Chapter 507 This world is man-eating

For a long time, Xu Qing will look at the human defense line on the battlefield where he is.

A large golden net connecting heaven and earth was cut across the battlefield like a giant screen.

Regardless of the sky, regardless of the earth, all means of the Shenglan clan were blocked by the golden net outside the fourth line of defense of the human race.

This golden giant screen is extremely vast, not only connecting the sky and the earth up and down, but also spreading to an endless range from left to right.

If you have a pair of eyes that can see the entire border of Fenghai County, then you can see its wide range. While connecting the northern battlefield, it will also cover the entire border of Fenghai County and the Shenglan tribe.

And here, in the golden net, countless defenses were built on the fourth line of defense that the human race opened up early, and a large number of marching tents spread here.

Countless human monks, each with deep fatigue, are constantly building and maintaining here.

Rows of thorn-like weapons of war stood up endlessly on the edge of the ravine, pointing in the direction of the Shenglan clan.

There are hundreds of thousands of them, and they are all shining now, causing the nothingness in front of them to distort, and even space cracks appear, and there are deafening booming sounds, which continue to reverberate.

This is not the sound of explosion, but the sound of gaining momentum.

Their eruption is not the kind of spells that are visible to the naked eye, but the power of musical notes formed specifically against Hei Xue.

Once it is fully activated, it can make the black snow of the Shenglan clan lose the ability to be combined to the greatest extent and melt away in advance.

And this ubiquitous roar is already the norm on the front line.

Even in the huge golden screen, hundreds of Guixu sat cross-legged. They are the controllers of taboo magic weapons, and they will use the power of taboo to form interference and targeted confrontation with the diamond-shaped magic weapons of the Shenglan clan.

At the same time, it also has the task of marking the reaper and sending monks to focus on killing them.

In addition, you can also see that there are extremely tall war puppets on the ground.

These puppets have the characteristics of the human race, and any one of them is like a mountain. They stand on the formations everywhere. The driving of each puppets requires a large number of monks to jointly deploy them, and their power is naturally impressive.

And the most thrilling thing is the nine huge emperor swords!

Nine huge swords are as high as the sky, standing between the sky and the earth.

While exuding supreme majesty, they also erupted with thrilling deterrence. If you look carefully, you can see that the nine emperor swords are surprisingly formed by the gathering of countless emperor swords.

They can be deterrent as a whole, or they can be dispersed. They are the heavy spears of the human side in this war.

Even in the sky, there is a huge Taoist bell.

This clock is the moment when the Jianjian Palace in Fenghai County was completed, and was bestowed by the Swordholding Headquarters of the Imperial Capital.

It was originally hung in the Sword-holding Palace, but now it is placed on the battlefield, because it itself... is the treasure of the Sword-holding Palace in Fenghai County, and it was the same internal power of the Sword-holding Palace as the Prisoner.

Its role can not only be external, but also internal.

External bells can blast and kill all directions, while internal ones can wake them up.

Looking from a distance, one can see that there are hundreds of thousands of bronze coffins around the huge clock, and each coffin is painted with layers of seals.

What lies there is not a dead person.

is alive!
Among them are men and women, old and young, they are those who have been preparing swords for war by the Sword Palace for too many years!

Most of them have lived in a relatively peaceful time for a long time, so they have not cut off their swords at the moment when the oil is exhausted and the lights are dry, so they petition to sleep with secret methods and integrate the emperor's sword into their lives.

Just wait for the moment of waking up, and cut off the sword that cut off his own life.

There are also those who know that their cultivation has come to an end, so they are willing to sleep for Fenghai County and integrate into their lives to raise the sword.

Each of them knew that the moment they woke up must be the most critical time for Fenghai County.

But now, [-]% of the hundreds of thousands of coffins are empty.

The sword-wielding person inside had been awakened in the previous battle, without any hesitation, he cut off the last sword transformed by his own life.

At this moment, after all this came into Xu Qing's eyes, dozens of figures flew out of the fourth wave of defense in Fenghai County, heading straight for the army where Xu Qing and his party were.

