Chapter 2483 A succession of bad news
Chapter 2479: Bad news one after another
Poof…
Lu Yue spat out a mouthful of old blood, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and his whole body's aura quickly weakened, but he grinned miserably and said:
“Master, he is really partial. He only gives good things to your inner sect, but never teaches me to wait for the outer sect.
If I could also master the Qing Dynasty Treasure Record and practice physical magic, I would never be defeated by you so easily. "
"snort."
Li Cunxiao snorted coldly and said in a cold voice: "Master can't bear to kill you bugs, but instead accepts you as a registered disciple. He wants to restrain and teach you scum, so that you will stop doing evil and return to the right path.
But you have such a hard-wired nature that you failed to live up to the good intentions of Master and his old man, and you shamelessly said such shameless words.
In my opinion, the master should have killed you directly from the beginning. "
What Li Cunxiao said was reasonable, but Lu Yue was completely bad. He didn't think he had done anything wrong at all. Instead, he thought it was the Shangqing Taoist's refusal to teach him Shangqing's secret skills that brought him to his current end.
"Haha, my junior brother is the winner. Of course you can say whatever you want, but don't be complacent. You will be accompanying me soon."
After saying that, Lu Yue put down his palm and fell to the ground, while Li Cunxiao's shoulder, which was hard to be damaged by a sword, had a purple mark.
Seeing this, Li Cunxiao frowned slightly and asked, "What did you do?"
Lu Yue's anger was like a thread, and he said intermittently: "No, I didn't do anything, I just condensed my lifelong poison skills into this, the Five Poison Plague Seal, and penetrated it into your body, that's all. "
Jia Fu and Wen Zhong on the other side changed their expressions upon hearing this.
Five Poison Plague Marks? This name doesn't sound like a good thing at first sight.
Wen Zhong said angrily: "What exactly are these five poison plague seals, and how can they be unlocked?"
Lu Yue’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper, as if he might die at any time, but he still managed to say:
“The Five Poison Plague Seal is a curse seal that I developed on the basis of the Five Poison Seal, which is the secret of the Five Poison Sect, and combined with my own plague secret technique.
The Five Poison Plague Seal can only be used once in a person's life, but once it enters your body, it will live with you.
It will absorb your power and continue to grow, and then continue to corrupt your body. Even if you have the late-stage cultivation of a great master, you will still be dead. "
…
Jia Fu took a breath of cold air, and at the same time he was a little glad that he didn't take action, otherwise the target of Lu Yue's deathbed counterattack would probably be himself, and the five poisonous plague marks that would kill him in the later stage of the great master would also fall on him. .
Wen Zhong was completely anxious when he heard this. He took Li Cunxiao's hand and said, "Junior brother, let's go back to Kunlun immediately. Master, I am sure there is a way to save you."
“Senior brother, don’t worry, I don’t have any idea.” Li Cunxiao asked.
“Junior brother, it’s time now, so don’t hold on any longer and come back to Kunlun with me.” Wen Zhong said anxiously.
There's no rush, Li Cunxiao is the hope of the Shangqing sect. If he has any shortcomings, the entire Shangqing sect won't be able to find another Li Cunxiao.
Li Cunxiao remained calm and composed and said with a smile:
“Senior brother, don’t worry. The Five Poison Plague Seals used by Lu Yue, a mere half-step grandmaster, can’t do anything to me, my junior brother.”
Li Cunxiao smiled and comforted Wen Zhonglai, but Lu Yue on the other side sneered: "It seems that you can't shed tears without seeing the coffin, little junior brother. This Five Poison Plague Seal is even for the late Grand Master. What? This, this How is that possible?"
Li Cunxiao sat down cross-legged in front of Lu Yue and began to use his power to force out poison.
Li Cunxiao just moved his kung fu to his shoulders, and black smoke began to appear on the purple Five Poison Plague Seal. Apparently, he was resisting Li Cunxiao's kung fu while releasing toxins to corrode Li Cunxiao's body.
