The escort team meandered towards the east.
They traveled for five days.
They finally left the Fire Beacon Empire and arrived at an uninhabited wilderness. This was the border between the Fire Beacon Empire and the Blazing Sun Empire, a buffer zone.
The mountains were fertile, dotted with a few scattered villages. The mountains were tall and the forests were dense. Clear streams flowed through, withered vines accompanied old trees, and wild beasts roamed about.
In these five days of traveling, Princess Mo Hen's retainers and Nangong Ye's army lived in harmony.
Well water did not interfere with river water.
But in the peace, danger was brewing.
It was like the eve of a storm.
In these few days, Xiao Han only focused on cultivating and kept a low profile. He even hid in a large carriage and was completely alone.
However, in these days, Xiao Han discovered that several groups of True Qi Realm martial artists had come to investigate. Fortunately, Nangong Ye dealt with them.
And Xiao Han's disguise was very good. There were no flaws to be found.
In a large carriage.
Black curtains blocked the light, causing Xiao Han to be in complete darkness.
Xiao Han sat cross-legged, silently circulating his Xuan Qi.
At this time, every pore on Xiao Han's body was flashing with golden light. Below his skin, there was a surging sound like a tide.
His eyelids lifted slightly, and his eyes emitted the feeling of a blazing sun.
"Repeatedly visualizing the 41st to 50th movement of the Indestructible Golden Body has greatly nourished my flesh. Moreover, the more I practice this Indestructible Golden Body, the more mystical it becomes …" Xiao Han's thoughts flashed.
"The 41st to 50th movements of the Indestructible Golden Body are much more complicated and profound than the previous 40 movements. There are many obstacles when visualizing them. However, once I've mastered them, the bones in my body actually show signs of transforming into golden bones …"
Xiao Han looked inside himself.
He discovered that the flawless bones in his body that seemed to be carved out of white jade were actually glowing with a golden color.
It was as if they were plated with a layer of golden powder, shining brightly.
Moreover, on the surface of the golden bones, there were some indistinct bone runes.
Every time he visualized the movements of the Indestructible Golden Body, the golden color of the bones became a bit deeper and the bone runes became a bit deeper.
"Now, the 100 movements of the Indestructible Golden Body have been practiced halfway. Even the bones are gradually changing.
Those bone runes.
I can vaguely understand what's so special about it. When the flesh shell is attacked by the enemy, it directly absorbs a portion of the enemy's strength and transforms it into its own flesh shell's strength! "Xiao Han nodded slightly.
"Senior Brother Fang once said that.
It was impossible for a mortal's body to possess too much power, or it would explode.
For most people, a few hundred Cauldrons of force was their limit when tempering their physical body.
There would be no more breakthroughs.
At that time, he would try to break through the acupoints and cultivate his True Qi.
However, I have refined the Indestructible Golden Body to this place.
His flesh shell already far exceeded that of an ordinary person, comparable to a savage beast. His bones turned golden, producing profound and mystical bone texts.
Breaking the shackles would allow his body to be tempered into an even more tyrannical strength!
Don't worry about your body exploding! "
"Weng ~ ~ Weng ~ ~ ~ ~"
Golden bone runes appeared one after another.
Under Xiao Han's will, it appeared on his skin, overflowing with light and vibrant colors. It was dazzling and had an ancient feel to it, making Xiao Han look like an ancient golden god. It was no small matter.
"From now on, as long as I persevere in cultivating the Indestructible Golden Body and activate the golden bone runes when I'm attacked by the enemy, the strength of my physical body would increase without end!
Of course, if I were to bear too much power all at once, I would also turn into ashes. "
"Son of Heaven's Divine Fist Fifth Form, Monarch Wants Your Minister to Die."
"Son of Heaven's Divine Fist, emphasis on momentum and not on technique.
This move, Monarch Wants Your Minister to Die, is also a kind of momentum.
It is a kind of tyrannical momentum that looks down on the world. The essence of this move is that a punch will greatly weaken the opponent's defense.
It will disintegrate the opponent's fighting spirit and even cause the opponent to hallucinate.
If the Monarch wants his minister to die, the minister has no choice but to die! "
"As for the Seven Fragment Saber Art's third form, Intent Shattering Form, it is a little difficult to comprehend.
This form can only be practiced by a saber user who has comprehended the saber intent.
Moreover, this form is not simple. It is a saber intent that shatters one's self … It has a kind of concept from 'having a saber' to 'not having a saber'.
When the saber intent shatters and is reborn, what will be born? "
Xiao Han was temporarily unable to comprehend the Intent Shattering Form.
Moreover, being in this state, he did not dare to reveal any traces of being a saber user. He also did not dare to release his saber intent and shatter the saber intent.
