Chapter 221 Is Martial Arts Such an Inconvenient Thing?
Their eyes were fixed on each other, as if they wanted to take in everything about each other.

The strong winds finally died down, leaving only devastation above the town.

However, Gongsun Ce and Jiu Tian Xuan Nu still stood where they were, their eyes still fixed on each other.

At this moment, Gongsun Ce put away the Tianwen Sword, his hands spread flat in front of him, accumulating the power of heaven and earth.

There are three moves in total for the Three Wonders of Wind, Cloud, Rain and Uncertainty: the wind sweeps the ten directions and the mountains and lakes shake, the clouds roll for a hundred miles and the universe shakes, and the rain falls and all chaos is destroyed.

These three moves are each stronger than the previous one, and the previous one is a prerequisite for the next one.

The gentleman's uprightness can replace the wind sweeping across the mountains and swamps in all directions as a prerequisite for the clouds rolling up for a hundred miles and shaking the universe.

Gongsun Ce closed his eyes and felt the power of the gentlemanly demeanor in the air around him.

In the air, wisps of breeze slowly gathered and swirled around Gongsun Ce's figure.

These breezes seemed to be given life. They intertwined and entangled in the air, gradually forming a huge vortex.

Gongsun Ce slowly opened his eyes, raised his head and looked at the white clouds in the sky.

He waved his hand gently, and it seemed as if an invisible force was pulling the white clouds.

White clouds began to gather towards him rapidly, becoming more and more numerous and denser, until finally a huge cloud formed above his head.

Gongsun Ce stared at the white cloud, then suddenly slapped out with his palm. A powerful force burst out from his palm, pushing the cloud towards the direction of the Queen Mother of the West.

This palm pushed the white clouds, condensing the clouds into a huge palm print.

It crossed the barriers of space and roared towards the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens with unparalleled momentum.

Seeing this, the face of the Lady of the Nine Heavens changed slightly. She felt the powerful force of this palm and knew that it should not be underestimated.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to mobilize some of the power in her body that belonged to the state of unity between man and nature.

Behind her, a huge Dharma image began to slowly emerge.

This Dharma image is a hundred meters tall, radiating dazzling light all over its body, as if a real god of war has descended. It is the Dharma image of the Queen Mother of the West.

Her face was solemn and dignified, and her eyes flashed with determination.

The Queen Mother of the West concentrated all her strength on this Dharma image.

"go with!"

She suddenly opened her eyes, let out a delicate cry, and rushed towards the palm print from Gongsun Ce.

The two forces met in the air, making a deafening noise.

The entire sky seemed to tremble at this moment.

The huge palm print and the Dharma image collided fiercely, causing a powerful shock wave.

The shock wave spread out in all directions, blowing away the surrounding clouds.

The broken houses on the ground were hit again, and endless yellow sand was stirred up, submerging the debris of the houses that had been scattered again.

The original town has completely become history, and there is no trace left of its existence.

Gongsun Ce and Lady Jiu Tian were both shocked by this force and took a few steps back.

However, at this moment, the huge palm print suddenly burst out with an even brighter light.

It seemed to have swallowed up all the power and tightly wrapped the Dharma image within it.

The image of Lady of the Nine Heavens began to shrink rapidly under the wrapping of the palm print, and the light on the surface of the image began to dim.

The palm print grew larger and brighter, as if it was about to engulf the entire Dharma image.

The face of Lady of the West changed. She knew that her Dharma image could no longer hold up.

She gritted her teeth, waved her hand violently, and took back the Dharma image.

However, at the moment she retracted her Dharma image, the huge palm print had already hit her hard.

The Queen Mother of the West only felt a powerful force coming down from the sky, and her figure was knocked uncontrollably into the ground.

After a violent shaking of the ground, waves of yellow sand were stirred up. After the yellow sand dispersed, only a giant palm print was left where the Queen Mother of the West had originally stood.

However, the Nine-Sky Mysterious Lady disappeared. Just when Gongsun Ce was concentrating on dealing with her sudden attack, she jumped out from the yellow sand under Gongsun Ce's feet.

Gongsun Ce tapped his feet lightly on the yellow sand, and his figure rose from the ground, avoiding the death embrace of the Queen Mother of the West.

"interesting."

Gongsun Ce discovered that the other party was determined to die together with him, so he made this last attempt.