It didn't take long, the visitor was approaching, and the person in charge was the Deputy Palace Master of the Palace of Holding Swords.

He came here to greet him personally, and he has already explained his attitude.

There was excitement on his exhausted expression, and this kind of mood swing was rare for major repairs of his level.

Kong Xianglong was also in the crowd. He had injuries and was in a very depressed mood. He could only smile a little when he saw Xu Qing.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qing's heart sank, and a bad premonition arose.

But this is not the time for questioning, the voice of the deputy palace lord of the Sword Holding Palace approached quickly.

"Brother Mingyi, brother Gongze!"

The elders of the sword-wielding court in Yinghuangzhou and Quzhaozhou also walked out quickly and bowed to the deputy palace master.

"You guys came in time, very timely!" The deputy palace lord took a deep breath, suppressed the agitation in her heart, and spoke immediately.

"The Palace Master has orders!"

"All Guixu and the heads of the sects in Quzhaozhou and Yinghuangzhou, go to the big tent immediately, and the Palace Master summons them!"

"The rest will wait and camp on the spot, waiting for the next step."

"Please!"

The Deputy Palace Mistress clasped her fists and bowed heavily to the people of the two states, and then her eyes fell on Xu Qing, revealing a strange aura of admiration.

"Xu Shuling, you also follow me."

Xu Qing solemnly said yes.

The group didn't waste any time and immediately left with the deputy palace lord.

Before leaving, Xu Qing looked back at the captain.

The captain has now grown to the size of a seven or eight-year-old child, standing next to a deacon of Lingzang in the sword holding court, like a child.

After noticing Xu Qing's gaze, he waved at Xu Qing, signaling to come to Xu Qing later.

Xu Qing nodded, quickly followed the crowd, and soon arrived within the defense line of Fenghai County.

Walking all the way here, Xu Qing saw countless injured human monks.

The soldiers on the front line obviously knew about the arrival of the reinforcements from the two states, so almost the moment Xu Qing and his party stepped into the defense area, countless human monks walked out of their respective tents, looking at Xu Qing with excitement in their eyes. and others.

There are disciples from various sects, casual cultivators, and sword-wielding practitioners. The injuries range from mild to severe, but they all clasped their fists and bowed to Xu Qing and the others at the moment they saw them.

Since the battle, their misery, their bitterness, and their exhaustion have become extremely strong, but there is still no despair, but they are eager to see hope.

At this moment, hope, appeared!
From the eyes of these human monks, Xu Qing felt their emotions, and as he continued to move forward, he saw more frontline fighters.

At the beginning, some of these people were silent, some were cold, some were bitter, and some had bloodshot eyes, but after noticing them, they all turned into excitement and excitement.

There are also some sword holders from the Sword Holding Palace, and Chen Tinghao and Taoist couple are also among them.

They were seriously injured. After seeing Xu Qing, Chen Tinghao smiled. His Taoist companion was gently bandaging his wound. After noticing Xu Qing, he smiled.

But they didn't say anything, because the closer they got to the line of defense, the louder the roar here was, the sonic power formed by the countless sharp stabbing weapons filled all directions and was deafening.

Xu Qing nodded. He saw that although Chen Tinghao was seriously injured, he was still recovering, and he felt a little relieved.

Xu Qing has a good impression of these two, because when they first came to the county capital, they not only enthusiastically informed a lot of information, but also stood in line for him in Silu Palace.

So Xu Qing took a few more glances before looking away.

During this journey, soon the group of them, led by the deputy palace lord, came to the commander's tent on the edge of the ravine.

Here is the frontline headquarters.

While guarding by hundreds of personal guards, there are also civilian swordsmen waiting solemnly. Whenever a decree is sent out from the commander's tent, they will immediately listen to the order, arrange records and supervise the implementation.

"Let the seventh army go to the front line immediately, and let me keep an eye on any changes in the behavior of the Shenglan clan!"

"Arrange the Ninth Army, break it up into pieces, try to enter the battlefield area, and collect data on Heixue's changes!"

"Also ask the prison department to arrange a team to go out and strangle the black-clothed guards who sneaked into the rear. The construction of the fifth line of defense cannot be destroyed!"

