Chapter 226 Variables
"Nine times out of ten, life will be unsatisfactory. Others will not follow your own ideas."
Standing on a big tree in the forest in the distance, Li Yuan looked up at the three royal sages arriving from afar, and sighed softly. He was not sighing at the sudden appearance of the three sages, but sighing at Li Yao.
Li Yao really sent someone here, which shows that he really did it on purpose before.
Li Yuan looked up at the sky, not knowing whether it was disappointment or emotion in his eyes.
Did he really become so ruthless after sitting in that seat?
Shaking his head slightly, Li Yuan got rid of this thought. His attention should be focused here now, not on Li Yao.
In today's battle, Li Yuan's plan was to first show weakness in the Chu Palace, and then let the Black Jiao Gang turn against them, while the Song family was just a casual move by Li Yuan and Jiang Gan. If the Song family really believed in Jiang Gan, they would help them deal with the Zhou family. , then everyone is happy, it doesn't matter if they don't, etc.
But these three venerables suddenly intervened...
Um?
So...what does it matter?
Li Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, didn't they have a few more Venerable thugs on their side!
Around and below Li Yuan, the green branches of the forest moved slightly, and several black figures showed their shocked eyes.
Don't get me wrong, these people are not Li Yuan's men, and spies sent by other forces are here to spy on the battle between the Huanzhou Alliance and Lingzhou.
Their eyes were all excited. No one expected that the Royal Ancestral Temple would send people to help Lingzhou.
This is likely to turn the tide of the Lingzhou war.
They hurriedly wanted to spread the news to the forces behind it.
The momentum above the battlefield in Lingfeng City solidified.
Compared with the gloominess of the eight venerables of the Huanzhou Alliance, Li Mu from Lingfeng City looked excited. Liu Qingquan and Liu Chenfeng, who had turned pale, breathed a sigh of relief. However, Yuwen Chengdu looked at Li Jiang cautiously. Three people.
Li Jiang looked at Zhou Hong and others from the Huanzhou Alliance with a sneer on his face, and a little bit of fighting spirit in his eyes. He hadn't made a move for a long time.
He wants one to fight three!
On this side, facing the sudden appearance of the three venerables, Zhou Chiyin had a sullen face, glanced at Song Kong inadvertently, and said solemnly:
"Retreat first!"
"Okay!" Wang Cheng, who still had a fighting spirit, agreed, but something changed on the scene. The top combat power of Lingfeng City seemed not much weaker than theirs. There was a traitor from the Song family in his alliance, so it was inappropriate to continue the fight.
"Yeah!" Xu Kuang frowned slightly and replied.
"Want to leave?"
"Oh, come whenever you want, leave whenever you want, it's not that simple!"
When Li Jiang saw the venerables of the Huanzhou Alliance retreating, his dissatisfaction showed. He shouted loudly, and his aura erupted. A wave of air rose up into the sky. The terrifying aura suddenly filled the void and covered it!
Li Jiang was full of fighting spirit and rushed towards the eight venerables of the Huanzhou Alliance alone. His black hair was disheveled and his eyes were stern. The powerful power dormant in his body suddenly became restless. A powerful breath burst out from his body instantly, and his right arm shot out. Punch out!
A huge fist shadow instantly formed in the sky. The fist shadow covered the sky and blocked out the sun. The violent energy waves surged like a boiling magma sea. The place was blazing and terrifying.
The golden light intertwined with the killing shadows of the boxing, accompanied by unimaginable terrifying power, blasted towards the eight venerables!
"How brave!"
When Zhou Hong and others saw that Li Jiang dared to charge over alone, their eyes widened in anger!
Clang!
Zhou Hong, who was already angry at Li Jiang's arrival, had fierce eyes and overwhelming murderous intent. A shocking sword light rose up from the red flames in the sky. The red flames surged, and the terrifying sword intent filled the sky, slashing upwards angrily!
When the two collided, the air exploded, and countless roars shook the heaven and the earth!
The fist shook the sky, and the terrifying sword light shattered with one punch!
boom!
Under the horrified eyes of everyone in the Huanzhou Alliance, they saw Zhou Hong being punched down the nearby mountain by Li Jiang, and the mountain instantly turned into powder!
"Ancestor!"
Zhou Chi screamed!
At the same time, the ancestor of the Wang family raised a long sword in his hand. The blade surged, and countless sword energy surrounded him. The long sword slashed down and traveled across the sky. The sword glowed in the sky and was extremely sharp!
"Well done!" In the sky, Li Jiang's eyes were domineering, his black hair was spread out, and his whole body was glowing with blazing light. His energy and blood were like a vast ocean, sending out terrifying fluctuations. Faced with the attack from the ancestor of the Wang family, he punched out again!
The royal family’s unique skills!
