The man's red eyes glanced at Xia Jie. The invisible force was like a blade, and it hit Xia Jie hard, sending him flying hundreds of feet into the air, and he fell headlong into the Gangfeng layer. Qi Xin gave a clear shout and pointed her finger, and a blue-purple vine as thin as gossamer quickly wrapped around Xia Jie. With a shake of her jade arm, she pulled him back from the strong wind. In the blink of an eye, Gangfeng had already stripped Xia Jie clean, not to mention all the clothes on his body were ruined, and even a layer of his skin was almost peeled off.
The three dark purple-red wounds were so dazzling on Xia Jie¡¯s yellow skin, one on his heart, one on his dantian, and one on his forehead. There was no blood in the three wounds, and the flesh there was sunken into the body. Soon, the sunken areas were filled with blood, and the three wounds became purple and translucent, looking very ferocious. Scary.
Pushing Xia Jie to the ground with one hand, Qi Xin pulled out a jade knife and cut open the wound on Xia Jie's body three times with "chichichi". The bruise inside jumped up to a height of more than a foot with a "pop" sound. Xia Jie snorted, opened his mouth and spat out a piece of black blood, and took a long breath: "Be careful, this guy's attack comes and goes without a trace, it is very difficult to prevent." He lay on the ground, letting Qi Xin attack him. He applied ointment to his wounds, but he didn't have the strength to stand up for a while. This man's gaze was so lethal that Xia Jie's ribs were broken three times, and he really had no strength left.
Tai Yi snorted in a low voice: "Is it the magic of divine spells? You are tied up so tightly, do you want to deal with us just with the divine spells emitted by your eyes?"
With a groan, a wave of air rolled out from Taiyi's body. The original witchcraft staff trembled. Taiyi pinched the witch seal with both hands and walked around the ground muttering something. The witchcraft staff pointed fiercely at the Be more manly. The same invisible, colorless and silent force blasted towards the man. The man's eyes narrowed and he glared at Taiyi fiercely. Only countless cries and howls of ghosts could be heard. The void between Tai Yi and the man suddenly collapsed. Countless green and purple ghost heads trembled there for a while. After screaming a few times, they finally dissipated. invisible.
The man was startled and said gloomily: "You shamans, just wait until your clan is exterminated. I will go to the Heavenly Court and report this situation to the Emperor of Heaven."
He smiled strangely and looked at Qi Xin, Holy Mother Jin Ling, and Holy Mother Turtle Spirit a few times, and said with a strange smile: "You three, just wait obediently to be my concubines. In the future, you will be well-dressed and well-fed. It will be of great benefit to you." Amidst the obscene laughter, he was surrounded by colorful clouds. The cloud platform slowly rose upwards, and the man was about to escape.
Zhao Gongming, riding a black tiger, suddenly appeared from above the man. Zhao Gongming sneered and said: "Are you also a god with your kind of mind?" He raised his left hand, and a golden light turned into a dragon and pounced on the man, tying him up tightly. The man exclaimed. Before he could figure out what the golden light was, Zhao Gongming rode a black tiger and jumped down from above his head. A golden whip struck him in the face. Zhao Gongming's golden whip was also a treasure. When the whip struck, the man's face blossomed, and his face almost hit the back of his head.
"You, dare to hurt the gods?" The man howled in disbelief.
"Hurt the God? So what if you kill the God?" Master Yuding retracted the three-pointed two-edged knife, and it was like a bolt of lightning passing over the man's body. At that moment, Master Yuding swung millions of knives, and the dense sword energy condensed into an indestructible sword, splitting the man's spine.
Twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls fell from Zhao Gongming's hand one after another. Each Dinghai Divine Pearl has the power to open the sky. Twenty-four balls of colorful light hit the man's body, causing the chains on his body to crack into countless tiny lines. The blast made the man scream again and again, his mouth opened wide, and his teeth spurted out more than a dozen mouthfuls of blood. .
Taoist Duobao, Guangchengzi and the other qi masters sneered in unison, and all kinds of magical weapons came out, hitting the man hard. In the loud noise, the man's body was almost blown to pieces. The two amethyst pillars that imprisoned him became his magic weapon to save his life. Most of the destructive energy flowed along the chains to the two amethyst pillars. The pillars cracked, and the colorful dragons broke into pieces. The block fell down, the cloud platform trembled, and tongues of fire spurted out from the cracks in the cloud platform, burning the sky red.
"I, it hurts your mind? Isn't this the first time you've done this?" Wu Yi laughed ferociously. He remembered the time when Lu Gui shot off the finger of a god with a sun-shooting bow.
