Chapter 243: Drain Zhao Kai, kill Zhao Heng, and encounter Sui Xiagu!

The thirty-six Fulong-style Qigong practitioners account for almost one-third of all the Qigong practitioners in the Imperial Observatory.

The fact that Yang Taisui was able to bring so many Qigong practitioners to ambush and kill Li Changan shows that Zhao Heng was determined to get Li Changan.

Qigong practitioners do not cultivate their realm. After reaching the master level, they choose a direction to practice from among the mysteries of the mind and the celestial phenomena, and possess powerful means to defeat the enemies.

Yang Taisui clasped his hands together and said confidently, "Your Highness, Prince Tang, I'm afraid you don't know that there is such a miraculous Qigong master in the world."

"Thirty-six Qi training masters are here today. I don't think you can escape."

In this world, few people know about the existence of Qigong practitioners, and the Qigong practitioners in the Imperial Observatory are also very well hidden.

Their cultivation is different from that of the people in the three religions and the martial artists in the martial arts world. Some collect thunder from heaven and fire from earth, some collect morning glow and moonlight, and some collect ownerless souls. It can be said to be very diverse.

Qigong practitioners do not cultivate their realm, and those below the level of earthly immortals are all called Qigong masters. Their specific strength depends on the means they use to practice.

While Yang Taisui was speaking, these Qigong practitioners took out a white jade tablet, which seemed to be the magical instrument they usually used for cultivation.

The Qigong practitioners chanted something, and the sky soon changed. The originally clear sky turned into dark clouds.

From time to time, rays of light shot out from the dark clouds. Strangely, at the same time as the rays of light shot down, thunder actually flashed in the sky.

"Boom!"

Thunder balls fell from the sky and smashed towards the encirclement where Li Changan was. These Qi training masters could use the true Qi of the celestial realm to form a formation.

In the blink of an eye, the soft glow enveloped the entire circle. An ordinary person would not be able to perceive the effect of the glow.

However, Li Changan could clearly feel that these rays of light were suppressing his luck. If he stayed under these rays of light for a long time, his luck might be robbed.

Li Changan sneered. He was the only one who had plundered other people's luck, and he had never had his luck plundered by anyone.

Thunder balls fell one after another. Li Changan dodged the thunders with the Immortal Steps, and shot the Three-Point Return to Origin Qi towards several Qigong practitioners.

The powerful Sanfen Guiyuan Qi is a move that even Hong Xixiang cannot withstand. These Qigong practitioners are not physically strong and should not be able to resist it.

However, as the most bizarre existence in the snowy world, Qigong practitioners do have their own unique qualities.

The Three-Point Return to Origin Qi passed through the Qigong practitioners' bodies without causing any effect on them. The thirty-six Qigong practitioners seemed to be just transparent shadows.

In the encirclement, General Fu Hongjia helped several masters from the royal palace to resist the thunder ball, and only Li Changan had the power to fight back.

Zhao Kai and Yang Taisui smiled at each other, revealing surprise, "Second Master, the Qigong practitioner is really amazing!"

Yang Taisui smiled slightly, remembering what Zhengnan Huaiyu of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau said, "Any ordinary earthly immortal is definitely not a match for a Qigong practitioner. Li Changan has just broken through to the level of earthly immortal for about a month, how could he possibly resist the Qigong magical power of the Fulong system!"

The master and the disciple had smug smiles on their faces, hoping that Li Changan would die under the falling thunder.

During the White Clothes Case in the capital, Wu Su escaped from the Imperial Observatory, and the Imperial Observatory had been focusing its attention on the formation of the Qigong practitioners.

Now these Qigong practitioners are actually hiding in various corners of the military camp, setting up formations to encircle Li Changan and others, but they are just phantoms formed by Qi.

Only Qigong practitioners and a very small number of masters can directly utilize Qi in actual combat, while ordinary Qi Gangyuan is helpless against these phantoms of Qi.

Li Changan tried a few more times, but he couldn't hurt these phantoms at all. The lightning in the sky became more and more frequent, and the glow in the sky became more and more intense.

In fact, even such an offensive could not do anything to Li Changan. Li Changan had a solid foundation in the three realms, so he was not at all in the initial realm of a land immortal.

Yang Taisui's words also fell into Li Changan's ears. The fighting method of these Qigong practitioners was similar to what he guessed, directly mobilizing their Qi to attack.

Before practicing the Sacred Heart Sutra, Li Changan had no method to directly absorb luck except for Wu Lingsu's dual cultivation secret technique.