The next shocking scene happened. The poison released by the five poisonous plague marks that Lu Yue said was fatal to the great master was actually refined by Li Cunxiao.
After Li Cunxiao refined the toxins, he continued to use his energy to refine the Five Poison Plague Seals in one fell swoop.
However, the Five Poison Plague Seal is extremely stubborn, and only the edges have been refined even a little bit.
However, since he can refine even a little bit, it means that as long as Li Cunxiao continues to attack and refine this poison seal over many years, sooner or later he will be able to refine all the five poison plague seals.
After refining a trace of the Five Poison Plague Seal, Li Cunxiao's heart moved and he bit his finger and forced the poisonous blood out of his body.
As for the ownerless pure power that remains in the body?
After Li Cunxiao thought for a while, he chose to absorb it all, and just such a trace of pure skill allowed him to return to the late master stage.
…
Li Cunxiao let out a long breath, smiled at Lu Yue and said, "Thank you so much for your last gift, senior brother. I am really grateful, senior brother."
When Wen Zhong and Jia Fu saw this, they were a little confused and did not understand the meaning of Li Cunxiao's words.
Lu Yue's eyes widened in anger, he pointed at Li Cunxiao and was speechless. Then he tilted his head and was so angry that he died.
Lu Yue saw that after Li Cunxiao refined the Five Poison Plague Seal, he sent the poison out of the body, but kept the remaining pure internal power for himself.
In other words, the Five Poison Plague Seals that he had condensed with all his strength not only failed to poison Li Cunxiao to death, but actually made him a wedding dress for his disciple.
How can Lu Yue accept that his decades of skill have been used to advantage Li Cunxiao in vain? That's why he will die with his eyes closed.
Even until his death, Lu Yue couldn't figure out why his Five Poison Plague Seal could be refined by Li Cunxiao, even if it was the late-stage Gang Qi of the Grand Master.
Even if Li Cunxiao is the most powerful general in the world, why can't he go against common sense like this?
In fact, Lu Yue exhausted his winning power and condensed the five poison seals, which can indeed poison people in the later stages of the Grand Master.
But not only could Li Cunxiao not be killed by the poison, but he was also refined by it. This was mainly because Li Cunxiao was a special grand master who combined the dual skills.
The energy level of the Five Poison Seals is higher than the Grand Master's Gang Qi, but weaker than the ability level of the Dual Gong Master's Gang Qi, so it was refined by Li Cunxiao.
Of course, Li Cunxiao has not yet recovered to the level of Grand Master. He can only use Grandmaster level skills to activate it, and can only refine a little bit. Although he can refine it, the process will definitely be slow.
After listening to Li Cunxiao's story, Jia Fu and Wen Zhong looked at each other.
After a long time, Lu Yue's dying counterattack not only failed to cause any harm to Li Cunxiao, but also brought considerable benefits.
Jia Fu's eyes were full of envy. Of course, if such a good thing happened to him, he would not be able to bear it. After all, he could not integrate the dual skills.
Li Cunxiao's eyes were full of joy. This time he got it right and it was a blessing in disguise.
Lu Yue’s lifelong skills are stored in the Five Poison Plague Seal. As long as he keeps refining it and absorbs the pure skills, his recovery speed can be accelerated.
Of course, Li Cunxiao did not intend to do this. After all, he did not lack the time to recover.
This unexpected acquisition of the Five Poison Plague Seal was a rare opportunity for Li Cunxiao. If it was only used to restore his realm, it would be too wasteful.
So, Li Cunxiao planned to use the power in the Five Poison Plague Seal to consolidate his own foundation and strengthen his own heritage.
This approach naturally has advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that it allows Li Cunxiao to go faster and farther in the realm of grand master.
The disadvantage is that suppressing and refining the Five Poison Plague Seal will definitely take a lot of energy and time from Li Cunxiao, so it will take longer to recover to the Grand Master. Originally, Li Cunxiao only needed one and a half years in China to become a Grand Master again, but now he has a five-poison plague mark on his body, and it will take at least five years to recover.