The stern voice of the palace master inside the handsome tent continued to be heard, and everyone outside the tent immediately began to carry out the order.

With scrutiny in his eyes, Xu Qing instinctively glanced over these civilian sword holders.

And these civilian swordsmen here also noticed Xu Qing, and each was taken aback for a moment, then all showed respect in their eyes, and when they received the decree to carry out, they would bend slightly to Xu Qing when they passed by Xu Qing.

Their identities and responsibilities, as well as their efficiency, made it unnecessary for them to do so in most areas of the front line.

But when facing Xu Qing, it must be like this.

Because they are all members of the Commander Shu, they were the first batch of subordinates recruited by Xu Qing after he established the Commander Shu during the war preparation stage.

Although Xu Qing didn't come to the battlefield back then, most of his staff were with the army.

Xu Qing nodded slightly, signaling them to go to work quickly. After the Shulingsi disciples left one after another, the deputy palace master stepped forward quickly and spoke respectfully outside the tent.

"Palace Master, all Guixu and their respective leaders in Yinghuang State and Qu Zhao State have arrived."

"Enter!" In the big tent, came the majestic voice of the Palace Master.

Everyone returned to the void outside the tent, everyone looked solemn, walked towards the tent, and entered one after another.

Soon, apart from the guards guarding the big tent, only Xu Qing, Kong Xianglong and others were left.

While waiting, Xu Qing looked at Kong Xianglong with a haggard face and a little absent-mindedness.

"Brother Kong, what happened?" Xu Qing asked softly.

"Ye Ling... is dead." Kong Xianglong said in a low voice, with sadness in his voice and even more bitterness, his haggard face lost its luster.

Xu Qing was shocked, he knew that Ye Ling liked Kong Xianglong.

"Before she died, tell me that she likes me..."

Kong Xianglong's body trembled a little, he grabbed Xu Qing's shoulder, his eyes were red and his hands were trembling.

"Xu Qing, I feel so uncomfortable."

As Kong Xianglong spoke, his eyes turned redder, and he finally closed them.

Xu Qing remained silent, letting Kong Xianglong grab his shoulder.

He has experienced life and death parting more than once, so he can understand this feeling, it is an unreal feeling, and he cannot get used to it, nor can he get used to it.

All he could do was stand beside Kong Xianglong and hand him a jug of wine when Kong Xianglong was trembling.

Kong Xianglong took the jug, took a big gulp, and murmured.

"It turns out that wine sometimes loses its taste."

Kong Xianglong let go of Xu Qing's shoulder, patted him lightly, turned and left.

He came here because he was depressed. He heard that Xu Qing was coming, so he followed to see.

Xu Qing was silent.

The scene of seeing Ye Ling for the first time in the Sword Holding Palace appeared in front of his eyes.

The girl who ate flesh and blood melon seeds, the girl who told him that he could go to the Taixu Huayue Sect to learn the formula of transforming demons, the girl who only had Kong Xianglong in her eyes and heart at any time.

After a long time, Xu Qing sighed softly.

"This world is a cannibal." Xu Qing murmured, with complicated emotions.

After a long while, as Guixu came out of the tent one after another, when Xue Lianzi and the two elders of the sword court were also ordered to leave one after another, the voice of the palace master came from inside the tent.

"Xu Qing, come in."

Xu Qing cheered up, walked over, and stepped into the big tent.

The moment he walked in, he saw the Palace Master sitting directly in front of him, and also saw a huge sand table formed by spells inside the tent.

This sand table map completely outlines the entire western front line. From the inside, you can see the Tianlan Mountains, which is only a part of this line of defense.

Its left and right undulating directions spread across the entire west, connecting with the northern front line, and the scope is extremely large.

This is also inevitable, after all, this is a large-scale war.

Although this place is only a part of the overall defense line, but the palace lord's headquarters chose to be here, it is conceivable that this is the core of the defense line.

Xu Qing took a deep breath, looked away from the sand table, and looked at the Palace Master.

The palace lord was obviously more haggard than before, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body was injured. The armor he wore for him was still on his body, as if he had never taken it off.

