Hell Emperor

Chapter 85 Magnolia-Elegy
"What……"

Ye Jie's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw the river split open and the Dragon Palace appeared.

The strength of General Xunhe is really so astonishing. The power of the Wild Waves Dividing Sea Sword when he displays it is completely different from what Xia Wei displays. In Xia Wei's hands, the Wild Waves Splitting Sea Sword was just a heavy slash and a horizontal slash, but in the hands of General Patrolling the River, it contained the unstoppable power of heaven and earth.

Wei Zheng separated the thousand-foot river with just one sword stroke, causing the aquatic monsters to lose their biggest geographical advantage. Once they came to the dry river bed to fight up close, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals who were familiar with water were no different from the monsters in the mountains. They were definitely not the same. A battle-hardened elite opponent.

On the side, Guazitou, who was hugged by Mint, looked anxious: "This Wild Wave Splitting Sea Sword is just the third form of the Haoran Zhengqi Sword. It is rumored that Wei Zheng mastered the nine forms of the Haoran Zhengqi Sword, and its power increased step by step, with each form becoming stronger than the last. The power of the nine movements is exerted to the extreme, enough to kill the judge on the spot. The monsters here do not have the advantage of rivers and terrain, and they are definitely no match for them..."

Yulan also frowned: "This is terrible. I didn't expect that Aunt Meng would suffer such a disaster just after she was born. Is it really God who wants to kill her?"

The soldiers took action. The halberdiers and shield soldiers in the front row took the lead and stepped into the river bed along the path cut by the river patrol general. They started a fierce battle with the monsters. Blood was spilled for a while, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

As the soldiers advanced on the riverbed, the aquatic monsters' counterattack soon came.

The towering waves on both sides are like two transparent thin film water curtains. The water curtains are filled with black shadows, containing endless dangers. The hairy crab, as huge as a hill, broke through the water curtain, splashing thousands of waves, and rushed towards the middle of the soldiers. Several shrimp-headed men jumped from the back of the hairy crab, holding long knives in their hands and rushed into the formation, bringing a bloody storm. .

However, with the excellent cooperation of the soldiers, the counterattack of the aquatic monsters seemed so weak. The shockingly powerful hairy crab was stopped in its rampage, and the shrimp-headed man who was still alive just now was also easily wiped out. The morale of the team led by Wei Zheng was at a high level, and they cleared the obstacles along the way like breaking bamboo and headed straight for Huanglong.

Without being disturbed by the pessimistic crowd, Ye Jie quickly calmed down and hurriedly said to the crowd:

"Aunt Meng will be able to survive this disaster safely. How is the investigation of the situation at the Two Realms Mountains? Is there any progress?"

Mint Cat, who was responsible for inquiring about the information, had drooped ears and sighed: "It's still the same there. No one can break the restriction and get even closer, and we haven't been able to get any information."

"Really... It seems that we have to think of other ways." Ye Jie shook his head.

With the advancement of the soldiers, the aquatic monsters were retreating steadily. No matter their own realm or the sophistication of their equipment, they were far from the opponents of the elite soldiers. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that their defeat seemed to be only a matter of time. .

Ye Jie looked at the Dragon Palace and saw a solid barrier covering the outside of the Dragon Palace. The barrier was pale white. Just looking at it from a distance gave people a sense of peace of mind. He sighed: "Now I just hope that the people outside the Dragon Palace will The protective formation can last a little longer."

On the side, Yunzhu clenched the emerald green spear in her hand. After Guazi lost her fighting ability, she became the most powerful among the wine country maids and the chief maid who carried the banner: "Once the barrier of the Dragon Palace is broken, I will fight with You. Kui, Mint, and Yulan break in together, and no matter what obstacles they encounter, they will grab Aunt Meng's reincarnation..."

Ye Jie felt something in his heart and looked towards Magnolia, only to see that the gentle and graceful Magnolia in the past now looked sad and bloodless.

Sensing Ye Jie's gaze, Yulan smiled sadly, her pretty face turned pale, like a flower about to wither, and warned: "Brother Jie, you have to take care of yourself. We, the maid, have received great kindness from Aunt Meng, even if we work hard Even if her soul is in despair, she must be protected, but you are different. You still have a long road ahead..."

The body of the soul is subject to many restrictions. With the strength of Yulan at the early stage of the third level, he cannot even defeat the slightly powerful monsters. He will easily be cut off by the sword of the general who patrols the river, let alone take such risks. Even so, she still stood up without hesitation to save the reincarnation of Aunt Meng who was in trouble.

Seeing that her eyes were moist and her tears were rolling uncontrollably, as if giving her last instructions to him, Ye Jie stepped forward and held her hand. His jade fingers, which were usually as white as jade and played with the strings, were cold now. It looks like it just came out of the freezer.

Feeling Yulan's complex emotions of worry, fear, and determination, Ye Jie comforted her and said, "Don't worry, there will definitely be a way to safely save Aunt Meng's reincarnation..."

Before Ye Jie could finish speaking, Yulan threw herself into his arms, hugged him tightly, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Jie, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Through fire and water, I'll do whatever it takes." Ye Jie patted her back, feeling the trembling calm down little by little.