If it was at that time, he could only sacrifice General Fu Hongjia to resist the attack, and then retreat with a few masters.

But now, Li Changan has a way to deal with these Qigong practitioners.

Thunder balls fell from the sky, but Li Changan no longer dodged. He released the Prajna Heart Bell to block the thunder balls and the rays of light.

Yang Taisui sneered and said, "The Buddhist sect's secret technique is related to the luck of Buddhism. The luck of the Qigong practitioner can absorb the luck from it!"

"Although this Buddhist Heart Bell can temporarily block the rays of light and thunder, if it continues for a long time, its luck will be sucked away and it will be pierced!"

However, things did not develop as Yang Taisui had envisioned.

The dark clouds in the sky suddenly became thicker, and then the temperature around dropped rapidly. Even Yang Taisui, who had the body of a Buddhist Vajra, felt unusually cold.

Immediately afterwards, heavy snow suddenly fell throughout the entire military camp, mixed with hail.

These snowflakes actually fell on the phantoms of those Qigong practitioners and did not pass through them!

The Frost Sky Curse, one of the Four Sacred Heart Curses, and the Nahai Sacred Heart Curse, one of the Four Sacred Heart Curses, were cast at the same time. The military camp instantly became covered in ice and snow, and it was freezing cold!

All the Li Yang soldiers who remained in the army were completely frozen stiff within a few breaths, without a trace of life left!
Xie Guanying walked out of the tent, heavy snow fell on his face, and then his expression changed drastically.

As the snowflakes fell on his body, the energy in his body was being sucked away bit by bit!
Li Changan's Nahai Sacred Heart Technique can absorb all energy and skills!

Xie Guanying, who had originally wanted to launch a sneak attack, felt as if his heart was surging with waves, because he had never seen a method that could directly absorb luck.

Even if it was the Qigong practitioners from the South China Sea or the Fulong system, these forces where the celestial immortals controlled the luck of fishing remotely, no one had ever been able to absorb the luck directly!
The general practice is to kill a person with great luck, and then take on part of the luck, or capture and suppress the strange beasts and divine creatures that carry great luck between heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, Xie Guanying had limited knowledge and didn’t know that the living immortal Wu Lingsu actually had the secret technique of dual cultivation by absorbing luck.

If Wu Lingsu did not have this ability, the late emperor would not have made him a king of a different surname.

Xie Guanying, who originally wanted to take advantage of the situation, was very clear about his own strength. Although he was ranked first on the list of Land Chaoxiantu, his strongest point was actually his escape skill.

As for why he is at the top of the list, it is of course because he is good at collecting luck, and the Land Chaoxiantu is also a treasure for qigong practitioners, that's all.

Since Li Changan can absorb luck directly, the formations of these dragon-supporting Qigong practitioners can't do anything to him at all, and Yang Taisui and Zhao Kai will be even less able to deal with Li Changan.

Yang Taisui couldn't see this, but Xie Guanying could.

"What should we do now? Stay and fight that guy?"

"But... can I beat him?"

As soon as he thought of this, the ground under Xie Guanying's feet shrank to an inch, and he was already dozens of feet away!

Xie Guanying, who was willing to kill his wife to collect luck and tried all kinds of ways to collect luck throughout his life, valued his life more than Zhao Kai.

If he was not more than 90% sure, he would not easily fight with Li Changan, who had strange methods.

He has always had a keen sense of crisis, and now he is trying to escape without hesitation. Although his luck is good, it is not as important as his life.

A hint of mockery flashed across Li Changan's lips, and then he revealed a look of regret. It was such a pity to let this old guy who was full of luck run away.

He looked at Zhao Kai, who was shivering on the ground, and the regret in his heart was slightly relieved.

In any case, Zhao Kai is still here, so it’s not a loss to absorb Zhao Kai’s luck.

Yang Taisui and Zhao Kai, who were shocked by Li Changan's methods, have not yet figured out what Li Changan is trying to do.

But soon, something that horrified them happened!
The phantom clones of the Qigong practitioners all shrank inch by inch under the cover of snowflakes. After the large pieces of snow absorbed the clones' luck, they all flew towards Li Changan in the air.

Li Changan used the Nahai Sacred Heart Technique to absorb the luck of these phantoms, and then fed it back to himself!

As the phantom became smaller and smaller, the thunder balls in the sky became fewer and fewer, and the glow became fainter and fainter, leaving only a trace of light.

