From A Stronghold NPC To The Final BOSS - Chapter 332
332 Chapter 332 letter of challenge
Yes!
There was no way out!
Now, the rebels were surrounded by enemies from both the front and back, and the Imperial court’s Army had completely surrounded them. There was no way out at all.
Once there was no way out.
The other party could either surrender.
Either that, or they would fight with their backs to the wall.
However-
Rebellion was a capital crime.
…..
Gu Changqing had no other choice but to fight to the death.
it was also at this moment.
A guard came in from outside and knelt down on one knee, “”greetings, my lords!”
“What’s happening?”
“Milord, the rebel has delivered the letter of challenge!”
“Present it.”
“Yes!” The guard stepped forward and respectfully presented the letter in his hand.
Yan caizhe’s eyes hinted and a general at the side immediately took the letter. After that, he waved his hand and said,”You can leave now.”
“This subordinate will take his leave!” The guard retreated respectfully.
Soon after.
That general opened the letter and read through the contents before passing it to Yan caizhe.
He reached out and took it.
Yan caizhe looked at the contents of the letter and he frowned slightly before he laughed coldly, ” Gu Changqing is really bold. He still dares to issue a letter of challenge to us at this time!
After reading it, he passed the letter down.
It was only when it landed in Qin shujian’s hands that he could clearly see the contents of the letter.
There was not much content.
It could be summarized in one sentence.
That was half a month later, the final battle would take place in the Shang River.
Regarding the Shang River mentioned in the letter.
Qin shujian had some understanding of it.
It was a vast plain with two rivers on both sides. It was said that the river was a huge River that ran through the entire thousand mountains Prefecture.
Gu Changqing sent the letter of challenge, ” Wu tai said in a deep voice. he should also understand that they have no way out now. This is their last struggle!
but I have a question. Until now, the monster race hasn’t made any big moves. Could there be some hidden move? ”
Ke Yucheng said with a serious expression.
Everything was progressing too smoothly.
It was so smooth that the rebel didn’t even have the slightest bit of resistance.
As for the monster race expert behind the other party …
Apart from causing them a lot of trouble in the beginning, there had not been much movement until now.
Upon hearing this.
the human Sovereign is still here, ” Wu tai sneered. the demon race doesn’t have The Courage to Meddle too much. Things have already come to this point. Even if Gu Changqing has a backup plan, it won’t be of any use.”
These words made many people secretly nod their heads.
The situation was clear now.
As the Imperial court’s Army closed in, the rebels did not have much room to maneuver.
Even if he didn’t issue this challenge.
In a few days, the Army would also point their weapons at the enemy’s lifeline.
As he said till here, Wu tai turned his head sideways to look at Yan caizhe and asked, “”In Lord Yan’s opinion, should we accept Gu Changqing’s challenge?”
“Why not?”
Yan caizhe shook his head slightly and smiled.
if Gu Changqing dares to issue a challenge, I, Yan caizhe, will dare to accept it. We can use this opportunity to stabilize all the cities that we have obtained. When the time comes, we can gather our forces at the Shang River and defeat them in one fell swoop.
In his opinion.
It was a good thing that Gu Changqing was willing to issue a challenge.
At that time.
Everything was out in the open, and the two sides would have a head-on clash.
Otherwise …
If the other side avoided the battle and chose to break through from the side, it would cause a lot of trouble.
But with Gu Changqing’s status …
It was obvious that he didn’t want to avoid a fight.
Since that was the case …
Yan caizhe then gave the other party this chance to fight fair and square and also to make Gu Changqing accept his defeat wholeheartedly.
Of course.
The main reason was …
It was also because the Imperial court had taken down more than half of the cities in the hands of the rebels in a short period of time, and there were not many defenders in these cities. This caused the hearts of the people to waver, and the rear gradually became unstable.
This would require some time to consolidate the rear.
Therefore …
That was why Yan caizhe agreed to Gu Changqing’s challenge.
And since the main General of the Army had already agreed to the rebel’s challenge, the others did not raise any further objections.
Very quickly.
A reply was sent directly to Marquis Qian Shan’s hands.
This matter.
It was settled.
At the same time.
The news that the two armies were going to have a decisive battle in the Shang River region had somehow spread out, and it was getting more and more widespread. It seemed like it was going to spread all over the world.
On the other side.
Qin shujian entered a state of cultivation in his new residence.
In the past half a month.
As the Army went out to battle.
Although Gu Changqing’s forces rarely resisted and had basically withdrawn, it did not mean that there was no confrontation at all.
And in every battle.
He had killed many enemies with the help of the array, so the amount of life value points he had obtained was naturally not small.
Until now.
His life value points had already reached over 30 million.
However-
…..
Even though his life value had reached the height of 30 million, the plus sign that indicated that he could level up still did not appear on the Guiyuan ancestral manual.
This also explained indirectly.
If he wanted to use the GUI Yuan ancestral Codex to deduce the next level, he would need at least 40 million life value points.
This matter.
This was not good news for Qin shujian.
And excluding the GUI Yuan ancestral code.