The fist conquers the mountains and rivers!
The shadow of the fist is like a blazing sun, so bright and dazzling!
boom!
The sound was as loud as thunder, the fist's intention was as long as the sky, and the extremely powerful fist collided with the long knife!
Suddenly, the terrifying ripples erupted and then exploded!
"puff!"
Li Jiang's terrifying figure remained motionless.
The ancestor of the Wang family was pushed back thousands of meters!
The place where Zhou Hong was knocked down was immediately shaken with momentum, and he rushed out instantly. His expression was extremely solemn. The royal lord opposite him was more powerful than he imagined!
"Come together!"
Seeing that the ancestor of the Wang family was pushed back in a blink of an eye, he took a deep breath and let out a thunderous roar. Red fire filled the sky, and an indescribable brilliant sword light fell down!
Song Yaohui, Xu Xiong and others around them reacted instantly.
The first one to take action was Song Yaohui. In the blink of an eye, the transformed palm prints of his hands flashed suddenly. In the void, hundreds of palm prints appeared directly in the air. They were densely packed, like hills hanging in the air, crushing everything. Together with the ancestors of the Zhou family, they blasted away. To Li Jiang!
Boom!
However, the palm print has not yet fallen.
A golden light bloomed across the sky, and palm prints suddenly exploded and scattered all over the sky!
Everyone clearly saw that the figure standing in the terrifying aftermath was none other than Yuwen Chengdu!
Yuwen Chengdu held a phoenix-wing gold-plated boring machine and looked at Song Yaohui with stern eyes, feeling a fierce fighting spirit!
No matter what Li Jiang's intention was, Yuwen Chengdu would never see him being besieged by the enemy!
boom!
A long fist flew across the air, the sky shook, and Zhou Hong was knocked back again!
Li Jiang stepped on the void, with terrifying energy blooming all over his body. He watched Yuwen Chengdu help him block a peak Dharma Master Realm, with deep appreciation in his eyes!
"Okay, I read you right. Once we deal with them, we'll have a good drink!"
Li Jiang laughed heartily, facing Wang Luo and Zhou Hong who had already rushed over, he walked across the sky, his fists flew across the sky, and the bright light shone across the sky to meet them!
Yuwen Chengdu curled his lips and raised his head to look at Song Yaohui. Murderous intent filled the sky. Raging beams of light erupted from his eyes. His momentum shot straight into the sky. Without any hesitation, the phoenix-winged gold-plated boring machine in his hand emitted a dazzling light, like a golden lightning bolt. He slashed down towards Song Yaohui in the air!
At the same time, Li Chong, Li Hai, Li Mu, Liu Qingquan, and Liu Chenfeng arrived and fought in a melee with Xu Kuang, Xu Xiong, Wang Cheng, Zhou Chi, and Song Kong.
Boom!
An extremely terrifying battle unfolded over the entire Lingfeng City!
Within a radius of ten miles, endless violent momentum rose.
There are endless strong winds blowing from all directions, sweeping across all directions with the terrifying power of extinguishing all life.
In the strong wind, countless bloody rainstorms poured down, like a bloody sword, covering the world!
Each of the venerables burst out with infinite power, like ten little suns, colliding crazily. The thousand-meter-high mountains around Lingfeng City were only swept away by the aftermath. The mountain peaks could not bear it and cracked in all directions, making a deafening sound, and rocks pierced through the air. Big trees were uprooted and flew into the air. Then, under the terrible aftermath, they turned into dust and flew into the sky!
The shocking attack swept the sky, and like a tsunami, the doomsday scene in the sky still continued. The suppressed momentum of various terrifying battles caused the sky to crack and reveal dark streaks!
Below, the generals and powerful men from both sides of the Tianwu Realm exploded with full momentum, covering the army formation and blocking the aftermath of their battle.
Li Jiang is the most conspicuous in the sky. Fighting alone against two peak sages such as Zhou Hong and Wang Luo, the sky is turbulent and filled with endless murderous intent!
The second most eye-catching person is Xu Xiong. Among the four peak sages of the Huanzhou Alliance, Xu Xiong should be the most powerful existence. He waved his long stick in his hand, causing a storm in the sky. One person and one stick, he suppressed Li Mu to death.
Li Mu was no match for Xu Xiong, and Yuwen Chengdu could only look after each other with Li Mu, and fight with Song Yaohui and Xu Xiong from time to time.
Xu Kuang was also extremely fierce. Facing Li Hai and Li Chong, they were not at a disadvantage in a double battle.
But brothers Xu Xiong and Xu Kuang knew their positions and would let Li Hai or Yuwen Chengdu help Liu Qingquan and Liu Chenfeng from time to time in the fierce battle. After all, they were fighting with Wang Cheng and Zhou Chi and Song Kong fell into a disadvantage during the battle.