However, for the future of martial arts, such a price is simply not worth mentioning to Li Cunxiao, and he even wishes he could do it a few more times.
I have to say that Lu Yue had done many evil things, but before he died, he did something good. He used his lifelong skills to broaden Li Cunxiao's future.
【Dingdong, Jiwu 107 Lu Yue, was killed by Li Cunxiao, reward: permanent +1 charm attribute;
Current Li Cunxiao: Commander 95 (+2), Force 111 (+2), Intelligence 76 (+1), Politics 68 (+1), Charisma 101 (+3). 】
【Ding dong, Jia Fu participated in the siege and killing of Lu Yue, reward: permanent +1 charm attribute;
Current Jia Fu: Commander 93 (+1), Force 105, Intelligence 79 (+1), Politics 73 (+1), Charisma 97 (+12);]
Jia Fu's initial charm attribute was only 85, but after experiencing major events such as the killing of Yuan Emperor Temujin, the **** battle with Lulongsai, etc., the charm attribute increased by 12 points, reaching 97 points. However, compared with the charm Li Cunxiao, who is 101, still has a certain gap.
As for Wen Zhong, he only participated in the pursuit and did not fight Lu Yue, so naturally there was no reward.
Successfully killing the hidden danger of Lu Yue, everyone's goal has been achieved, and the next step is to return.
Jia Fu and Wen Zhong were ready to return to the army, but Li Cunxiao separated from them on the grounds that the time had not come yet and it was not appropriate to reveal their identities and went to join the three Yunxiao sisters.
What Li Cunxiao and the three of them didn't know was that not long after they left the mouth of Ziwu Valley with their front legs, Li Ke came with a remnant army with his rear legs.
Li Keyong's right-wing army was attacked by Gongsun Yan and Gongsun Xuanyuan and was defeated after not holding on for long.
Kang Anyu, who was at the peak level of a divine general, was surrounded by Yue Yun and Xuanyuan. First, his weapon was knocked away by Yue Yun, and then his horse was shot down by Xuanyuan. Finally, he was lucky enough to be captured alive.
General Xu Rong, who was at the same level as Li Keyong, was also caught up by Yue Yun and was knocked unconscious and captured alive.
Only Li Keyong and Shi Jingtang were left, leading more than a hundred remnant troops. Unfortunately, they escaped the pursuit, but they did not dare to escape back to Chang'an. After all, the road leading to Chang'an was full of Qin army pursuers. In the past, it was equal to It is seeking death.
Li Ke thought about it and thought that he could no longer stay in Guanzhong. After this defeat, Chang'an could not be defended for a long time, so he prepared to escape from Ziwu Valley back to Hanzhong, but he did not expect that there were traces of the Qin army here in Ziwu Valley.
“General, we have searched all over and found no enemy troops except for some blood stains.” Shi Jingtang said.
Lv Yue's body was taken away by Li Cunxiao.
Although Lu Yue is a bastard, he is a member of the Shangqing sect after all, and he also helped Li Cunxiao a lot.
Li Cunxiao couldn't bear to abandon the other party's body in the wilderness, so he brought Lu Yue's body back and prepared to bury it.
Li Keyong was relieved when he heard this and sighed: "It seems that the Qin army has left. In order to prevent the Qin army from pursuing them, everyone should seize the time and try to cross the Ziwu Valley as soon as possible."

On the other side, after Jia Fu and Wen Zhong returned, the war was completely over.
After the defeat of the Tang army, Wang Jian, Xuanyuan, Wen Zhong, Gongsun Yan, and Bismarck followed in pursuit, killing and capturing a large number of Tang army soldiers.
The cavalry troops of Wang Jian and Bismarck even pursued the Tang army before returning.
There are still many Tang troops in Chang'an City, and Wang Jian's cavalry does not have the ability to attack the city, so withdrawal is inevitable.