"Please pay attention to my parents who are still in the world, take care of them, and after their death, don't let other ghosts oppress them, take away their virtues, and send them into reincarnation..."

Yulan expressed her worries in her heart. Facing a powerful enemy with no hope and a desperate situation, she still remembered her parents who were still alive.

"I will." Ye Jie spoke slowly, his tone was not serious, but the promise contained in it was extremely solemn, enough to convince anyone.

"If I can survive, if Aunt Meng is reincarnated and can survive this disaster safely, Brother Jie, I will definitely..." Looking at Ye Jie, Yu Lan burst into tears, and finally picked up the pipa and put all the farewell in her heart into playing on the tune.

The desolate pipa music sounded in everyone's ears. The sad and melancholy melody also contained a bit of tragedy that made people cry when they heard it. Every syllable was full of emotional suppression and explosion, and the rhythm was ups and downs, making people feel It reaches the cry and determination from the bottom of the performer’s heart. Ye Jie looked at Fuling and sighed: "With the savings in the wine country, why not hire some fourth-level impermanence, but instead put the head maid who is only third-level in strength into such a dangerous battlefield?"

Fu Ling put her hands behind her back, and the hand holding the folding fan trembled slightly, which seemed to indicate that she was not at peace inside. She shook her head and said:

"We tried, but as soon as those Wu Chang heard that they were coming to the Jing River and would most likely run into the general who patrolled the river, they refused the mission without saying a word. However, after they accepted Yin De, they also revealed An important piece of news is that a judge is already eyeing this battle, and it is best for ordinary ghosts not to act rashly. In other words, except for Brother Jie, no ghosts will come to help us."

"So that's it..." Ye Jie stopped asking any more questions. The maid from the wine country had obviously tried all kinds of methods to save Aunt Meng's reincarnation, and finally had to make this move.

Heartbreaking pipa tunes came to his ears, and Ye Jie looked lonely. The maid in the wine country who had no fight with the world was forced to be involved in this disaster. He thought of the familiar figures and the bits and pieces of the past together. , I don’t know how many people will survive after this disaster.

Looking at the tearful Magnolia and the maids who were frowning and full of worry, Ye Jie secretly swore in his heart that he would do his best to help everyone get through this crisis.

After the song ended, the broken page in Ye Jie's arms shook violently. He took out the broken page and saw brand new words appearing on it.

[Records in the Book of Life and Death:]

[In the spring of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Gui Chajie was inspired by the pipa song: The Elegy of Yishui. 】

[The power of the technique is increased by 100%. 】

[The damage received is increased by 100%. 】

[Duration: three days]

Taking the broken page back into his arms, Ye Jie said to the maids: "Xia Wei is trying to get out of trouble. As long as she can get rid of Kui Niu, she may have a chance to fight against the general who patrols the river. You stay here and wait for me to come back."

Guazi agreed: "You are right. Now that Xia Wei has mastered the Nether Spirit Art, and with such skills at her disposal, with her talent as a reincarnation of an immortal, she might not be able to fight against the general who patrols the river... If she hadn't come out. After Kui Niu's incident, with her and Moth Girl's strength, the situation will be better than it is now."

The maids were silent, just looking at Ye Jie, their eyes full of trust in him.

Ye Jie waved goodbye to them, took out the Shuodi Stone, and moved into the ghost shield with the hope in everyone's heart.

"Master..."

Seeing Ye Jie coming, Xia Wei could no longer suppress the worry in her heart and hurriedly asked: "How is it over there at Jinghe River?"

Ye Jie answered truthfully: "The situation is not optimistic. The river patrol general has cut open the river channel and is leading his army to eliminate the aquatic monsters. My friend has just been reincarnated and her life may be in danger at any time."

"General Patrolling the River..." Xia Wei gritted her teeth secretly when she mentioned that name, clenched her fists tightly, and her aura was so sharp that people dared not look directly at him. Even Li Feimo couldn't help but look sideways at him.

Li Feimo was a little curious and asked: "Do you hate General Xunhe that much? When you mention his name, your breath changes."

Xia Wei said slowly: "The Hengshan bandit killed my father and brother. Although I killed him, my revenge has not been completed. What really forced the Hengshan bandit to go around robbing babies and killing people was that ridiculous prophecy. . And all of this is the order of the general who patrols the river, and the general who patrols the river is my enemy."

Sensing the killing intent in Xia Wei's tone, Li Feimo nodded. During the time she was trapped in the ghost shield, she also listened to Xia Wei's story about her past and learned that Xia Wei was taught by Ye Jie. , a story of revenge along the way.

However, Li Feimo was keenly aware of the crux of the problem: "I heard Master say that the dynasty in Nanzhan Buzhou is like a super-large sect. Only the words of the sect leader can work, and the rest can only Even if you are an elder in the sect, what if you deal with the general who patrols the river, but it still doesn’t help?”

"Then you have to change it..."

Xia Wei was interrupted by Ye Jie mid-sentence: "Anyway, it's too early to talk about this now. Let's find a way to get through Kui Niu first."