The ten great witch masters took action at the same time. They jointly cast the most vicious and vicious witchcraft they had mastered. Ten rays of light blasted into the man's body. The man who was beaten to the point of collapse by the Qi Refiners roared to the sky. With a sound, the soul was instantly shattered by the witchcraft. His body finally collapsed, and together with the amethyst pillar and the cloud platform, they were blown away by the strong wind and turned into ashes.
"It's pitiful." Xia Jie shook his head, looked at the place where the man disappeared, and sighed with gloating. This guy is the so-called Heaven Patrol Guard. Although he is a prisoner, his strength cannot be underestimated. With Xia Jie's current strength, he could easily be injured by his three gazes. One can only imagine how powerful he would be in his prime. It's a pity that this guy's character is so bad that he actually teased Qi Xin, the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, and the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit. Isn't this looking for death?
Don't talk about Taoist Duobao and this group of Qi refiners, let's talk about the ten great witch masters in Daxia. If they join forces to attack, ordinary lower gods are really no match for them, let alone a patrolman who has been imprisoned for who knows how many years. Woolen cloth? I can only blame this guy's bad luck.
After experiencing this turmoil, the construction project of Zhentian Tower became ordinary. With a fixed loss of 80,000 to 120,000 craftsmen every day, the Tower of Zhentian climbed rapidly upward at an average speed of 200 to 250 miles per day. Twenty days later, the Tianzhen Tower finally passed through the first Gangfeng layer.
Everyone relaxed a little, but the relaxed mood did not last long. Because the second Gangfeng layer is only a few hundred miles away from the first Gangfeng layer. According to the construction speed of the Tianzhen Tower, they will enter the second level of Gangfeng in three days. According to the records of the Hidden Witch Palace, the Gangfeng layer set up by Heaven is specifically to prevent the creatures on the ground from entering the Heaven. Therefore, each layer is stronger than the previous layer, and the weakening power of the Great Witch is getting stronger and stronger.
The second Gangfeng layer was only a little over a thousand feet thick, but the Gangfeng contained a large amount of black ice crystals. Just to survive this layer of Gangfeng, the craftsmen lost 300,000 people. In particular, dozens of 'Ice Chi' appeared in this layer of Gangfeng. The great witches who oversaw the work were all killed and injured by the Ice Chi. Thousands of people were injured, and the casualties were quite serious.
The third layer of Gangfeng layer is a hundred miles thick and contains the three poles of heavenly fire, among which there is also the strange beast ¡®Golden Eyed Fire Crow¡¯. The craftsmen lost millions.
The fourth layer of strong wind is no more than three feet thick, and its wind is as powerful as a knife. An ordinary witch can barely survive a cup of tea if cut by the wind. The loss of the craftsmen was one hundred thousand.
The fifth layer of Gangfeng is ten miles thick and contains five poisonous black sands. The poisonous sand naturally breeds a group of strange poisonous insects. When we passed through this layer of Gangfeng, fortunately, the great shaman of Li Wu Palace led by Qi Xin was in charge, and the poison was detoxified in time, but only a few hundred craftsmen were killed or injured.
The sixth layer of the Gangfeng is a hundred miles thick. The Gangfeng is green-blue, with purple clouds sliding rapidly through it. The flowing clouds collide with each other, producing countless thunder and lightning fires, which is the most violent layer of wind. Facing the thunder and lightning that struck at all times, even though the Ling Wu Zun of the Ling Wu Temple led tens of thousands of great witches to desperately use witchcraft to divide and guide the thunder and lightning, more than two million craftsmen were killed and injured.
The seventh floorthe eighth floorthe ninth floor
Moreover, there are also patrol guards stationed by the Heavenly Court in several layers of Gangfeng. It's just that Xia Jie and the others have already had experience. Once they see those tightly tied patrol guards appear, they immediately gather the power of everyone and beat them randomly, directly smashing the patrol guards into pieces, so it is these patrol guards who are responsible for the damage. The loss is minimal.
So another year has passed.
Xia Jie was so busy at the Tianzhen Tower that he didn¡¯t even have time to be gentle with Qixin. Xingtian Dafeng brothers were jumping around like their butts were on fire. The Black Boy Army and Xuanbiao Army, which had expanded to one million troops, were still suppressing the rebellious tribes in northern Xinjiang today. The next day, they received military orders and rushed to southern Xinjiang to massacre several rebellious tribes. The blood on the butcher's knife is still dripping. Two or three more vassal states in Western Xinjiang have announced that they are leaving the protection of Daxia and are preparing to join the Hu Jie people collectively. A group of brothers and sisters are about to lead the army to the west. As a result, while they were still on the road, they heard that a large tribe in Eastern Xinjiang had all surrendered to the Dongyi people
There were three hundred and sixty-five days in this year, and the Xingtian brothers spent three hundred days on horseback. According to what Xingtian Dafeng complained to Xia Jie when he passed by the Tianzhen Tower: "The calluses on my butt are thicker than the body of Jiuding Great Witch!"