"You are the one who ruined my plan?"

Although it was a questioning tone, Gongsun Ce could feel that the other party had already determined that he was the culprit who destroyed the Tears of the Goddess.

Gongsun Ce stood in the void and raised his eyebrows at the Queen Mother of the West on the ground.

"So what if it is? So what if it's not?"

"Haha." The Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens sneered, "Of course I will fight you to the death!"

The next moment, Gongsun Ce discovered that the body of the Queen of Loulan, who was controlled by the Queen Mother of the West, was trembling, and all the energy in her body was gathering, obviously preparing to self-destruct.

The Queen of Loulan is an ordinary person, but during the time she served as the carrier of the Lady of the Nine Heavens, she absorbed a lot of legendary power, so the energy index in her body is frighteningly high.

Seeing this, Gongsun Ce once again raised his energy and used his unique skills again.

The huge cloud that was originally condensed by the Yunjuan Baili Qiankun Zhen did not completely dissipate. Instead, after this brief calm, it began to surge again.

Gongsun Ce took a deep breath, put his hands together, and concentrated on the last move among the three ultimate moves: Wind, Cloud, Rain and Wuding.

As Gongsun Ce's hands slowly separated, a powerful energy began to surge out from his palms.

This energy is different from the previous palm print. It is softer and more delicate, like an endless spring rain.

However, within this softness lies endless destructive power.

Under Gongsun Ce's control, the clouds quickly condensed into rain vapor, which gathered into long and thin rays of light in the air, and then intertwined into a scene of countless light rain.

Gongsun Ce waved his hand suddenly, and the rain of light rushed towards the Queen Mother of the West like a wild horse.

This move is called "Rain Destroys All Chaos" and is the last of the three unique moves of Wind, Cloud, Rain and Uncertainty.

It not only condenses Gongsun Ce's true energy and the intention of the grandmaster, but also integrates the power of heaven and earth.

Each drop of light rain is like a small bomb, containing powerful energy.

When Lady Jiu Tian felt the power of this move, she couldn't help but feel despair in her heart, but the self-explosion would not stop.

The Queen Mother of the West relies only on her own heart blood, which is in the state of unity between man and nature and is difficult to destroy, so she can self-destruct without restraint.

The self-explosion of the body of the Queen of Loulan cannot destroy the heart blood of the Lady of the Nine Heavens at all, and she can still find a new carrier.

At the moment when Lady of the West was about to self-destruct, Gongsun Ce's rain of light had already penetrated her body.

These rains of light were like sharp swords, shattering the energy condensed by the Queen Mother of the West.

Her body trembled violently under the impact of the light rain, as if it would collapse at any time.

At this moment, Gongsun Ce's high level of control over his true energy was demonstrated once again. The rain of light shattered all the power condensed by the Queen Mother of the West and then took it out.

Gongsun Ce's figure flashed and appeared beside the Queen Mother of the West, and the dragon scale sword behind Gongsun Ce was unsheathed.

The next moment, the Dragon Scale Sword turned into a residual image and picked up the blood of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman's heart between the eyebrows of the Queen of Loulan.

The gem-like blood from the heart of the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens just sank into the endless rain of light.

Under the cleansing of the light rain, the blood on the heart of the Queen Mother of the West gradually turned golden.

When the rain of light ended, the heart blood of Queen Mother of the West had been completely covered in gold and was successfully sealed by Gongsun Ce.

If the loss of the Goddess's Tears was enough to anger Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu, then now she has lost another part of her power, including her own heart blood, which is enough to make her so heartbroken that she can't breathe.

Gongsun Ce looked at the golden traces of blood on the heart of Queen Mother of the West and raised his eyebrows.

Fake martial arts, such as Hundred-Step Flying Sword, can only kill people.

Real martial arts can kill people, save people, and have built-in sealing effects, such as the three unique skills of wind, cloud, rain and Wuding.

The Queen of Loulan was not dead at this time. She was just having the power that did not belong to her cleared away by the energy of the rain that brought down all things and destroyed the chaos.

After all, is martial arts such an inconvenient thing?

"Is this the creation of a strong person who has reached the state of unity between man and nature? Just by attaching it to an ordinary person, it can exert a power far superior to that of a person who has reached the state of unity between man and nature half a step. It is indeed extraordinary."