The other six divine-grade cultivation methods that had reached the spiritual martial chapter all had a plus sign that said they could be upgraded.
However …
However, Qin shujian did not place all his life value points on these cultivation techniques.
Because there was no need for that.
Based on the situation of deducing and upgrading the origin returning ancestral code …
Even if he used all 30 million points of life value on a technique, it would at most be upgraded to the seventh or eighth level of the spiritual martial chapter.
With his current spiritual God strength …
When a cultivation technique reached this level, it wouldn’t have much of an increase.
It would only be of some use before he devoured the black nether envoy.
However, after devouring the black nether envoy …
His spiritual God had broken through to 300 feet, and he had already undergone a transformation.
&Nbsp; so,
Qin shujian had a premonition.
Even if he piled up a cultivation technique, it wouldn’t be of much help.
Towards this kind of sixth sense …
He believed it without a doubt.
Since that was the case …
He might as well save his life value points and then think of a way to deduce the ninth level of the spiritual martial chapter of the GUI Yuan ancestral Codex. When he cultivated it one step at a time, the bonus he would obtain would undoubtedly be even greater.
More importantly …
The remaining six cultivation techniques were all divine-grade, and they all pointed to the divine martial realm.
In other words …
Even without an increase in his life value, he could still slowly increase it through his own cultivation.
Not to mention other things.
Qin shujian was quite confident in his own cultivation talent.
Even if he wasn’t in the territory of the Liangshan spirit domain and didn’t have the domain lord title, his cultivation speed wasn’t slow at all.
This also proved that.
Even if he did not have life value points as a supplementary method to increase his strength, he was still a genius.
At this moment.
Qin shujian’s spiritual will suddenly moved.
A fourth-grade Golden Lotus appeared above his head, and a Golden Shield enveloped his entire body.
At the same time.
The White blade cut through the secret chamber and struck the Golden Shield.
Boom–
The shield shattered.
The blade continued to slash toward Qin shujian with its remaining momentum.
However, when it was blocked by the Golden Lotus, the sword blade had been weakened a lot. When it was about to hit him, the dustless immortal robe immediately played its role and formed another layer of air wall to block the sword blade.
Everything had happened too quickly.
Qin shujian only opened his eyes the moment the sword blade shattered.
In the next instant.
He saw a man wearing a silver mask charging over. A Daoist seal was faintly visible on a long sword, and a fatal threat emerged in his heart.
Without any hesitation.
The moment Qin shujian’s body appeared, he waved his hand, and a large formation descended. It covered the person with The Silver Mask.
However-
In less than two seconds, the formation shattered.
The person with The Silver Mask charged out of the formation’s barrier and shortened the distance between them in one step. The tip of his sword was pointed directly at Qin shujian.
It was also at this moment.
Su Mingyang, who had been guarding the mansion, also noticed the movement. He let out an angry roar and a terrifying divine sense burst out, bombarding the silver-masked man.
Shen Wu’s divine will burst out.
The power was enough to shake the world.
The person with The Silver Mask obviously knew how powerful Qin shujian was. Hence, before the longsword could even touch Qin shujian, his body had already escaped in the opposite direction. In less than half a breath, he had already disappeared into the night sky.
Everything happened quickly.
He left quickly.
By the time su Mingyang had completely rushed over, only Qin shujian was left standing there.
As for the secret room he had been cultivating in.
At this moment, it was completely shattered.
“Sect leader Qin, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Qin shujian shook his head slightly, but his expression was a little cold.
The short exchange of blows just now.
He understood how terrifying the other party’s strength was.
It was capable of shattering the defense of a fourth-grade Golden Lotus with a single strike, and could even destroy the formation he had set up in an instant.
Such strength.
Even the half-Deva dark nether emissary was weaker than him before he used his trump card.
This way …
The man with The Silver Mask was at least half a step into the Deva realm.
As for whether or not he was a heaven tier elite …
Qin shujian couldn’t be completely sure.
After all, the other party had retreated because of su Mingyang’s appearance. Was it because they were afraid of su Mingyang, or was it because they were worried about being entangled by the other party and were afraid of him, the Grandmaster of arrays, as well as the other strong people in Ding Xiang city? that was hard to say.
Su Mingyang’s face at the moment was not too good. He said coldly, ” since the other party dared to assassinate him, he must be an expert from the demon race. Even with sect master Qin’s array Dao Grandmaster skills, he couldn’t stop him. His strength is not simple!
“He’s at least a half-step Deva.”
it seems that Gu Changqing sent the letter of challenge in advance to make us temporarily relax our vigilance and then send someone to assassinate us! Su Mingyang just thought about it and roughly guessed the other party’s plan.
To send a letter of challenge on the surface first to calm the People’s hearts.
He then sent people to assassinate Qin shujian.
They wanted to take advantage of the time before the war to reduce the Imperial court’s number of grandmasters.
The day of the war had arrived.
They would have a significant advantage.
It was also at this moment.
The huge commotion just now had also attracted the attention of other people in the residence and even in Ding Xiang city. Soon after, they all rushed over.