And the evil spirit is stronger than before.

Now that he was sitting there, Xu Qing felt like a peerless ferocious beast, gathering the aura of the entire army, always choosing and devouring people, making people instinctively terrified.

"Greetings to the Palace Master." Xu Qing bowed with a solemn expression and clasped his fists.

"Xu Qing, I have received the supplies you sent earlier."

The palace lord stared at Xu Qing, the evil spirit on his body seemed to want to subside, but the gathering of the army's luck prevented him from dispelling the blood evil easily, so he tried his best to make his expression gentler, and his eyes showed deep appreciation .

"I also know the reason for the gathering of troops from the two states. This time, you made a great contribution!"

Xu Qing lowered his head and spoke calmly.

"This is what a humble job should do. In addition, at Zhaoxia Mountain, I..."

Just as Xu Qing said this, before he finished speaking, suddenly the color of the sky outside changed, as if the stars were changing places, and the ground was showing murderous intent, trembling violently, like a dragon and a snake taking off from the land.

There were bursts of whistling sounds from the monks of the Shenglan clan, echoing in the sky and the earth.

The war broke out again after a short break!

The murderous intent was like a strong wind, blowing from the direction of Tianlan Mountains, and bombarded the taboo net in Fenghai County.

The golden net trembled instantly, sparking a dazzling radiance.

The rage contained in this wind swept across the defense line of the gully, roaring past the tents of the human race in Fenghai County everywhere, causing countless marching tents to shake violently.

It also landed outside the big tent of the palace lord, and the tent cloth was blown out with a grinning sound, and the door cloth was quickly lifted inward, revealing the dark cloud-filled sky outside and countless lightning bolts across the sky.

boom!
There was a loud noise from the earth and the sky at the same time.

Xu Qing's long hair rose with the wind, and his mind and hair were synchronized with violent waves.

The roaring sound, like the roar of countless giant beasts, surpassed the sky thunder on the battlefield, resounding in all directions like a torrent of bells.

The palace lord was expressionless, but the evil spirit on his body became stronger at this moment. When the world changed, he stood up, threw a jade slip to Xu Qing, and walked out of the big tent.

"This jade slip records some information on the battlefield of the Shenglan tribe. Xu Qing, you should step back and study first, and I will give you a day to get familiar with the battlefield as soon as possible."

"This is just a regular battle. It is far from the level of a big battle. How to get familiar with it and measure it is up to you."

"In short, starting tomorrow, you will return to your job and take over the responsibility of Shuling!"

Hearing the Palace Master's words, Xu Qing immediately claimed yes.

The palace lord nodded and walked out of the big tent. Outside the tent, all the disciples of Shu Lingsi had returned, standing in awe, waiting for the order.

Standing behind the palace lord, Xu Qing looked at the battlefield in the distance. In addition to the countless strange changes in the sky, he saw the monks of the Shenglan tribe rushing towards the sky like a sea.

Some of these monks are flying in the sky, and some are galloping on the ground. They are all wearing armor, and their murderous intent is strong.

And their lineup is centered on the activated huge severed hands, divided into several formations, overwhelming,
Soon, a series of decrees came out from the mouth of the palace lord, and the human army in Fenghai County, like a fierce beast awakened from a doze, opened its eyes at this moment and started to fight back.

Xu Qing also clasped his fists and left at this moment. He knew very well that for himself who had just arrived on the battlefield, he didn't understand the rhythm of the war and the strengths and weaknesses of each legion.

The position of Shuling is not that simple, and it can be controlled casually. After all, in addition to passing orders, it is also necessary to monitor the degree of completion and analyze and summarize in advance.

This requires a detailed grasp of the details of the battlefield.

One day is actually not enough.

Even the jade slip given by the palace lord recorded the information of the Shenglan clan's battlefield, but it was still not enough.

Therefore, in order to familiarize himself with it as soon as possible, he needs to find a position that is large enough to look at the battlefield to view the war from a macro perspective. At the same time, this position must allow him to step directly on the battlefield at all times and experience the details of both the human race and the Shenglan clan from a microscopic perspective.

