C290 One-line-sky
Time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Nothing special had happened during this month. Apart from Guxing who had broken through to the Mid Period of Spirit Cultivating Stage after a certain battle, there were also more than thirty people who had died under his sword.
In the path of cultivation, cultivation wasn't everything. It was equally important to understand the world, nature, and even oneself. This was the so-called mental cultivation. Mental strength was also known as spiritual perception by martial artists. When a martial artist reached the True Martial realm, their spiritual sense would transform into spiritual sense. At this time, a martial artist had almost reached the realm of immortality. In other words, he was the so-called Divine Immortal among the common people. Of course, immortality here was just an exaggerated statement. It wasn't true immortality, but it just wouldn't age. It also had a long lifespan, but that didn't mean they wouldn't die. According to the historical records of the continent, every immortal could live up to 100,000 years old at most. Ordinary Immortals could live up to 30,000 to 60,000 years.
Guxing had already broken through to the Mid Period of Spirit Cultivating Stage on the road to the Imperial City. It wasn't surprising that his cultivation base had improved so much. However, he had just stepped into this realm, so he couldn't fully exert his full combat strength. It was a long journey to the Yaen Kingdom. There were many difficulties and obstacles, and he urgently needed more battles to stabilize his realm.
"Feng family, Yu family, and Xi family. . . Could it be that all of them have died? It has been so many days, but there isn't even a shadow of them. "
The scorching sun was high up in the sky. Although Guxing was sweating profusely due to the heat, he didn't forget to sit on his horse and mumble to himself.
Xiao Yue rolled her eyes speechlessly at him and said: "It's not good if you can't see them. You want them to come and kill you, right?"
After saying that, she regretted it. This idiot really wanted to do it now. Someone came to kill him.
As expected, Guxing rubbed his fists and said, "Heh, that would be for the best. I was just thinking of having a fight with them, but those wandering martial artists who chased after me these past few days were really too weak. They didn't even have the strength to fight at all. "
Indeed, in his eyes, ordinary middle and late stage Spiritual Smelting experts were no longer formidable opponents. As for those below the Spiritual Smelting Realm. . . They could only be described as pitifully weak.
"Humph, don't be so arrogant. That's only because you have met a true expert. You will cry when the time comes. " Seeing him so complacent, Xiao Yue said unhappily.
"A true expert?" Guxing licked his lips and said with a bloodthirsty smile: "Humph, what can I ask for?"
What he didn't know was that there were a total of fifteen assassins from the allied forces of the Wind, Rain, and Xi families. They had already gone on their way three days ago. Among this group of people. . . The weakest among them was at the Late Period of Spirit Cultivating Stage. As for the three leaders, they had already reached the terrifying Attack Stopping Stage. Although it was only the early stage of the battle, to the current Guxing, * Hong Long. . . . . . *
At the same time, after a month of travelling, Dou Tianlai and the four guards finally arrived at the front line of the barbarians, which was guarded by the First General, Lo Gucheng and a million elite soldiers of Great Chu.
The stones in the clouds were embroidered, and the sun was never allowed to set. Who would dare to look up at the road that led to the sky? It was a foot long and a hundred thousand feet long.
The One-Line Sky was the most dangerous place in Chu Kingdom. It was widely known that Emperor Xiaotian had led the entire army to retreat to this place. This place was less than five hundred miles away from the Northern Wasteland where the Barbarian Tribe was located. The army was stationed there, and they could attack and retreat at any time. Defending was the most important strategic location in Great Chu.
Lo Gucheng had known that his master was coming half a month ago, so he had sent people to wait here to receive them every day. Today, as soon as Dou Tianlai and the others arrived, a small group of people jumped out of the forest. They were alert and surprised as they asked, "Is this Dou Tianlai, old supreme commander Dou?"
Dou Tianlai had been away from the battlefield for a long time. Before he left, he specially took out the Golden Chain Armor from his home. At this moment, he sat on the horse with an indescribable majesty. He nodded at the people below and asked loudly, Who is this? "It's me. Who are you all? Why are you hiding here?"
"It's General Dou. Brothers, it's really General Dou. General Dou is back!"
Who knew that this person did not answer Dou Tianlai's question first. Instead, he shouted excitedly towards the dense forest. Following that, a dozen or so people jumped out of the forest. All of them wore the uniform of Chu Army, and looked at Dou Tianlai with extreme excitement.
"The Battle Marshal is here!"
It was unknown who spoke first, but everyone immediately boiled up!
"It's really Marshal Dou!"
"The Marshal of Dou is really back!"
There were even some who cried tears of joy and whimpered. "Marshal Dou. . . You are finally willing to come back. Our subordinates have already waited for you. . . We have waited for you for a full fifteen years. Today, we have finally waited for you! Wuuuu ~ "
Even though Dou Tianlai had experienced hundreds of battles and had seen countless scenes, big and small, At this moment, he was also influenced by the true feelings of these soldiers. He sat on the horse and looked at these faces that were filled with vicissitudes of life. He could still vaguely recall some of the young and tender looks of some of them in the past.
"Zhao Gang? Song Yong? Wang Fei?"
He tried calling out a few names, and a few people in the crowd looked up at him in disbelief.
Finally, he turned his eyes to Chu Bing, who was crying tears of joy, and asked in a trembling voice: "You are that Crying Ghost from back then, Meng Bufan?"
"Marshal, you still. . . Remember me?" This time, even the most excited Chu Bing in the team forgot to cry and looked at him in shock.
"I remember, how could I not remember!" Dou Tianlai's eyes suddenly became moist as he said: "When I left, you were the one who cried the most. You couldn't even stop me. Haha, I even called you useless! "
When Meng Bufan was mentioned about the ugly incident back then, he immediately said somewhat awkwardly: "Marshal, that was all because of Chen Sesame and Guzi. I don't want to cry anymore. I really don't want to cry anymore! "
Just as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter behind him. Meng Bufan immediately turned his head away from embarrassment and scolded, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny? If you don't believe me, I will reward you with 20 sticks each!"
His words had an immediate effect. Although the soldiers at the back wanted to laugh, they could only hold it in. Obviously, they were respectful of his words.
This time, it was Dou Tianlai's turn to be shocked. He never would have thought that the brat who loved to cry the most back then, who he always called useless, would actually become the leader one day. And judging from the reaction of these people, this brat's status in the army must not be low. Thinking of this, he asked with interest, "Love to cry is extraordinary. What is your current position?"
