Chapter 256: Prince, it’s not like I haven’t killed him before! (2-in-1)
In the courtyard.
Song Changming consolidated his newly achieved breakthrough in inner energy cultivation.
The newly born eighth cyclone in the body is becoming more and more solid and no longer superficial.
More than an hour later, after the circulation of inner energy ended, Song Changming opened his eyes, and the light flashed away and disappeared into his eyes.
"Sure enough, as Nan Wuji said, the environment here restricts martial arts practice." Song Changming sighed and shook his head.
He didn't feel it deeply before, but now that he has broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, this sense of environmental restraint has become stronger in an instant.
If you want to continue to condense the last cyclone in the limited space in the body and complete the Qi refining state, it is simply impossible to reach the sky!
This is just like in the past, refining every point of internal energy may require the consumption of ten portions of natural energy.
Nowadays, the refining of every ounce of internal energy requires the consumption of a hundred or more natural energy.
If the natural air in the environment is purer and richer, this time-consuming and labor-intensive consumption can undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
But it is a pity that even the great spiritual places such as Jianya and Wangyue Mountain cannot satisfy Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang.
Therefore, only by going to Guyuan Country can we find a better environment for martial arts practice.
"After you have stabilized your cultivation level, it's time to go and have a look at the abyss outside the territory." Song Changming was making future plans in his mind.
As for the Corpse Refining Sect, he already knew that this extraterritorial sect was backed by the sect of Guyuan Kingdom.
He was not sure how close the relationship was between the Corpse Refining Sect outside the territory and the Corpse Refining Sect of Ancient Yuan Kingdom.
If he goes to the mountain gate to kill him and wants to destroy the sect, he will jump over the wall in a hurry, and he will know whether the other party has a way to protect the sect that is beyond his understanding.
"Perhaps we can try it out then." Song Changming said secretly.
When Xu Baishu was killed before, the Corpse Refining Sect could only be regarded as a potential enemy.
Later, when the Corpse Refining Sect sent a group of strong men from the sect to attack him at night, they were already identified enemies.
His approach to dealing with enemies, especially those that have been identified, has always been to eliminate the root causes to avoid future troubles.
"Sir, we have finished counting. The most valuable thing on the corpses of the Corpse Refining Sect members is the mist gold. There are almost fifty pieces in total. There are also some pills with unknown ingredients, and their specific functions have yet to be identified."
Song Pingan unsealed the bag, and a sea of scorching mist energy suddenly dissipated.
What was placed in the bag was a pile of matte gold.
"Yes, it's an unexpected surprise." Song Changming took a look and nodded.
Originally, he didn't care too much about what the Corpse Refining Sect members got from touching corpses. After all, they came here to kill people at night, and they couldn't bring a bunch of treasures with them to let you play a game of killing monsters and dropping treasures.
They carried these mist gold with them. It seems that either the corpse puppet needs this mist gold to charge, or they want to summon the mist beast as a trump card.
As a result, Song Changming wiped him clean with a single blow, and the mist gold on his body was useless.
The effect of foggy gold on him is not small.
Absorbing the scorching mist energy inside can speed up his Qi refining practice, which is much more efficient than absorbing the natural energy from the outside.
However, a piece of mist gold once allowed him to practice for ten days and a half, and even a piece of mist gold with a lot of burning mist energy could last nearly a month.
However, as Qi refining cultivation level increases, the consumption rate of mist gold is also accelerating.
Now, a piece of mist gold might not last three or two days in his hand, and the burning mist energy inside would be exhausted by him.
His Qi refining cultivation level is too high. This seemingly large amount of more than fifty pieces of mist gold will not last long if he uses it for cultivation.
"Young Master, there are many greetings today. Not only powerful people in the martial arts world but also local dignitaries want to see you." Song Ping'an said suddenly.
Song Changming's battle was groundbreaking and it was inevitable that it would attract attention.
"It's still the same as before, saying that I'm in retreat and don't see outsiders." Song Changming waved his hand and didn't ask who the powerful and powerful people were.
At his current level of strength, he does not need to deliberately consider this matter, he can just leave it to Song Ping'an.
No matter how dissatisfied others are, they dare not do anything to him.