Xu Kuang glanced in the direction of Lingfeng City from time to time, waiting for the signal to rebel.
Not only them, Yang Zaitian and Ren Lie in Lingfeng City were also extremely nervous, why would a royal noble suddenly help the Chu Palace.
What should they do now?
In the city lord's palace, Li Si and Jia Xu quietly watched the battle in the sky, looking at Xu Xiong and Xu Kuang's outstanding performance, showing joy and satisfaction.
Xu Kuang and Xu Xiong are very powerful in battle, and they are worthy of being the strong men recruited by His Highness.
Li Si and Jia Xu looked at each other. With their current strength, the three arriving sages and the four from Yuwen Chengdu, plus Xu Xiong and Xu Kuang, were enough to eat up all the sages from the Huanzhou Alliance.
"Wait a minute and observe for another quarter of an hour. If the Huanzhou Alliance has no other means, we will take action."
Li Si said calmly, his eyes flashed with a pale golden light, and the chains covering Lingfeng City were looming. Looking at the battle above, Yuwen Chengdu and the others could not tell the winner for at least one day, so there was no need to worry.
"Okay!" Jia Xu nodded slightly. The first battle is a process of testing each other. You have your own means, but the enemy may not have them. Don't be anxious. It doesn't matter if you wait patiently for a while.
If the enemy really has a back-up plan, taking action in advance will only be in vain.
The closer you get to the critical moment, the more patience you need.
……………………
The fierce battle in the sky continued. As time passed, the battle became more and more intense, but there was no hope of victory. Zhou Hong and others originally wanted to retreat, but now they want to retreat, but Li Jiang Reluctant to let them leave, they could only fight in a stalemate.
"Haha, come on, come on!"
Li Jiang's black hair fell back, revealing his snow-white teeth. He laughed loudly and wildly, his eyes were like fists, and his fighting spirit was like a torch, surging.
When Zhou Hong and Wang Luo joined forces, they gradually fell behind Li Jiang!
Elsewhere, Yuwen Chengdu also became more and more courageous as he fought. His whole body was shining with golden light. He was waving the phoenix-winged gold-plated sword wildly in his hand. Each halberd had a terrifying power explosion. Following the surging fighting spirit in Yuwen Chengdu's heart, he was in the early stage of the Four Dharma Master Realm. His strength is still comparable to the peak of the Dharma Master Realm.
If he were to fight Zhou Chi or Song Kong, who were at the same level, he would be able to blow them up with one halberd!
The Huanzhou Alliance seemed to notice that Zhou Hong and others wanted to retreat but were helpless. Everyone in the base camp showed anxious expressions.
"What should we do, should we attack the city now?" A leader of the forces asked, looking at the situation in Lingfeng City in the distance.
"Support, there is a battle in the sky now, we can definitely attack Lingfeng City." Some people immediately agreed, thinking this was a good opportunity.
"No, the battle in the sky is still going on. The alliance leader already wanted to retreat just now. If the alliance leader retreats when we attack the city, and we don't have time to retreat in the future, wouldn't we die in vain." One person shook his head and said.
Many people nodded in agreement with this view.
"Indeed, now we might as well wait quietly for the leader's decision."
"Oh, no one expected that Lingfeng City would be supported by three royal nobles. Now that the alliance leader is not here, there is no one who can even make an idea." The people next to him sighed as they looked at the people in the alliance who held different opinions.
Many people secretly glanced at the people from the four major forces in front.
Xu Fengwu and Song Lan looked at the sky quietly and remained silent.
Zhou Qing wanted to say something, but was held back by a close associate next to him. In this situation, Zhou Qing could no longer be in the limelight. What if he gave the wrong order? Who can afford the consequences? He didn't see Zhou Quan and said nothing. .
Wang Yu, the eldest son of the Wang family, saw that none of the other powerful forces spoke, so he wisely kept silent.
Just when everyone in the Huanzhou Alliance was in a dilemma, outside the military tent of the Huanzhou Alliance, but within the military formation, they saw the scene of the stalemate continuing in the sky and seemed to hear the discussions within the alliance. A wave of energy belonging to the peak of the Dharma Master Realm The momentum finally broke out!
boom!
The momentum is like a rainbow, roaring all over the sky!
The figure of the Venerable did not appear, but the aura of the Supreme Venerable stirred up the wind and clouds, causing the movements of everyone who was fighting to freeze.
"retreat!"
Zhou Chi saw that a peak lord in the alliance had taken the initiative to expose himself, and his eyes showed anger. He didn't know whether it was because of Li Jiang's strength or because of the lord's initiative. Now he could only shout angrily and tell everyone to retreat.
The venerables who were suddenly engaged in a fierce battle quickly retreated one by one from the final collision.