Bei Mingzi came to Gongsun Ce at this time, looking at the drop of sealed blood in his heart, his heart was churning.

Bei Mingzi was increasingly looking forward to the true power of the state of unity between man and nature.

"It's not a creation." Gongsun Ce shook his head, "It's a part of the other party. This is the heart blood of the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens."

After a brief observation, Gongsun Ce has discovered that this ruby-shaped thing is the heart blood of the Queen Mother of the West, that is to say, this thing is actually a part of the Queen Mother of the West.

Bei Mingzi felt a sudden sense of disappointment. He originally thought that this thing was similar to a famous sword, just a creation. He did not expect it to be a part of a powerful being who had reached the state of unity between man and nature.

In this way, the value of a strong person who has reached the state of unity between man and nature instantly drops.

“The state of unity between man and nature is very special. No matter how strong they are, the power they can differentiate is only equivalent to half a step into the state of unity between man and nature.

If one wants to differentiate out an incarnation that can forcibly accumulate power that is no less than that of the state of unity between man and nature, one can only differentiate out a part of oneself as a medium.

Senior Bei Mingzi also saw that when this thing was attached to the Queen of Loulan, it indeed allowed the Queen of Loulan to exert power close to the realm of unity between man and nature.

If I wasn't stronger, I'm afraid we would all die here today."

After saying this, Gongsun Ce prepared to leave and return to the Qin-Chu border in Nanyang County.

Before setting off, Gongsun Ce glanced at Bei Mingzi, indicating with his eyes whether he wanted to take a ride.

"Thank you for your concern, Commander." Bei Mingzi shook his head slightly, "But I want to stay and see the essence of the power of the state of unity between heaven and man."

The blood of the heart was in Gongsun Ce's hands, and Bei Mingzi was not convenient to ask for it, but there were real traces of the power of the unity of heaven and man left here, and Bei Mingzi wanted to stay and comprehend for a while. Since Bei Mingzi wanted to stay, Gongsun Ce would not say anything more. When the breeze came, Gongsun Ce's figure had disappeared into the sky.

At this time in the Wei Palace, King Jingmin of Wei was very panicked.

Wang Ben advanced at a rapid speed and had already captured two cities. He was still advancing rapidly. King Jingmin of Wei estimated that in less than half a year, Wang Ben would be at the gates of Daliang.

He certainly could not be considered a wise leader, but when disaster struck, he finally felt a sense of crisis.

Just when King Jingmin of Wei was feeling worried, the envoy of Lord Changping arrived.

Although Changping Jun did not have Tian Guang as a pawn to command the farmers, it was normal for powerful people in this era to have some retainers.

If this retainer was from the State of Wei, that would be normal. It would even be reasonable for him to want to go home to visit his relatives.

However, at this moment the Qin army was attacking Wei, and the return of Changping Jun's Wei retainers to Wei was very telling.

"Your Majesty, Lord Changping's retainers are waiting outside."

King Jingmin of Wei had a subtle expression, but he still ordered the other party to come to the emperor for an audience.

"Let him in."

"promise."

Mei Sanniang, wearing leather armor and with her short orange hair tied into a ponytail, entered the Wei Palace and stood in front of King Wei Jingmin. She did not salute, which made King Wei Jingmin frown slightly.

However, King Jingmin of Wei soon recognized the other party's identity as a former member of the Pijia Sect.

"I remember you. You are a disciple of the Pijia Sect, and now you have become a guest of Changping Jun. But, since you have met me, why don't you show your respect?"

"Heh." Mei Sanniang sneered and saluted, "Meet the king of a fallen country."

"you!"

The eunuch beside King Wei Jingmin was about to blame Mei Sanniang, but King Wei Jingmin raised his hand to stop him.

"I believe that Lord Changping is not a fool. He sent you here not only because you are familiar with the terrain of Wei, but also to irritate me.

So, I am very curious about what Changping Jun is planning. A prince of Chu State would not send his retainers to my Daliang just to ask you to visit your parents. "

Mei Sanniang looked at King Wei Jingmin coldly for a moment, then she threw a bamboo slip, which fell squarely on the table in front of King Wei Jingmin. Then Mei Sanniang left the Wei Palace without saying a word.

"Let her leave, don't stop her."