"I have already grasped the doorway to the first fifty moves of the Indestructible Golden Body and the fifth form of the Son of Heaven's Divine Fist, Monarch Wants Your Minister to Die. However, the Intent Shattering Form still requires a period of time to slowly comprehend. One step at a time, haste makes waste."
"In addition, my true qi cultivation has already reached the peak of the first level and opened ten meridians.
Right now, I need to work hard to open the eleventh true meridian and reach the second level of true qi.
However, the eleventh true meridian is a bottleneck.
It cannot be easily opened.
However, once it is opened, it will be a great path. "
Xiao Han opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. He turned around and mounted a dragon horse, still wearing a black cloak.
"Mister Yun, we are currently at the border between the Beacon Fire Empire and the Blazing Sun Empire. In a few days, we will be able to enter the territory of the Blazing Sun Empire." Hu Chenghe smiled and said to Xiao Han.
Xiao Han had risked his life to stand up for Princess Mo Hen, injuring Nangong Ye's Deputy General Zhang Heng. This caused all of Princess Mo Hen's retainers to admire and admire Xiao Han.
Now, they completely regarded Xiao Han as one of their own.
"The Blazing Sun Empire?" Xiao Han was surprised.
"Yes, the Blazing Sun Empire, one of the seven great empires of the Southern Domain. It has a population of over twenty billion, and its national strength is several times greater than the Beacon Fire Empire." Hu Chenghe said in a low voice.
"Mister Yun, although this old man is not a Fiend Hero, I have heard that the number of Fiends in the Blazing Sun Empire is several times that of the Beacon Fire Empire.
According to ancient legends, below the group of immortals are the Fiends, and below the Fiends are all living beings.
Although this old man has never seen an immortal, and does not know if there are any immortals in this world who cannot die, the Fiends are indeed the most tyrannical existences in the Zhen Wu Continent.
To put it simply, how to evaluate the strength of a sect, or even a country, is to look at the number of Fiends in that sect or country. "
"Yes, Senior Hu, the Blazing Sun Empire has many Fiends, right?" Xiao Han said with a smile.
"Yes, not only are there a lot of them, but there are also many outstanding Fiends.
For example, the famous' Great Sun Emperor ',' Dragon Bone Saint Blade ',' One Page Golden Book ', and so on. All of them are supreme experts who dominate a region.
Killing the Fiends is as easy as drinking water and eating rice. "
Hu Chenghe said with a face full of admiration. Then, he pouted at the front of the group with an indignant expression and said in a low voice.
"Although Nangong Ye is also a Fiend, he is a second-rate Fiend.
He only knows how to act like a tyrant in a small place like the Beacon Fire Empire. He is not even ranked on the Fiend Hero Ranking … "
"The Great Sun Emperor and the Dragon Bone Saint Blade are in the Blazing Sun Empire?" Xiao Han's heart twitched slightly.
These were all invincible figures who swore to kill Xiao Han!
Xiao Han had seen the Great Sun Emperor once in the Western Domain. Later on, he had seen him a second time in the Setting Sun Mountain Range when they surrounded the North Mystic Demon Emperor and fought against Demon Emperor Qing Lin.
He was indeed a supreme expert with the dignity of a god.
His combat power surpassed that of Senior Brother Fang Ling and Senior Brother Dongfang Qin.
"Mister Yun, there's no need to worry. Although the Blazing Sun Empire is powerful and prosperous, it's not to the extent of making it difficult for Her Highness Princess Mo Hen's wedding procession." When Hu Chenghe heard Xiao Han's tone change, he promptly consoled him.
…
…
…
The long snake-like welcoming team arrived at a mountain range in the distance.
Dozens of sneaky men were crouching on a hill.
Holding his breath and focusing his energy, he stared fixedly at the welcoming party. His eyes were filled with greed and passion.
"Brothers, it's the wedding procession of the Beacon Fire Empire's princess.
Tsk tsk, even from a hundred miles away, I can still feel the pure waves of True Qi.
It was a top-grade true qi spirit stone!
A top-grade True Qi Spirit Stone without any impurities! "A bearded man swallowed his saliva.
Another pointy-faced man pointed with his finger. "According to my experience, there are at least ten large chariots.
It's filled with high-quality True Qi Spirit Stones! "
It was a woman in her thirties. She was extremely beautiful and charming, but she had a pair of triangular eyes.
It was very unappetizing.
"Tsk … The marriage of the Beacon Fire Empire's princess is naturally grand.
The dowry is frighteningly plentiful. "
Another short man with an extremely valiant expression said.
"The Beacon Fire Empire has been in the Southern Region for countless years. Their foundation is more abundant than many large sects. Wouldn't it be a great loss of face if the dowry of the princess is not enough?
Apart from the top-grade True Qi Spirit Stones, the other dowry also makes people envious.