This time, Li Jiang and Yuwen Chengdu did not come forward to entangle, but looked warily at the aura behind them that was at the peak of the Dharma Master Realm.
Another peak lord is enough to affect the situation of the battle.
Coupled with the fact that the Huanzhou Alliance took the initiative to retreat, they had no choice but to stop fighting.
As for Li Si in Lingfeng City, the golden light in his eyes dissipated and he gave up the idea of taking action. He was neither surprised nor angry. "It seems that the Huanzhou Alliance still has some tricks up its sleeve."
"The trump card appears once, and it will no longer be the trump card." Jia Xu squinted and looked into the distance with a smile, proving that he was right not to take action just now.
One more Supreme Master is nothing.
What they need to consider is whether the Huanzhou Alliance has only this venerable back-up man?
Where did the extra venerable people come from?
Defeating the Huanzhou Alliance is very simple and can be done at any time, but what they want is to deal a fatal blow to the Huanzhou Alliance and leave them no longer able to resist.
Since the Huanzhou Alliance still has a back-up plan they don't know about, they can only take it slow first. With Xu Kuang and the others around, the Huanzhou Alliance's hidden backhand will be exposed sooner or later.
Otherwise, if the Huanzhou Alliance blocks their plan this time and the Black Jiao Gang is exposed, they will lose the chance to win in one battle, and it will take longer to win the Huanzhou Alliance.
It was inconsistent with their plan to capture the Huanzhou Alliance in a very short period of time and was not conducive to the future situation. After all, they were not the only enemy of the Huanzhou Alliance.
Another scene of confrontation appeared in the sky, and Xu Kuang looked at Zhou Chi in surprise. He didn't know that there was a peak sage hidden in the alliance.
Not only Xu Kuang, but Song Kong was also shocked, and even more chilled in his heart. Why didn't they know that there was a venerable hidden in the alliance? Why didn't Zhou Chi tell him.
"Retreat first!"
Zhou Chi stared coldly at Yuwen Chengdu and others, waving his hand to signal the alliance army below to retreat!
"withdraw!"
The alliance generals below have long been stunned by today's battle. There are too many variables and it is not appropriate to fight.
Soon, the alliance army retreated in an orderly manner under the command of the general.
……………………
In the distance, Li Yuan saw that there was still a Venerable in the Huanzhou Alliance. He watched the Huanzhou Alliance gradually retreat and narrowed his eyes slightly.
It seems that it is impossible to defeat the Huanzhou Alliance in one battle today.
Although he did not achieve what he wanted today, Li Yuan was still in a calm mood and was not angry about the failure.
What I want is to solve the Huanzhou Alliance at the minimum cost, rather than win Huanzhou with both sides hurt.
These two results are different.
Things have happened, and any anger is just a sign of incompetence. It is better to think about what you can do now. Plans are plans, reality is reality. Li Yuan has understood this truth very early.
Li Yuan quietly looked at the Huanzhou Alliance army that was slowly leaving. His calm eyes gradually became agitated, and the color of thinking kept flashing. Regarding the sudden appearance of the Venerable, Li Yuan thought carefully for a while and felt that there were only two kinds of Condition.
The first one, based on what Xu Kuang told him about the major forces in Huanzhou, there is only one peak venerable hidden in the Huanzhou Alliance. It is most likely that he is the venerable hidden by the Zhou family themselves. The Zhou family has always hidden He is the number one force in Huanzhou, and there may not be a venerable person hidden within the family.
Second, there is more than one Venerable hidden in the alliance. If this is the case, it is likely to come from other forces.
Thinking of the second scenario, Li Yuan's eyes moved slightly. He raised his head and saw Yu Wen Chengdu and the three arriving Li Jiang walking back to Lingfeng City. He was not surprised but rather excited.
Following this line of thinking, it is not difficult to speculate that near Huanzhou and Lingzhou, the only ones who can send people to reinforce the Huanzhou Alliance are the big forces in Lianzhou!
If the Huanzhou Alliance really has a venerable person reinforced by the powerful forces in Lianzhou, this may not be a good thing!
Before, I only wanted to deal with the Huanzhou Alliance first, but now with the support of the three nobles of the royal family, it seems that I can also involve the Lianzhou forces, and the two will attack together.
Song Jiang and others in Lianzhou are still relatively weak. If the top powers in Lianzhou are involved, losing several venerables, and causing Lianzhou to fall into chaos, then Song Jiang can take advantage of the chaos to rise!
Of course, this is just my own conjecture. If it is not the second case, but the first case, the only hidden sage in the Huanzhou Alliance is this one, and it is the last resort of the Zhou family, there is no need to think so much, next time It’s time to directly deal with the Huanzhou Alliance!