Although staying with the palace lord meets the first condition, the place where the palace lord is located is the core, and it is not suitable to enter the battlefield immediately. Even if you want to go, you need to ask for instructions, which is too passive.

So amid the roaring of the world and the earth-shattering outbreak of war, Xu Qing looked in all directions, looking for suitable locations, and finally his eyes fell on the huge mountains of abandoned puppets near the front line.

Each of the war puppets in Fenghai County is driven by a large number of monks, and they usually exist on the formations arranged on the ground to keep them in peak condition at all times.

But more have been scrapped and cannot be repaired. They can only be piled up together and used as accessories to repair other puppets, and can also be used as part of the bunker.

In addition, at critical moments, it can also be used as a source of pollution and be thrown out and exploded.

Seeing the mountain formed by piles of discarded puppets, Xu Qing quickly approached.

At the moment of the battle, there were not many people guarding here, only a lame old man was sitting there, looking at the battlefield with a numb expression.

Although Xu Qing's arrival caught his attention, he just glanced blankly and ignored it.

Xu Qing didn't say much. After arriving, he jumped up and stepped on those scraps to reach the top.

Standing there, he took out the jade slip given by the palace lord, checked it, and looked at the battlefield.

This position is a relatively commanding height, allowing Xu Qing to see the entire battlefield more clearly.

Outside the golden net, the battlefield was roaring loudly at this moment.

On the sky, the huge diamond-shaped magic weapon from the Shenglan tribe continuously emitted deafening buzzing sounds, echoing in all directions, causing the nothingness to distort. When the nothingness was distorted, lightning bolts swam inside, and sometimes fell to the ground, roaring everything.

Even more coercion emanated from the blood-colored eyes of those diamond-shaped magic weapons, descending on the battlefield, blessing the monks of the Shenglan clan, and at the same time attacking the human army.

Through the jade slips, Xu Qing knew what this diamond-shaped magic weapon was. As far as he looked at it, many human monks were covered in blood, part of it came from the enemy, and the other part was the reaction of their own heterogeneous pollution.

These rhombus-shaped instruments from the Heitian Clan have strange powers and frighten all directions.

But the human race also has a way to target it. With the shining of the golden net formed by the taboo of the county capital, Xu Qing saw hundreds of Guixu experts sitting cross-legged on it and responsible for the operation of the formation, as if turning into source points one by one, spreading out All cultivation bases are integrated into the golden net.

Immediately, huge golden faces protruded from the golden net, roared silently, rushed out, and hit the diamond-shaped magic weapon in the sky.

Under the loud noise of heaven and earth, those diamond-shaped instruments were finally affected, and they checked and balanced each other.

But the black snow pervading the battlefield, which is hard to be contained, is constantly falling.

Sometimes they turned into a Taoist spell to bombard the human monks, and sometimes they gathered together in large numbers, transformed into human and animal shapes, and charged into the army while roaring.

Some fell in front of the monks of the Shenglan tribe and formed weapons, which were manipulated by their tricks, and their power increased greatly.

There was even black snow falling on the human monks. Even though the monks in Fenghai County tried their best to avoid it, there was too much and too dense black snow here, and there would be no slack in the end.

Those monks who were contaminated instantly trembled, and the black snow turned into a highly poisonous substance, causing the heterogeneity in their bodies to directly exceed the critical point. The sound of wailing and misery spread all over the place, and many of them directly alienated and roared wildly. There is no distinction between the enemy and the enemy.

Terrible.

But since the human race and the Shenglan clan have been at war so far, there is naturally a way to deal with it.

Soon as Xu Qing's mind was shaken, a huge roar came from the defense line, and amazing magic thorns rose one after another, with their tips pointing at the battlefield. Under the deafening and amazing sound, violent sound waves were emitted towards the battlefield.

Wherever this sound wave passed, the black snow between the sky and the earth trembled and melted rapidly. It became black water before it landed, and evaporated rapidly, and finally turned into black mist, which was dispersed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the human race in Fenghai County on the battlefield had time to breathe. The legion that was fighting quickly retreated, and the other legions that had been preparing for the battle for a long time quickly stepped forward.