"Kakakaka..."

Suddenly, a strange freezing sound was heard in the military camp, as if something was freezing underground.

Yang Taisui and Zhao Kai looked at the ground nervously, feeling that the crisis was approaching, so they began to use their lightness skills and planned to escape.

In a tent in the military camp, a Qigong practitioner was sweating profusely in the bone-chilling cold. He sat cross-legged, trying to maintain an illusion that had been almost completely absorbed.

However, suddenly, a cold chill came from under his body, and several sharp ice blades instantly shot out from the ground, piercing into his body through his thighs and buttocks!
There was blood everywhere and screams were heard!
All thirty-six Qigong practitioners in the military camp were stabbed to death by such ice blades, and some did not even have time to scream.

Throughout the military camp, countless densely packed ice blades flew out from the ground, almost one next to the other, forming a sharp ice curtain!

Ten Thousand Blades Piercing the Clouds, one of the Four Great Secret Arts of the Sacred Heart!
On the sharp ice blade were strung the corpses of the Liyang soldiers who had just frozen to death, as well as the bodies of the Qigong practitioners who had just been killed!
These Qigong practitioners hiding in various corners can withstand the low temperature of Han Tianjue, but they are pierced by the ice blades underground!
The ice blade pierced through the air, and all the corpses and tents in the entire military camp were blown away, and the phantom clones of those Qigong practitioners were also completely absorbed!
Relying on the Buddhist Vajra physique, Yang Taisui shattered the ice blade under him and pulled Zhao Kai away in the air at a high speed!

The arrogant Zhao Kai was just waiting to see Li Changan's death with complacency, but the next moment he was hunted down by Li Changan!

He turned back in horror and found that Li Changan had already absorbed the luck and was looking at him with a frown.

Zhao Kai was almost frozen to death, and now he felt even colder all over.

It’s just that his own cultivation is too low, so he can only rely on Yang Taisui beside him to take him flying quickly.

"Second Master, save me...you must save me..."

Yang Taisui was so anxious in the snow that he was sweating profusely. Not to mention saving Zhao Kai, his own life and death was in danger.

With no other options, the old monk in black could only use his Qinggong skills to try to escape from the military camp quickly, hoping that Zhao Kai's luck could bring a turnaround for the two of them.

Zhao Kai, who was extremely anxious, suddenly felt his body warm up a lot. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He had escaped from Li Changan Han Tianjue's range!

"Uh!"

The old monk in black beside him suddenly let out a muffled groan. Zhao Kai turned around and was immediately shocked to death!

I saw a white aura that completely pierced through Yang Taisui's chest, leaving a bloody hole with a diameter of two feet on his black monk robe!
Yang Taisui's internal organs were all pierced and shattered, and his eyes flashed for a moment before completely dimming.

Immediately afterwards, the new King of Shu, Zhao Kai, saw Li Changan standing in front of him.

Li Changan performed the Sea of ​​Sacred Heart Technique and absorbed all the remaining true qi in Yang Taisui's meridians into the Dantian Qi Sea.

The Haina Sacred Heart Technique was running at a very fast speed, and these true qi were transformed into Li Changan's own Gang Yuan bit by bit, and began to help Li Changan improve his cultivation.

The Sea of ​​Sacred Heart Technique can absorb luck, as well as internal strength, true energy, and Gang Yuan!
Zhao Kai looked at Li Changan's actions in horror, then he knelt down very quickly and kowtowed continuously.

"Your Highness, Prince Tang, my cultivation is very poor and I have no power to absorb."

"Ever since I met you in Yongzhou, I have always longed for you and always took you as my role model." "In my heart, you are more wise and powerful than my father. I have always lived in infinite admiration for you!"

The shameless Zhao Kai turned all his hatred for Li Changan into admiration.

Li Changan absorbed the remaining true energy from Yang Taisui, and then looked coldly at Zhao Kai who kept kowtowing.

"You Zhaos are all weak-willed."

Because he thought of Zhao Heng, who had his son killed and didn't dare to say a word.

Li Changan performed the Sea of ​​Sacred Heart Technique again, and gently grabbed Zhao Kai with his right hand. The great luck on Zhao Kai's body continued to fall on Li Changan.

Zhao Kai had not practiced any Qi control techniques, so he didn't know what was happening.

But Li Changan's words made him feel heartbroken.

"Eh... As expected, he has great luck. Although not as good as Xiao Si and Guanyin, he is not bad either."