Within two years of the construction of the Tianzhen Tower, more than 300 tribes in Daxia rebelled. Because most of the elites in Daxia have been deployed to protect the Tianzhen Tower, and a small number of other elites have to guard important city gates such as Anyi City, so the only ones who can be dispatched to counter the rebellion are the Black Sword Army and the Xuan Biao's army has two rangers.
The continuous rebellions have caused the military achievements of Xingtian Dafeng brothers to skyrocket, and they have even been given formal positions in the military department. But at the same time, there were overwhelming rumors among the people under the rule of Daxia, and there was a large-scale collective flight of some people from the subject countries and tribes who were forced to live in a state that was really unable to live
But all this is simply not worth caring about for the aloof Daxia ruling class. Civilians are like ants, so what if they all die?
With one request after another from the Tianzhen Tower Supervisor,??Official documents that replenished a large amount of precious materials such as jade and fine gold were continuously sent to the royal court, and Daxia sent more and more officials to search the world. They swept across the land like locusts, sweeping through villages and towns that were originally rich and abundant, sweeping across grasslands, forests, lakes, and rivers. Wherever they passed, people's livelihoods were in decline, and the people really could hardly survive. Not to mention the people who belong to the country, even the people in Daxia have their eyes turned red and about to bleed.
??Corruption has been the same principle since ancient times.
If the Zhentian Pagoda Supervisor requested to replenish one million square meters of raw jade, the order from the royal court would have turned it into 1.2 million square meters. After the edict was obtained by the officials of the Supervisory House, the amount announced was 1.5 million square meters. When the officials who went to the local government to mobilize the original jade spoke, it would become two million cubic meters or more.
Raw jade is like this, fine gold is like this, silver, bronze, red copper, the blood of ferocious beasts and other materials are all like this.
Those officials asked for the insufficient amount to be replaced with various other materials. Land deeds, land deeds, beautiful women, handsome boys, livestock skins, precious herbs, etc., as long as they are valuable, can be used to offset materials such as jade and fine gold at a 35% discount
As the Tianzhen Tower gets taller and taller, more and more materials are needed, and the appetites of the subordinate officials in the Governor's Mansion are getting bigger and bigger, and more and more flowers are being pulled out, and the people's property is also robbed. The number is getting bigger and bigger. In the end, wherever the officials of the Supervisory Office went, not only did the people retreat as if they were seeing the god of plague, but even ordinary Daxia officials did not dare to deal with them.
Gradually, the people in some remote places in Daxia were squeezed to the point where they could no longer survive. One by one, they abandoned the inheritance left by their ancestors and fled Daxia.
Between heaven and earth, within Kyushu, and in the boundless territory around Daxia, there is only one place that can be regarded as a paradise, a place where people can live in peace - the territory of the Shang clan.
Shang Tang had been friends with Lu Gui since childhood, and the two were close friends of life and death. When Lu Gui was still a prince, Shang Tang provided almost all the mounts, military pay, and some taboo items needed for his private army. As for the Shang clan, they also received a large number of much-needed weapons, armor, and even salt, fine wine and other luxuries from Lu Gui. In particular, Shang Tang and Lu Gui experienced several assassinations together. Shang Tang saved Lu Gui from assassins' swords several times. The two are really close friends.
In addition, Xia Jie and Shang Tang had a good personal relationship. Taoist Tongtian also built a new dojo in the territory of the Shang clan. Through Taoist Tongtian, the Shang clan and the Xingtian family also established friendship and relations. Who with a discerning eye would touch the Shang clan?
Therefore, the documents from the Governor's Office were sent to all the vassal forces in Daxia. Only the Shang clan was still in peace, but they were only required to provide tens of thousands of livestock for food every month.
As more and more refugees fled from the vassal forces of Daxia in Daxia, Shangtang, who had become the clan leader with the full support of Taoist Tongtian, immediately opened the door to the Shang clan and began to recruit refugees. In just two years, the number of Shang people has increased by more than twenty times.
The Shang clan is not large in scale, but the number of people it has increased by more than twenty times in two years is a lot of fun.
The anxious Shang Tang had no choice but to beg Taoist Tongtian, who took him straight to Zhentian Tower and found Xia Jie.
As soon as they met, Shang Tang bowed deeply to Xia Jie and said, "Brother Xia Jie, this time Shang Tang, I have something to ask of you."
Before Xia Jie could figure out the cause and effect of the matter, Shang Tang couldn't wait to grab his hand and said with a big smile: "Brother Xia Jie, lease your clan land to my Shang clan with a radius of ten thousand and eight thousand miles." stop!"
Xia Jie was completely dumbfounded. Leasing clan land? Leasing the clan land of Wan'er eight thousand miles away? Is this too much of an appetite?
