Elder Shi's name was Shi Qingxuan, and he looked like he was in his twenties or thirties. He was dressed in brocade clothes with a pattern of intersecting swords embroidered on them. However, the pattern was black, which was similar to the clothes of the two core disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect that died.
His beard was cleaned up very clean, his face was like a crown of jade. Flying with that sword, he looked like a handsome immortal and like a tree in the breeze.
He glanced at the soldiers of the Great Rime Kingdom below, and soon the sword lowered to the ground.
After a glance at the crowd, he asked, "Are you the soldiers and horses of the Great Rime Kingdom? Well, who is the leader here?"
A bearded, rugged, golden-armored general stepped out and said, "Marshal Wu Changrong, Marshal of the Great Rime Kingdom, has met Elder Shi."
"En," Shi Qingxuan nodded lightly.
Wu Changrong said again, "The Great Rime Kingdom's troops have been assembled and can enter the territory of Yan Kingdom at any time. Elder Shi can give an order."
"You did a good job," Shi Qingxuan praised without hesitation.
After speaking, he looked at the Maple Leaf City ahead, lost in thought.
Wu Changrong waited for a while. Before Shi Qingxuan gave any instructions, he rolled his eyes and cautiously said, "Elder Shi, I heard that the Seraphic Sword Sect will hold a new disciple selection party soon, is that true?"
Shi Qingxuan glanced at Wu Changrong, nodded, and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"No problem, of course, no problem."
Wu Changrong smiled and pretended to say casually, "This humble one's son will go to the Seraphic Sword Sect to participate in the selection soon. Hearing a few words from him, I was quite impressed."
Shi Qingxuan saw through Wu Changrong's true thoughts at a glance, and asked, "What is your son's name?"
"Wu Yuanzhong," Wu Changrong replied quickly.
Shi Qingxuan: "I have remembered; I will pay attention to it when I return to the sect."
"Thank you Elder Shi for your care," Wu Changrong was overjoyed. "From now on, whenever Elder Shi gives this humble one an order, he will not hesitate to go up even the mountain of swords and sea of fire."
"What? Do you dare to refuse if I don't care about your son?" Shi Qingxuan frowned, but from his tone, it could be seen that he just asked this playfully.
Wu Changrong was taken aback, and quickly explained, "Elder Shi has misunderstood. How dare I..."
Shi Qingxuan raised his hand to interrupt Wu Changrong's words, pointed towards Maple Leaf City in front of him, and said faintly, "Since the Yan Kingdom is not obedient, there is no need for it."
"Yes," Wu Changrong nodded.
After that, Wu Changrong gave an order, and the countless troops assembled, shouted and screamed, and slew towards Maple Leaf City.
There were not many defenders on the walls of Maple Leaf City, but Wu Changrong was not afraid of traps at all. How could a million army be unable to take a small Maple Leaf City?
In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery were imaginary and could be easily shredded.
It seemed that he heard the shouts of killing outside the city, knowing that the army of the Great Rime Kingdom had begun to attack the city, and resulting in a riot in Maple Leaf City.
The defenders inside the city stepped on the wall, bent bows and arrows, waiting to shoot the soldiers and horses of the Great Rime Kingdom.
But soon, a scene that surprised everyone happened. After the soldiers and horses of the Great Rime Kingdom rushed to a certain distance and had not entered the range of the Maple Leaf City's defenders, they saw a flash of light, and an invisible energy barrier intercepted them all
"What's the matter?" Wu Changrong was surprised.
Shi Qingxuan couldn't help frowning, looking at the energy barrier that suddenly appeared, his face became a little dignified.
The defenders of Maple Leaf City also didn't know what had happened, but some of them knew that Mo Xiu and Yan Ran were on the city wall, so it was not difficult to guess that this was due to Mo Xiu and Yan Ran.
Soon, someone shouted. "Long live your majesty! Long live Master Mo!"
"Long live Her Majesty! Long live Master Mo!"
"Long live Her Majesty! Long live Master Mo!"
"Long live Her Majesty! Long live Master Mo!"
...
All the defenders of Maple Leaf City cheered.
As the object of adoration by everyone, Yan Ran had a strange look on her face.
She quickly looked at Mo Xiu beside her, and asked, "When did you set up a defensive array outside the city?"
"Just now," Mo Xiu replied.
"Just now?" Yan Ran was very puzzled. "Have you not been here all the time?"
"Yes," Mo Xiu nodded gently.
"If that's the case, how did you set up your defensive array?" Yan Ran only felt that her mind couldn't turn around.
"Didn't I just ask for the Mountain and River Order?" Mo Xiu glanced at Yan Ran and explained, "I just moved my hands on the Mountain and River Order, not the defensive array I arranged, but the Mountain and River Order itself has such a function."
Yan Ran was taken aback for a moment.
It had been a while since Mountain and River Order was handed over to her. Recently, she has done some research on Mountain and River Order, but it was the first time that she knew that Mountain and River Order had such a function.
This thing could still be used like this?