Medicinal herbs, jewelry, pills, which one of them isn't priceless? "
"Tsk tsk … Look at those servant girls. Each of them is so beautiful … Wow!
I'm afraid those servant girls are not even sixteen years old. They are so tender … I'm dying of greed! "A white-clothed young man's eyes glowed with golden light as he swallowed his saliva.
"There's no need to say anything about the princess!
She must be as beautiful as a fairy!
Otherwise, let's do it!
I don't want spirit stones, medicinal herbs, or pills!
I only want the princess and those beautiful little servant girls! "
"Da Ximao, shut up!
Don't stop when you see a woman.
The news of the Beacon Fire Empire's princess marrying far away had spread like wildfire in the Southern Region. How many people were eyeing the princess' dowry?
But who would dare to do it?
Let me tell you, the one escorting the princess this time is a hero from the Beacon Fire Empire's imperial family, Nangong Ye. This person cultivates the Grand True Energy of Burning Heaven and is extremely powerful. With a wave of his hand, he can burn mountains and boil seas.
You can't afford to offend him, otherwise, you won't even know how you died! "An old man glared at them.
"Tsk … He is at the True Qi Realm. We are also at the True Qi Realm. We don't have to be afraid of him!
That Nangong Ye is only at the fourth level of True Qi. Even though our cultivation is slightly weaker, if we attack together, we might not lose to him. "The triangular-eyed girl mumbled.
"So many top-grade True Qi Spirit Stones and pills are enough for us to cultivate for years!
What we, the rogue cultivators of the Jianghu, lack is True Energy Spiritual Stones! "
"Third Lady Gongsun, I think you have been blinded by lard!
Below the group of immortals is the Demon Hero, and below the Demon Hero are all living beings!
They are all at the True Qi Realm, but the strongest Demon Hero can instantly kill those at the same level! "The old man said in a deep voice.
"Do you know what a Demon Hero is?
You've never seen one before, right?
Let me tell you, every Fiend Hero is selected from the top figures in the Realm of True Qi.
They are bloodthirsty and full of battle intent. They are all geniuses.
Even when facing the Demon Race, the Demon Hero can fight without batting an eyelid. Can you do that? "
"Yes, I heard that the Demon Hero cultivates the strongest True Qi. They can go to ancient countries, secret realms, and search for treasures that ordinary martial artists are not qualified to enter.
Moreover, the mortality rate of the Demon Hero Trials is very high. Those who survive and become Demon Heroes are all top figures. I think we shouldn't have any crooked ideas.
True Qi Spirit Stones and pills may be good, but we need to be alive to enjoy them. "The short man with a fierce expression sighed helplessly.
"No!
We are the top bandits in the entire Southern Mountain Range. Even the armies of some middle-sized countries turn pale at the mention of us and flee at the sight of us.
Now that we see a fat sheep passing by us, we can't just stand by and do nothing! "The bearded man said fiercely.
The man in white, Da Ximao, also pounded his chest and stamped his feet.
"No!
I must have sex with Her Royal Highness. We can be husband and wife. Then my life will not be in vain!
Even if I can't get Her Royal Highness.
It will be great to get a few pretty maids to play with!
I have never played with a beauty in the palace in my life! "
"How dare you!
Da Ximao, you are so lustful. You should restrain yourself!
Didn't you kidnap a princess of the Prairie Fire Nation and ravaged her for seven days and seven nights before you let it go? "The old man scolded.
"The Prairie Fire Nation is just a small country in the Southern Mountain Range. It can't be compared to a giant like the Beacon Fire Empire!
The princess of the Prairie Fire Nation is in the Beacon Fire Empire.
At most, she is the daughter of a rich family. She is not even fit to carry the shoes of the princess of the Beacon Fire Empire! "Da Ximao said anxiously.
"Alright!
The First Master will make the decision. "The old man waved his hand.
"The First Master participated in the Demon Hero Trials. Although he did not become a Demon Hero in the end, he survived.
To be able to survive the cruel Demon Hero Trials.
That is something to be proud of! "
"Yes!
The First Master was also a talented genius back then. He may not be afraid of Nangong Ye!
As long as we eat this fat sheep, we won't have to do business for a few years! "
… …
… …
… …
Princess Mo Hen's escort team.
At the front.
Nangong Ye's lips curled into a mocking and disdainful sneer. He rode on his strange beast. A few true qi realm generals came over on their horses.
"General Nangong, I can feel it.
There seems to be someone spying on us in this barren mountain range. "A third level true qi realm general said in a low voice.
"In this world, there are always some very stupid people." Nangong Ye raised his eyebrows.
"This is the border between the Beacon Fire Empire and the Blazing Sun Empire.
I have long heard that there are some bandit groups lying in wait here.