After counting after the war, the Qin army killed a total of 20,000 Tang troops and captured 25,000 Tang troops in the Battle of Haojing.
Of the 60,000 Tang troops before the war, a total of 45,000 were lost, leaving only 15,000 remnants. Under the leadership of Li Shimin, they fled back to Chang'an in embarrassment.
They were unable to annihilate all Li Shimin's troops. There was nothing they could do about it.
The Haojing ruins are not far from Chang'an. In addition, the battle is on a plain, and Wang Jian's side is short of manpower. It is impossible to completely annihilate Li Shimin. It is already quite good to achieve such a result.
Wang Jian used 30,000 infantry and cavalry to defeat Li Shimin's 60,000 army head-on. The price he paid was naturally not small.
According to statistics, the Qin army suffered a total of 8,993 casualties in this battle, losing nearly one-third of its troops.
However, compared with the result of killing 20,000 enemies and capturing 25,000 prisoners, the casualties of the Qin army are simply not worth mentioning and are completely within the tolerable range.
It is worth mentioning that the Qin army killed and captured a large number of Tang army generals in this battle.
The Qin army captured a total of more than 20 generals in this battle: Changsun Wuji, Xu Rong, Ma Shanwei, Xin Wenli, Kang Anyu, Kang Junli, Guo Chongtao, Shi Jingsi, Nangong Shi and other generals.
They also include the God of War, Ma Shanwei, and the two top generals, Xin Wenli and Kang Anyu.
As for the generals who were killed, they included: Gao Sixiang, Lu Yue, Chen Geng, Li Ping, Zhou Xin, Li Qi, Zhu Tianlin, Yang Wenhui, Zhu Youqian, Ji Shuqian, Ji Shukun, Ji Shuming, Ji Shusheng, Ji Shude, Cao Bao and more than 40 people. .
If we say that in the original battle at Hangu Pass, Li Cunxiao defeated half of the Tang Dynasty's combat power by himself.
Now, Wang Jian relied on the victory at Haojing to defeat the other half of the Tang army's combat strength.
After this battle, the Tang army, which was still stubbornly resisting, no longer had the capital to resist the Qin army, and could only linger on, quietly waiting for its end.
————
Changan.
Li Shimin didn't know how he came back. He only knew that after giving the order to retreat, all his strength seemed to be drained from his body, and his vision went dark and he fainted.
This defeat was a huge blow to Li Shimin. It was not that he had lost before, but this was the first time he had lost so completely, so he couldn't accept it.
When Li Shimin opened his eyes, he had already returned to Chang'an, but what happened in front of him made his vision go dark again, and he almost fainted again.
Until Li Shimin returned from defeat, the massacre against the aristocratic families not only did not end, but intensified.
When Li Shimin saw this scene, he felt his heart bleed and shouted: "Everyone, please stop it."
Li Shimin was so angry that he vomited a large mouthful of blood. After a few words, he fainted and fell off the horse, but was caught by Li Yuanba on the side.
“Second brother, second brother.”
Li Yuanba was so anxious that he kept shaking Li Shimin, but he couldn't wake him up. He had to ask someone to take Li Shimin to see a doctor first.
After sending Li Shimin away, Li Yuanba looked at the streets full of mourners and roared: "Didn't you hear what my second brother said? Stop killing him any more."
The soldiers recognized Li Yuanba and were shocked by Li Yuanba's reputation. After looking at each other in confusion, they finally chose to obey the order.
But some soldiers were already red-eyed and completely crazy. They didn't even listen to Li Shimin's words. How could they listen to Li Yuanba's words? So I chose to continue killing.
“So brave, looking for death.”
Li Yuanba laughed angrily, picked up a sledgehammer and rushed over, killing all the soldiers who disobeyed orders.
Under Li Yuanba's **** suppression, many soldiers woke up and no longer dared to disobey Li Yuanba, but this was just a street.
Now the whole of Chang'an is a massacre. Li Yuanba can stop the Tang army in this street, but he cannot stop the Tang army in other places.
