Chapter 323
Chapter 323
The sky was gloomy. Although the rain was not heavy, it was still falling. However, it could not wash away the blood and mud on the battlefield.
At the collapsed section of the city wall, the defenders did not care about collecting the bodies, and they were extremely nervous to transport bricks and stones to fill it.
Although the Yu Wang Army had temporarily retreated, the defenders were still on high alert. The gate tower and the city wall were full of soldiers, looking at the battlefield on the Tongtian River outside the city from afar, fearing that the Yu Wang Army would suddenly attack back.
In fact, they did not pay much attention to Qiao Xi, who was alone outside the city. No one would expect Qiao Xi to be able to break the siege of a city by himself, so they hurried to repair the city wall and prepare for another battle.
The Yu Wang Army was not so nervous. Yu Wang Qingli had established supreme power in the army with countless battles, and no one believed that he would lose.
The generals did not mention it, and the soldiers thought it was just a temporary rest. After King Yu killed his enemy and sacrificed his blood and head, it was time to attack the city.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Qing Li moved.
"Qiao Xi! Give me your life!"
She squeezed her legs hard on the horse's belly, and the divine white horse without any stray hair under her actually took her up to a height of seven or eight meters. The long spear in her hand pierced the air, making a terrifying scream.
There was a loud bang.
The soldiers felt that the ground under their feet was shaking. They looked up and saw that the ground where King Qin landed was cracked like a spider web, and then suddenly collapsed.
But Qiao Mu's figure was still standing there.
He didn't know when he had taken out King Qin's golden body, using it as a shield to hold King Yu's gun pointing to his throat. His feet were like old trees rooted in the collapsing ground under his feet, standing still like a green pine.
As the strongest half-demon, Yu Wang Qingli indeed possesses the monster-like strength that far exceeds that of ordinary people. Qiao Mu's Qin Wang Sword was trembling slightly, and the skin on the palms of his hands holding Qin Wang Sword was cracked and bleeding.
Relying solely on physical strength, Qiao Mu, as a pure-blooded human, could hardly compare with the gifted descendant of the divine bird bloodline.
But as a warrior over 700 years old, why should he let others fight foolishly?
However, Qiao Mu did not take this injury seriously. Qiao Mu's expression was still calm. He waved his arms, and a pale white body-penetrating energy burst out from his limbs.
He raised his hand with all his strength, knocked the spear away from King Yu's hand, and asked in a deep voice:
"King Yu, Qing Li?"
"You told others that you wanted to kill me to avenge the blood feud of Xishan Village."
"But we are not new acquaintances. You have known for a long time that the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear" fell into my hands."
"Are you really here to seek revenge? You don't seem to be such a stupid person."
"Because others put the blame on you, you have a grudge, and then you become enemies and fight to the death. This is an old story that even the storytellers in Tide Tower don't care about. Are you serious?"
Although Qiao Mu and Qing Li were not familiar with each other, they had been together in Taotie City for a while, and they knew each other.
"...Why not?"
Qing Li did not say anything, but waved the spear in his hand, and every time he stabbed, he pointed directly at Qiao Mu's throat, and the spear was as powerful as water.
In the continuous drizzle, two warriors fought a life-and-death battle on the banks of Tongtian River.
Both of them were top-notch warriors with strength far beyond the human body. Every time the weapons collided, sparks flashed and dull sounds that chilled people's hearts continued.
The ground cracked and sank, and the sharp sound of the weapons breaking the wind whistled past.
"This human warrior can actually fight with the feather king?" Behind the army formation, the female demon Yuli couldn't help but be moved.
The most powerful warrior in Southwest Province is Qingli, who practices mortal martial arts as a half-demon.
As for Qingli, there are few super-class warriors in the entire Southwest Province martial arts world, and their strength is far inferior to her.
Since Qingli debuted as the "Spear Saint Disciple", he has been invincible and no one in the world can match him. He is not in vain.
If there are any rivals for the half-demons or demons in this world, I think it is the immortal cultivators.
However, this Qiao family warrior from Zhongzhou is much stronger than Yuli expected, and he can actually take the spear in the hand of the feather king.
"Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix Spear·Fire Phoenix Spreads Across the Fields!"
Qing Li's eyes were calm but sharp. She leaped off her horse, her figure flying across the sky like a wild goose, and the spear in her hand pierced the air, making a sharp whistle.
Qing Li practiced the killing move of Fire Phoenix Spreading Across the Fields with Qiao Mu every day when she was in Taotie City.