However, their existence can act as a buffer between the Beacon Fire Empire and the Blazing Sun Empire.
That is why the two empires have not sent troops to eliminate them. "
As he spoke.
Nangong Ye's eyes narrowed. When he opened his eyes, they shone with a bloodthirsty and violent fighting spirit.
"It is too monotonous and boring to travel like this. I need something to relieve my boredom.
Bandits … Although killing bandits is not as satisfying as killing demons, but … I like the pleasant sound when I burn my enemies … "
After saying this, Nangong Ye showed an indescribable excitement and eagerness.
His expression was extremely ferocious.
"If those bandits don't dare to attack, then so be it. But if they do, I will torture and kill them all!"
A few of the generals showed slight fear in their eyes. They thought to themselves, General Nangong is indeed a Demon Hero. He is completely fearless in the face of danger. He even … wants the enemy to attack.
He is too murderous!
One of the generals was a little cautious and smiled awkwardly.
"General Nangong … I wonder if there is a Demon Hero among the bandits. If there is, then it will be a little troublesome."
"Hahahaha!" Nangong Ye laughed.
"How can a Demon Hero become a bandit?
The so-called mountain bandits were all unorthodox loose cultivators of the Jianghu and dregs who had betrayed their sects. The most outstanding among them might be able to step into the realm of zhenqi, but the zhenqi cultivation methods they cultivated were all trash!
I can torture and kill hundreds of bandits of the same level with just one hand! "
After a burst of laughter, Nangong Ye looked towards Princess Mo Hen's carriage and said in a barely audible voice.
"Your Highness, live a few more days.
Once we leave the Blazing Sun Empire, I will let you die in endless happiness … I will let you have a taste of being a woman before you die!
Hahahahaha! "
… …
… …
… …
In this vast wilderness area.
In the middle of the mountains.
An extremely well-hidden stronghold was built on top of a canyon. The terrain was dangerous, easy to defend and hard to attack.
Thousands of Physical Body Realm martial artists guarded every corner of the stronghold.
In the stronghold, there were also hundreds of strong dragon horses.
In the center of the stronghold, there was a wooden pavilion.
Inside the pavilion, there was a dazzling array of jewels and jadeite stones.
On the wooden shelves, there were all kinds of pills in small bottles.
A few large chests emitted true qi waves. It was obvious that they were filled with true qi spirit stones.
A bald man was sitting on a large chair made of animal skin, like a crouching tiger or a coiled dragon.
This bald man was missing an eye. His remaining eye emitted a cold light like that of a primordial python, sinister and cunning.
The true qi in his body surged like a great river. From the true acupoints in his body, a sparkling river rushed out. A giant true qi python floated up and down in the river. The snake's eyes were like copper bells, quietly observing the surroundings.
A middle-aged man dressed like a scholar said with a smile, "First Master, the Beacon Fire Empire's princess has appeared in this wasteland. In about three days, they will enter the Blazing Sun Empire's territory."
There were sword qi waves on his body. The air around his body twisted and rippled.
"Yes … the Beacon Fire Empire … that is a colossus …" The bald man's voice was extremely hoarse, like the noise of a crow.
"Yes, the one escorting the princess this time is a Demon Hero, Nangong Ye.
First Master, you have participated in the Demon Hero Selection Competition before. You should know the battle strength of a Demon Hero.
This time, I'm afraid we can only watch as the fat sheep slip away. "
The scholar shook his head with slight regret. "Although there are more than ten brothers in the True Qi Realm in the stronghold … to put it bluntly, they are just a motley crew. If they encounter a Demon Hero, they will be instantly killed."
"Demon Hero Selection Competition …" The bald man's only eye suddenly revealed an expression of fear and lingering fear. The corner of his eye twitched crazily.
"Yes … I have participated in the Demon Hero Selection Competition … it was really difficult. I almost lost my life and was consigned to eternal damnation … this eye of mine was destroyed in that terrifying selection competition …"
"However … the princess's dowry … I am very interested in it.
What I am more interested in is that Demon Hero … "The bald man stuck out his extremely long tongue and swept his lower lip.
His only eye emitted a gloomy light, revealing endless greed and selflessness.
"First Master, you … you covet the Demon Hero … this … what kind of logic is this?" The scholar was uncertain.
"Pfft ~ ~ ~ ~" The bald man burst into laughter. He patted the position of one of the true acupuncture points on his body.
"You are really too stupid. Do you think that the most precious wealth in the princess's wedding procession is the dowry?
Hahahahaha!
Let me tell you, every Demon Hero is a huge treasure trove!
As long as the Demon Hero is killed, countless secret treasures will burst out from their true acupuncture points!
There is even a possibility of obtaining a peerless secret technique!
Hahahahaha!
Of course, this matter cannot be done by force. I will think of a small way … "