Today, there are so many people who want to see him. He can't meet them all, so he just wants to keep quiet.
"Okay." Song Ping'an had become accustomed to it and declined them one by one.
Even the art of polite refusal is something he has memorized by heart, but he can speak it with ease, without appearing harsh, and politely leaving room for each other.
After that, a few more days passed.
The news that Song Changming killed the strong men of the Corpse Refining Sect with one sword has been completely spread.
And subsequent impacts followed one after another.
The most obvious and significant impact was on the foreign cults that invaded Dalai. After learning about this incident, they may have received orders from the sect and chose to retreat and fled Dalai overnight!
This result was unexpected by everyone.
Even Song Changming himself did not expect that his sword seemed to strike the Corpse Refining Sect, but in fact it struck the hearts of all the sects outside the territory, with the blade hanging above each of their heads!
I was afraid that one day, Song Changming would come over and chop them up too.
In this way, the ten-year fierce battle between the Da Lai martial arts community and those outside the territory was inadvertently interrupted by Song Changming in this way.
Song Changming is like a nuclear weapon in the Dalai camp. After his appearance, his deterrence power is directly increased.
Compared with the sword master Nan Wuji back then, he was devoted to martial arts and had no concern for worldly matters.
Song Changming is obviously different. He is a nuclear warhead that will actually explode!
Yunling City, the imperial capital, and the palace of Prince Yu.
In the back garden, a young man wearing a python robe and a purple crown was sitting in the pavilion, watching several martial arts masters fighting each other outside the pavilion. The collision of energy was so intense.
The maid on the side handed him a plum, but he pushed it away impatiently. She turned to look at the old servant on the side and said happily: "These are good people. Where did you find them?"
"These are all masters with names on the local rankings. It is not difficult to find them because of their great reputation. After hearing that His Highness appreciated them, they all followed." The old servant responded with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I like warriors who are strong and knowledgeable!" Gu Yang laughed.
"Okay, let them stop. I will hold a martial arts competition another day and let all my warriors participate. Then I will divide them into different ranks!"
The old servant nodded in agreement.
At this moment, a man wearing a long white gown and holding a folding fan walked quickly. He only glanced at the strong warriors outside the pavilion and bowed his hands.
"Your Highness."
When Gu Yang saw the person coming, he waved his hand and said, "It's Lu Xiaoyao. Please excuse me. How did you tell me how your affairs went?"
Lu Xiaoyao looked a bit troubled and shook his head and said: "Your Highness, my subordinates did not see Song Changming during this trip. His subordinates said that Song Changming is in seclusion and cultivating and does not see outsiders."
Upon hearing this, the cheerful smile on Gu Yang's face suddenly disappeared, he slapped the bench and said angrily.
"That's unreasonable! This is the second time this time. I want to see him, but I have been blocked! What a Song Changming! What a Dragon Swordsman!"
"Your Highness, Song Changming is the eleventh master on the Heavenly Ranking. He recently defeated a group of strong men from the Corpse Refining Sect outside the region. He is a person with extraordinary abilities. He must be treated with caution."
Lu Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but remind him.
"Nonsense, if he has no ability, why should I put down my dignity and send people to invite him out of the mountain many times!" Gu Yang was even more dissatisfied and interrupted directly.
"He is not a disciple of one of those hidden sects. No matter how accomplished he is in martial arts, he is still a subject of my Dalai. As a prince, I am already a polite and virtuous corporal. It is he who does not know what is good and what is evil! I don't think he has let me go at all. In the eyes!"
"Send the order and ask General Zhang to take his people to Wangyue County and ask the county guard to bring three thousand soldiers to invite Song Changming to come out! This time he has to come even if he doesn't come!"
"Yes!" The general on the side agreed. He only followed orders and didn't care about anything else.
Lu Xiaoyao next to him was already sweating on his forehead.
The young prince had previously lived deep in the palace. He was young and didn't know much about things. Now that he had just left the palace and opened his palace to be crowned king, he was eager to recruit all kinds of talents to join his army.
The young prince knew the weight of Tianbang, but he didn't know how strong the warriors of Tianbang were. He had no idea.
I don’t even know how exaggerated it is that Song Changming wiped out those strong corpse refining sects with one sword!
As a member of the martial arts world, Lu Xiaoyao knows these very well.
