Zhou Dynasty.

Many people were horrified to find that the flowers, plants and trees under their feet were growing wildly, as if they had absorbed enough nutrients, and the rate of change was visible to the naked eye.

Then, the spiritual energy turned into starlight and scattered in all directions, and the entire Great Zhou Dynasty became a sea of ​​white light. Wherever it passed, the concentration of spiritual energy increased several times.

When Fang Qingyang woke up, he climbed to the top of the Juetian Mountains and looked into the distance.

The entire Zhou Dynasty was undergoing a drastic change.

"This scene is very similar to how the Juetian Mountains changed back then."

Fang Qingyang couldn't help but sigh. After the Juetian Mountain Range was injected with the Tianling Vein, it also experienced a huge change. The originally huge mountain range expanded several times, and countless Blood Spirit Stones were everywhere.

However, this time the changes are even bigger!

In the jungle, in the mountain stream, in the river...a large number of monsters greedily absorbed this spiritual energy, as if a person who was about to die of thirst finally found a source of water.

As the light of spiritual energy was absorbed into the bodies of these monsters, their bodies began to expand rapidly. In just the blink of an eye, they expanded several times.

Monsters over a hundred meters high are everywhere.

This scene shocked everyone's hearts.

Most of the people were confused and at a loss. They had no idea what was going on, but the monks who had known the inside story for a long time had longing in their eyes. The age of great strife was finally here.

In the next period of time, some of the luck of sainthood will be released in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Anyone who can obtain it will definitely be promoted to the holy realm.

That's why countless people are fighting for it!