Sure enough, even treasures had to have the right user. For people who didn't understand, even if they got the treasure, they might not be able to exert the power of the treasure.
After thinking about it, she groaned, "Since Mountain and River Order has such a function, why not use it sooner? If I knew it, I wouldn't have to worry about it so much."
"It may not be a good thing to close the country, and even if you use the Mountain and River Order to close the country, the tens of millions of troops from the surrounding countries may not retreat. Moreover, this thing can stop the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect for a while, but it cannot stop the whole life," Mo Xiu shook his head and said.
"What do you mean?" Yan Ran was puzzled.
Mo Xiu shook his head without answering, and looked at Shi Qingxuan in the Great Rime Kingdom's army camp outside the city.
Shi Qingxuan also noticed Mo Xiu and Yan Ran on the city wall immediately. He immediately flew up and stood in the air. Looking at Mo Xiu, he said without hesitation, "Could it be that you are the one who killed my sect's disciple, Mo Xiu?"
Mo Xiu did not admit or deny, and asked, "Who are you?"
Shi Qingxuan was also not as arrogant as the two core disciples of the Sky Sword Sect before, but he did not declare himself in front of Mo Xiu, just said, "The one who will take your life!"
As he shouted, a cyan long sword rushed and floated before him, and a violent momentum rose up.
Obviously, he was a handsome and elegant man, but he looked like a powerful and ferocious beast at this moment. The unconsciously exuding terrifying aura made the soldiers of the Great Rime Kingdom below shudder, and even their bodies were trembling slightly.
His incomparable True Energy was injected into the cyan long sword, and a dazzling cyan sword light burst out, and the long sword shadow seemed to connect directly to the sky.
"This... is this the strength of the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect?" Yan Ran took a deep breath, and there was a hint of worry in his heart.
Soon, Shi Qingxuan's sword fell and slashed on the energy barrier.
"Boom..."
A loud noise rang out, and the entire ground shook violently as if experiencing a major earthquake. Many buildings in Maple Leaf City collapsed during the shaking. Fortunately, no one was killed by the collapsed buildings.
After the loud bang, the cyan sword light disappeared.
Shi Qingxuan was still outside the energy barrier, and the energy barrier was still there. There was no crack in sight. It seemed that Shi Qingxuan's terrifying sword just now was nothing to that energy barrier.
"Huh!"
Shi Qingxuan let out a sound, and seemed a little surprised.
Then he looked at Mo Xiu and said, "It's quite capable to be able to block my sword."
"..."
Mo Xiu was silent, saying nothing.
Shi Qingxuan did not continue to attack, but said, "I don't believe you can defend such a huge Yan Kingdom. When I enter the Yan Kingdom, you will be broken into pieces."
With that, he looked at Wu Changrong, and said, "You take someone to guard here, don't let him run away, I'll go and see elsewhere."
"Yes," Wu Changrong nodded respectfully.
Shi Qingxuan glanced at Mo Xiu for the last time, his figure flickered, turned into a stream of light and flew out, and in the blink of an eye, he had reached a thousand miles away.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Then before long, there was a bang after another, and it was clear that Shi Qingxuan was attacking the boundless energy barrier elsewhere.
Mo Xiu naturally did not worry about Shi Qingxuan breaking through that energy barrier. After all, he had already expected Shi Qingxuan to attack. If that energy barrier could not stop Shi Qingxuan, he would not use it as a reliance to protect Yan Kingdom.
Having said that, he couldn't stop Shi Qingxuan from attacking the energy barrier. His current strength was limited, and there were not many methods he could use. Unless he forcibly raised his cultivation base regardless of his foundation, he couldn't deal with Shi Qingxuan.
Regardless of the foundation, this was not Mo Xiu's consistent method. Moreover, Shi Qingxuan was nothing at all. His real enemy was in the Realm of Heaven, not in the Seraphic Sword Sect. It was not worthwhile to force the promotion to kill a Shi Qingxuan.
In the beginning, a deafening roar could be heard from far away, but it was not known if Shi Qingxuan was too far away, or Shi Qingxuan realized something was wrong, the roar gradually diminished until it disappeared.
After only a short while, Shi Qingxuan flew back again and stood volley above the army of the Great Rime Kingdom.
But his face was very ugly, so gloomy that ink could be squeezed out.
"You are not bad; no wonder you can kill the core disciples of my Seraphic Sword Sect."
He seemed to be complimenting, but his tone was very cold and murderous.
If it was said that he was only performing the task of "Killing Mo Xiu" as explained by the sect, he didn't have a strong idea about killing King Xiu, but now, he really had a killing intent on Mo Xiu.
This person was not easy, he should be killed as soon as possible! The elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect had lost his face, he should be killed!
He took a deep breath and said coldly, "Although I don't know how your defensive barrier was made, it should be the effect of a certain treasure, and it is supported by a certain special force. As long as I mobilize all the warriors of the countries around to attack your defensive barrier day and night, I should be able to tear your defensive barrier to pieces in less than a month."
Mo Xiu: "Do you think I will give you the opportunity to attack defensive barriers day and night?"