At that time, it was not a life-and-death fight, not even a sparring match, it could only be said to be a feeding move.
But this time was different.
With this spear, Qing Li's body was like a wild goose, and the spear in her hand was like a meteor that streaked across the sky, with a bright spark on the tip of the spear.
"It's Yu Wang's Fire Phoenix..." Yu Li's eyes flashed with reverence: "The spear is burning, like a fire phoenix across the sky."
"It's not an internal force move, but purely relying on the flesh, with extreme force and speed, to perform this martial art like a fire meteor. Is Yu Wang going to end the battle with one blow?"
She only recently learned that Yu Wang's move was originally a martial art "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear" created by the Spear Saint, a human internal force warrior.
As a half-demon, Qing Li did not practice internal force, and the spear in his hand was not a special magic weapon, but just an extremely fast, powerful and heavy blow.
Qing Li's figure was like a fire phoenix across the sky, the spear in his hand was faintly red, and the blazing sparks dragged a brilliant flame in the air.
Dang!
Qiao Mu raised the Qin Wang Sword in his hand and tried to deflect the spear again, but in the overwhelming force, his feet plowed the ground backwards, dragging a long gully on the ground.
His hands were shaking violently, and the tiger's mouth was open and bleeding. Qiao Mu lowered his head and glanced at the King Qin sword in his hand, only to see that the golden body of King Qin, which was made of immortal blazing gold, had been deformed and distorted by the huge force.
But Qing Li didn't stop there. She followed Qiao Mu's body like a shadow, chasing Qiao Mu's body as he retreated violently. The force of his gun was like a storm, continuous and continuous.
"Qiao Rong." She waved her spear and shouted:
"Why not use the ancestral martial arts of the Qiao family to disintegrate the demon?"
"Didn't you say that the disintegration of the demon was part of your strength?"
"Since this is a life and death fight, show your true ability!"
"You really listen carefully to all the lies." Qiao Mu cursed, and then said seriously:
"This battle was fought unclearly, and I feel unhappy. Why do we want the demon to disintegrate?"
"The Qiao family can fight to the death, but they will not risk their lives for trivial matters."
This is actually true.
Qiao Mu had also used the Demon Disintegration method once before in the temporary cave in Yushan. The battle lasted only a short time, so he only needed to heal his wounds with "Thousand Changes of Flesh and Blood" for seven days before he could heal himself.
But if it is used for a short period of time, it will eventually accumulate and become a dead end.
King Yu was silent for a moment, then raised his gun and pointed at Hefu City and the dilapidated city wall behind him.
"This fight is not a trivial matter. It concerns the safety of a city, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and even the war situation in the entire southwest state... Is this reason enough?"
She said in a deep voice:
"If you are defeated, I will take your head as a sacrificial flag, and then send troops to break into the city, plunder it for three days, kill all the officials and wealthy people in the city, and then go down the river and take all the cities along the Tongtian River into my hands."
"Is this reason enough?"
Qiao Mu frowned slightly.
"Enough." He responded in a deep voice:
"However, if you force me to use the demon to disintegrate, do you want to have a hearty battle with me, or do you want to... die in my hands?"
There was no expression on Qing Li's face, just a brief silence.

She clenched her pistol tightly and stood in front of the arbor. Rainwater dripped down the barrel of the spear and fell into the mud puddle at her feet.
Neither of them spoke, and there was a brief silence, leaving only the sound of raindrops between heaven and earth.
"The Qiao family can die, why can't King Yu die?" Qing Li said coldly:
"For several months, this southwestern state has been devastated by wars and bloodshed. To say that this war is caused by me alone would be too presumptuous."
"This war started because of the Immortal Sect, but King Yu is naturally not exempt from the blame."
"Although this matter did not start because of me, it still started with me, so it should end with me."
"So..." Qiao Mu nodded:
"Do you think that if you die, you can end this war? Is this a bit naive?"
"That's naturally impossible." Qing Li sneered:
"The majestic Feather King seems to be very famous and has no rivals across the state, but in fact he is just a lackey of the Immortal Sect."
"If there is no King Yu in this world, other kings of the East, West, South, North, and South will be born in the hands of the Immortal Sect."
"If we want to end this meaningless dispute, it cannot be achieved by the death of King Yu alone." Qing Li's eyes passed over the broken city wall of Fucheng in the distance, the numerous corpses on the battlefield, and finally returned to Qiao Mu.
She didn't say everything, but the meaning was clear.