Zhao Kai didn't feel any pain, but he was in tears!
He was most proud of his great fortune. Over the years, he often comforted himself with his great fortune.

When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer!

But now, the luck is gone!

He didn't feel sad for long before he discovered that the true energy in his body was being sucked away bit by bit.

Not long after, Li Changan shook his head in disappointment, because Zhao Kai, a second-grade junior grandmaster, had too weak internal strength.

The internal strength of a warrior below the first rank was of little use to Li Changan. It seemed that only the true energy of a first rank master could help him improve.

Zhao Kai cried bitterly, "Your Highness the King of Tang, my luck and inner strength all belong to you, please let me go."

"I will live in seclusion from now on and leave Liyang..."

"Crack..."

With a crisp freezing sound, Zhao Kai instantly turned into an ice sculpture.

Li Changan flicked his hand casually, and the ice sculpture of Zhao Kai completely turned into powder and dissipated between heaven and earth.

"It's finally quiet."

After dealing with Yang Taisui and Zhao Kai, not long after, 10,000 Tang cavalrymen defeated the Liyang army.

Of the 30,000 Liyang troops, more than 20,000 were killed, and the remaining thousands were completely routed.

Li Changan's troops are not outnumbered compared to the several coalition forces in Li Yang.

If we wait until they attack Liangzhou and Shazhou before defending, these Liyang troops will cause huge damage to the population and production of Liangzhou.

By then, even if Li Changan had a system to increase his military strength, he would be seriously injured and would not be able to launch a major war in the short term.

Therefore, although his troops were at a disadvantage, Li Changan still had to take the initiative to attack.

After eliminating Zhao Kai and Yang Taisui, Li Changan waited for more than two days and finally waited for Huo Qubing to arrive as promised.

Huo Qubing, with his five thousand white horse volunteers and twenty-five thousand Tang cavalry, came from Qingzhou overnight.

In the central army tent, Huo Qubing, accompanied by several cavalry generals, came to pay their respects respectfully, holding an exquisite box in their hands.

"Your Highness, I will fulfill my mission and launch a surprise attack on Jing'an Prince Zhao Heng, and completely annihilate Qingzhou's 100,000-strong army!"

"Here is Zhao Heng's head, please have a look, Your Highness!"

According to Zhuge Liang's arrangement, Huo Qubing's cavalry launched a surprise attack on Qingzhou and broke into the Qingzhou Palace when Zhao Heng was caught off guard.

Then Qingzhou fell into chaos, with the government troops and the navy fighting each other, and were easily defeated by Huo Qubing.

Li Changan opened the black box, and Zhao Heng's wretched and aggrieved old face closed his eyes completely.

The two armies of King Zhao Kai of Shu and King Zhao Heng of Jing'an have been completely wiped out.

"Huo Qubing, I order you to lead 40,000 elite cavalry to attack Jiange Pass from behind!"

The White-Robed Guanyin and the Walang Tribe had been in a stalemate with Gu Jiantang's 80,000-strong army at Jiange Pass for several days, and were now at a stalemate.

White-robed Guanyin is Li Changan's loyal subordinate. For her own sake and for the sake of the Waleng tribe, she has tried her best this time, with almost the entire army of 5,000 monks and 100,000 soldiers mobilized.

However, Jiange Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the Liyang Dynasty's general Gu Jiantang is personally guarding it. Now, the place is littered with corpses and blood is flowing like a river.

Huo Qubing knew that if Gu Jiantang was eliminated, the entire Western Shu and Qingzhou would be under Li Changan's command.

Two more states will be added to the territory of the Tang Dynasty!

Once Gu Jiantang evacuates or is eliminated, the plan to encircle Li Changan in Li Yang will basically fail, and the only enemies left will be Xu Xiao and Bei Mang.

"The last general takes command!"

Huo Qubing led his troops away, and Li Changan also took Wu Liuding and four others to continue heading north. They still had to deal with the powerful enemies on both sides, Xu Xiao and Beimang.

Xu Xiao, this old turtle, broke his usual habit and did nothing this time.

Although Zhuge Liang and Gu Dazu personally guarded Liangzhou and confronted Xu Xiao, the battle line was too long after all, and the Northern Liang army had the upper hand.

In fact, if Xu Xiao sent a large army into Liangzhou, looted the county town, and massacred the people, Li Changan would suffer some losses, but that would also make him a great enemy of Li Changan.