Song Changming's true strength is probably beyond imagination, almost equivalent to those powerful beings at the level of the hidden sect masters!
Such a person, let alone a mere little prince, even the current emperor may not be able to dispatch such a person!
But he has said too much about this matter before.
The little prince couldn't listen. No matter what he said, it would be useless. If he didn't say anything, it would be in vain. On the contrary, he would annoy the master.
After that, Donglai County Town.
Donglai County Sheriff faced the most troublesome incident since he took office. "According to the decree of King Yu, the governor of Wangyue County, Ma Shisheng, is ordered to lead three thousand county soldiers to cooperate with the general." In the governor's house, the tall general said loudly.
The tone left no room for doubt and did not give the county guard any room to turn around.
"General, you must not do it. The hero Song is a famous person in the world. Not to mention his superb martial arts. He once saved our Donglai County from water and fire and is respected by all people. Such a person can only be treated with courtesy and cannot be forced!" Sheriff Ma Shisheng said eagerly.
"This is King Yu's order, Lord Sheriff, you just have to follow it." The general said expressionlessly.
Ma Shisheng gritted his teeth and secretly scolded the little prince for his nonsense.
He knew best what a strong man Song Changming was. He was no longer restrained by the power of the world, so how could he submit obediently.
Isn't this just pushing him and his three thousand county soldiers into a pit of fire?
"General, let me take you to persuade you. Don't use troops, otherwise."
Ma Shisheng still wanted to fight for it, but the general became impatient and scolded: "Ma Shisheng, you should know the consequences of disobeying the imperial authority!"
When the county governor heard this, his expression changed, and he finally had no choice but to agree.
In the bureaucracy, disobedience to imperial authority must be a serious crime among serious crimes.
It is common to be dismissed from office or exiled or imprisoned in serious cases.
He couldn't bear the blame.
So soon, after the three thousand county soldiers were counted, they crowded the main road of the county city and headed towards the Liu residence, attracting the attention of many people.
I don’t understand why the government is so mobilized today.
Outside Liu's house, the county soldiers were blocking the way.
"Lord Sheriff, why are you doing this today?" Liu Ziwen received the news from the county soldiers and had been waiting outside the house early.
Seeing the governor of Wangyue County, he couldn't help but ask.
He had stayed in Wangyue County for such a long time, so he had naturally interacted with the governor many times, and they were quite familiar with each other.
"Zi Wen, it's King Yu who wants to meet Hero Song. He specially sent me to invite people with him. He said it would be better not to neglect Hero Song." Ma Shisheng hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
Liu Ziwen was also an old man, so how could he believe the governor's words? He narrowed his eyes and looked at the three thousand soldiers behind him.
"I don't think the county guard is bringing these three thousand troops to invite people. They are here to kidnap people."
"This." Just as Ma Shisheng was about to continue explaining, the general on the side pushed past the county guard and said loudly: "My Highness has invited people twice before, but he has never even seen that person in person. .
Today I am going to take Daxia Song to see King Yu and settle the matter. "
The general's tone was obviously much colder than that of the county governor.
"Sorry, the young master is in retreat and has no plans to go out for the time being. Please come back." After hearing what the general said, Liu Ziwen basically understood the whole story and what this man's intention was.
He wasn't worried about the little prince.
After all, given Song Changming's strength, no one in the world can force him to see whom he wants or doesn't want to see.
"It seems that I didn't make my words clear. Hero Song must go to see King Yu today. No one can stop him!" After the general finished speaking, the three thousand soldiers behind him drew their swords and rifles and showed their weapons.
A chilling atmosphere spread on the street, and also spread to the house.
The next moment.
roar!
Two giant beasts as strong as elephants jumped over the courtyard wall and landed outside the house, roaring at the county soldiers.
The ferocious aura permeated the air, instantly causing the soldiers to fall into turmoil and panic.
The general's face also froze, and he looked carefully and saw clearly that they were two giant dogs that looked like ligers.
One yellow and one white, looking at his mouth revealing two rows of sharp fangs.
The door of the mansion opened, and a group of warriors rushed out one after another. The auras of all of them were good, and they were at least middle-to-high-level body-refining warriors.