‘After my death, a new king will be born in this land. ’
‘They will gather the remnants of King Yu’s army, rise up in the name of the new king, raise the banner of resistance against Great Yan and Yunxiao Sect, and continue to fight for the common people in the world. ’
‘But these are all false, all false! All deaths and injuries are meaningless. No matter which king it is, the person behind the scenes must be the Immortal Sect Yunxiao Sect! ’
And this is the purpose of Qing Li's plan these days.
She was not simply seeking death, but she wanted to die at the hands of Qiao Mu as a Feather King who was blinded by blood feud.
With all the fame King Yu has accumulated so far, it becomes Qiao Mu's stepping stone and creates a knight-errant who kills kings!
‘After my death, a new king has not yet been born in this land. But as long as there are knights who kill kings, there is always a little hope in the hearts of the people. ’
All the planning in the past few days was just to build momentum for this, to ruin King Yu's life and reputation, and to create a king-killing knight.
The Qiao family, with their great reputation and endless supply, are the best candidates to kill the king.
"Hundred Birds Chaotic Phoenix Spear" has been obtained by Qiao Mu.
As for Qing Li, when he was still in Taotie City, he taught Qiao Mu the unique skill of the Spear Saint through many days of training and teaching.
After all, Qing Li is a half-demon, and his physical body is different from that of a mortal. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to develop inner strength using mortal martial arts.
But arbors are different.
As one of the few top martial artists in Kyushu today, if he gets the "Hundred Birds toward the Phoenix Spear", he will definitely be able to carry forward this martial art.
No matter how you look at it... Qiao Mu is a better "successor of the Spear Saint" than Qing Li, whose hands are full of blood.
"It seems that you are indeed determined to die, but I have underestimated you." Qiao Mu frowned secretly.
He felt that Qing Li in front of him indeed had an unshakable will to die, just like Hai Wuya who entered the palace that day.
Qiao Mu pointed to the dilapidated Fucheng in the distance and said:
"Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the enemy is defeated. You had a great reputation during your lifetime, but if you die in this city, you will be reviled by thousands of people and earn a lifetime of infamy."
"I asked Mr. Qiao about this before in Taotie City." Qing Li said calmly:
"Do I, a warrior, slay demons and demons in order to be appreciated by the world and win the name of chivalry?"
She looked indifferent, not showing much expression, but she was obviously a good listener, and she completely repeated Qiao Mu's answer in the Taotie City.
"The gossip ends here." Qing Li continued to attack with a spear in his hand, but his eyes gradually became firmer:
"I am different from Mr. Qiao from Taotie City."
"Mr. Qiao did not stain his hands with the blood of innocent people. The head of the Luo family and others did not die at your hands, but because monsters manipulated their minds."
"And Mr. Qiao and I have never been the same."
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!
The sound of gold and iron clashing like a heavy rain continued continuously, even overwhelming the sound of the waves of the Tongtian River.
The two of them were originally fighting by the Tongtian River. Now they were getting closer and closer to the river, and they could only hear the sound of waves.
While the two sides were talking, they did not stop holding their weapons.
On the contrary, as Yuwang Qingli's emotions gradually became more and more intense, the offensive in her hands became like a shower, getting faster and faster, becoming more and more dense, and almost airtight.
She gritted her teeth, her emotions already surging like a tidal wave.
"It is certainly not my wish to run for the Immortal Sect. Although I did it after being coerced, I have indeed become the lackey of the Immortal Sect."
"Even if I restrain my sergeants, someone will inevitably die because of me."
"Even the Tongtian River cannot wash away the blood and murder on my hands, so..."
clang!
Qing Li used his gun as a stick and swept away Qiao Mu and his sword with one sweeping blow.
"Next..."
Qing Li lowered her head slightly, and the rain wet her forehead hair and fell down her face.
When she raised her head again the next moment, there was no expression on her face, her eyes were like cold electricity, staring straight at Qiao Mu:
"The best destination for a warrior like me is to die in battle. If Mr. Qiao still has respect for me, please use your full strength." In the drizzle, King Yu held a spear and looked directly at the tree, his face solemn and firm, and he just listened She said in a deep voice:
"Please Mr. Qiao to eliminate harm for the people and kill King Yu!"
Just at this moment, lightning flashed across the sky, followed by rumbles of thunder that echoed throughout the countryside. The rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.
Qiao Mu raised the King Qin Sword in his hand and looked at Qing Li for a long time in the rain.
"Since I have the will to die..." Qiao Mu lowered his eyelids, the surging energy coming out of his body turned into blood, and the energy and blood all over his body seemed to be boiling:
"The demon is disintegrated!"