The reason why he didn't do so was because he didn't want to help the Liyang court at all. He wanted to preserve Beiliang's existing strength and foundation.

Being at odds with Li Changan would only benefit Li Yang. It must be said that Xu Xiao had a good strategic vision.

A day later, Li Changan entered Liangzhou.

Just as they entered the territory of Liangzhou and crossed a fast-flowing river, the atmosphere in the sky suddenly changed, and a huge dark cloud condensed and spun rapidly in the air.

"Your Highness, it's the sword intention!"

There were countless sharp sword intentions in the clouds in the sky. Jiang Si and others quickly drew their swords and were on guard.

"You guys step back, you can't handle this guy."

Li Changan dismissed several of his men, and then waited for the dark cloud to slowly condense, and then exploded with bursts of muffled thunder!

Immediately afterwards, bright stars twinkled in the dark clouds.

A faint smile flashed across Li Changan's lips, and he had already guessed who the visitor was.

Those stars are the tips of flying swords!
Thousands of precious swords fell from the sky, this must be the work of a sword cultivator at the immortal level on earth!
Li Chungang and Deng Tai'a have already repaid Xu Xiao's favor and will not become his enemies.

The only one who has the ability to borrow a sword from a thousand miles away is probably the sword-swallowing old man Sui Xiegu.

The master of Xishu Sword Emperor and Jian Jiuhuang, a loyal licker of Tan Tai Pingjing. Tan Tai Pingjing is also a licker of her master Wuming Taoist.

Li Changan has traveled through two lives, and what he hates most are creatures like lickers.

Fan Jian, Cao Changqing, Sui Xiegu, and Hong Xixiang, no matter how powerful these people are or how high their status is, Li Changan does not have the slightest favorable impression on them.

A good man with great abilities, but he cannot understand the beauty of a woman. He has been in a humble unrequited love for decades, which is simply a waste of his life.

waste.

Sure enough, a powerful voice came from the sky, "Three million Heavenly Sword Immortals..."

Before he finished reading the domineering and heroic declaration, Li Changan suddenly frowned and waved his hand lightly.

Then, the wind and clouds between heaven and earth began to churn, and countless ice blades flew out from the river beneath their feet!

"You, Sui Xiegu, are worthy of being called a sword immortal!"

One after another, ice blades shot back into the air, piercing cleanly into the clouds and colliding violently with the stars!

With this collision, the clouds were suddenly broken apart, and thousands of flying swords were all frozen by the ice blades that were speeding past!
In an instant, these swords turned into ice swords, and together with the ice blades that Li Changan drew from the river, they smashed down from the air hundreds of miles away!
The one-armed old man Sui Xiegu was horrified. He didn't expect that the sword he borrowed would be coming towards him!
He was running through the mountains and fields in panic, with thousands of ice swords densely packed behind him!
The ice sword flattened the mountaintops and razed the jungles, destroying them with ease!
Sui Xiegu was chased everywhere and fled for hundreds of miles before the ice blade was used up by the rocky mountains and dense forests along the way.

"Who is this Li Changan?"

"Xiao Tantai, ah Xiao Tantai, you really know how to raise questions..."

Sui Xiegu once exchanged an arm with the peak Li Chungang, and his strength was still very strong among the immortals on earth.

He thought that Li Changan, the newly advanced land immortal, would not be able to withstand his borrowing of the sword from a thousand miles away. Unexpectedly, Li Changan not only withstood it, but also turned the borrowed sword into an ice sword.

Sui Xiegu weighed the pros and cons and felt that he could not kill Li Changan now. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Li Changan coming on a cloud.

Sui Xiegu had lived for so many years, but he had never seen a land immortal who could ride a cloud. He couldn't help but take a breath, "What a weird boy!"

"Well, Li Changan, let's stop fighting today. I'll borrow a few famous swords and then we'll fight."

Li Changan said expressionlessly, "You seemed to be trying to save my life just now."

Sui Xiegu laughed and said, "No, no, I'm just testing your strength."

As he spoke, he had already rushed out several dozen feet, obviously trying to escape.

The sword-swallowing old man took a step forward, thinking that he had the upper hand and that escape would be no problem, and then he could find a few famous swords to kill Li Changan.

But at this moment, a sound that made his heart tremble came from behind him.

"Sui Xiegu, stay!"

Sui Xiegu was horrified and once again amazed at Li Changan's methods.

He hasn't been disturbed by anyone for more than ten years. There is something strange about this Li Changan!