Then Song Pingan and Su Qingqing, who was practicing calligraphy in the study, also walked out quickly.
"Brother Liu, what's the matter?" Song Ping'an glanced at the officers and soldiers, and then asked Liu Ziwen.
Liu Ziwen briefly explained the matter, and Song Ping'an suddenly understood and his face turned cold.
He glanced at the general in front of him.
"What a great King Yu, so domineering!"
Song Ping'an's body's internal energy surged, and the strong pressure caused the general to take several steps back.
In the past ten years with Song Changming, not only was Su Qingqing's strength soaring, but Song Ping'an was also growing steadily thanks to the effects of the dragon beads he had swallowed.
Today, Su Qingqing is ranked 69th on the Heavenly Ranking.
And Song Ping'an has also made it to the top of the list, ranking 92nd on the list!
Even if he is only at the bottom of the Heavenly Ranking, he is still a martial artist on the Heavenly Ranking, far beyond what ordinary warriors can compare with!
Although the general's personal force is not weak, after all, he is not ranked on the Heavenly Ranking. It is normal for him to be suppressed by Song Ping'an's momentum.
"Come here, capture them for me!" The general was angry, and without any explanation he drew his sword and ordered.
Although the three thousand soldiers were frightened by the two guard dogs, Dahuang and Dabai, they still obeyed the order.
When Song Ping'an and Su Qingqing met, they burst out with amazing inner energy, and both sword intent and sword intent rose.
The green clothes danced, and there was a faint sound of phoenix chirping.
When the general saw that this little girl had such inner Qi cultivation, he was even more frightened, and he shouted with a fierce expression.
"How dare you disobey King Yu!"
"Stop!" The expression on the side of the county guard's face changed drastically. He was about to stop him and try to save the situation.
At this moment, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended from the courtyard.
At the same time, a strong wind seemed to fall from the sky, forming a terrifying wind pressure on this street.
Snap!
The three thousand soldiers all lost their swords and guns and fell to their knees, unable to move due to the wind pressure.
The general still had some physical strength. He gritted his teeth and managed to hold on for a few seconds under the pressure of the wind. Veins appeared all over his body and the floor tiles were crushed under his feet.
But in the end, his back and knees were still bent.
There was a bang, his knees hit the ground hard, the iron armor broke, and there was severe pain in his knees.
Then the wind pressure continued, causing the general to fall to the ground.
The bridge of his nose was broken, the skin on his face was torn and blood spattered.
The three thousand soldiers were not as miserable as him.
Undoubtedly, the wind pressure exerted on him was the strongest.
Song Changming slowly walked out of the other courtyard and looked at the general with a dull expression.
"Prince, it's not like I haven't killed him before. Go back and tell that so-called Prince Yu so that you can take care of yourself and don't abuse the imperial power."
After finishing speaking, the overwhelming wind pressure on the street dissipated.
The general kept coughing up blood. Not only did he have multiple fractures on his body, but his internal organs were also seriously injured.
From the beginning to the end, Song Changming showed up without even raising his hand, leaving the three thousand soldiers he brought with him helpless.
This strength was completely beyond his cognitive scope.
Today, the general finally realized how terrifying a strong man of this level is!
The practical tactics and human sea tactics he used on the battlefield are completely useless in front of such strong men.
If three thousand people can be suppressed in an instant, tens of thousands of people won't make much difference!
It is no exaggeration to say that Song Changming alone can equal an army of millions!
Searching for an enemy's head among thousands of troops is as simple as searching a bag to retrieve an object.
How could he be afraid of the so-called imperial power and that prince.
The general lay on the ground, too injured to move.
The county guard on the side had no choice but to have him carried away, while he apologized to Song Changming repeatedly.
"No need, the governor has your own difficulties." Song Changming waved his hand.
"But it's best for you to report the facts to the Emperor. If the Emperor doesn't discipline him, I can't guarantee that I will have the patience to control my temper next time that little prince messes up again."
"Definitely, definitely, I'll go back and write the memorial right away!" The county guard wiped the cold sweat from his face and nodded repeatedly.
In fact, Song Changming's words were extremely treasonous, but he did not dare to say anything more.
We must not anger this strong man now. God knows whether Song Changming will go on a killing spree and destroy everything.