With the order from King Jingmin of Wei, Mei Sanniang left the Wei Palace unimpeded and headed for the Pijiamen garrison.

King Jingmin of Wei looked at the bamboo slips, pondered for a moment, then opened them and began to read.

The plan was simple, just two words - assassinate Qin.

Then came the specific plan, which detailed the moment when the defenses in the Xianyang Palace were the weakest.

Gongsun Ce was not in Xianyang at this time. Grandmaster Wei Liao followed Wang Ben to the battlefield. Grandmaster Guannei Hou stayed in Yongdi all year round. The Six-Fingered Black Knight was busy establishing the Xiezhi Lodge.

In other words, there was no grandmaster in Xianyang at that time, and Changping Jun was confident that he could persuade a grandmaster of the Chu State to take action as a secret move.

If King Jingmin of Wei is willing to cooperate, then he must find the master Jing Ke, who is currently traveling in Wei State, as his assistant.

By then, Jing Ke would be the apparent assassination team member. When Jing Ke's assassination attempt failed and the defense of Xianyang Palace was most lax, the Grand Master would wait for the opportunity and would surely be able to hit the target with one strike.

In the bamboo slips, Changping Jun explained in detail that the means to lure Jing Ke into action was Gongsun Li Ji. Ying Zheng seemed to be secretly searching for Gongsun Li Ji's whereabouts, and Gongsun Li Ji and Jing Ke were lovers.

As long as Gongsun Li Ji is presented to Ying Zheng, Jing Ke will definitely find a chance to rescue her. At this time, as long as Jing Ke is deceived, he will definitely be willing to go through fire and water.

King Jingmin of Wei thought for a moment and decided to capture Gongsun Liji and present her to Ying Zheng. As for the subsequent process, it had nothing to do with him.

King Jingmin of Wei judged others by his own experience. In his opinion, if Ying Zheng was really obsessed with Gongsun Li Ji, then once he offered Gongsun Li Ji to Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng should slow down his pace of attacking Wei.

As for what will happen to the State of Wei in the future, King Jingmin of Wei can only take it one step at a time.

This was exactly the effect that Changping Jun wanted. He only needed King Jingmin of Wei to capture Gongsun Li Ji and present her to Ying Zheng. Changping Jun would naturally complete the rest.

If possible, Changping Jun would not want to assassinate Ying Zheng at this time, because he had not yet returned to Chu, and had no opportunity to become the King of Chu.

However, while Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang and Meng Tian were chasing Xiang Yan, the young man Meng Yi had already captured cities and territories in the territory of Chu.

The Chu defenders were unable to resist Meng Yi's advance, and King Fu Chu of Chu was probably still mobilizing troops to repel Meng Yi and aid Xiang Yan.

No matter how strong Luowang's information blockade was, King Fu Chu of Chu would become suspicious if there was no military report for many days.

Therefore, when Gongsun Ce returned to the Qin-Chu border, the amount of intelligence sent by Luowang was already quite terrifying.

Gongsun Ce rested his head on Yan Lingji's lap, enjoying her massage service. He read the information silently, and then opened the Word Spirit·Tian Yan to perform calculations.

"My young master, is the situation very difficult?"

Gongsun Ce held Yan Lingji's hand, and looking at her jade-like hand, he felt a little better.

"It's not a difficult matter, I just find it very interesting. I once heard two very interesting titles - white moonlight and cinnabar mole.

The white moonlight usually refers to someone who is hoped for but cannot be possessed, the most perfect lover in one's heart, represents the pure and flawless first love, is the most beautiful imagination of love, and is often used to describe people or things that are loved but cannot be obtained.

The cinnabar mole refers to a person that you once had but can no longer embrace. It represents passionate love, which is the passionate love that a man once had but did not cherish and has lost. It is like an eternal pain, deeply engraved in a man's heart. "

"The King of Qin also has love that he cannot get?"

"Yes." Gongsun Ce nodded and answered Yan Lingji's doubts, "In the darkest moment of life, a beam of bright starlight came unexpectedly, and then this beam of light trapped a person's life."

Gongsun Ce originally thought that Ying Zheng was pursuing Gongsun Li Ji for the sake of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon, but based on the existing information, Gongsun Li Ji is indeed Ying Zheng's white moonlight.

After all, Ying Zheng is a king, not the overbearing president in some novels. As for Bai Yueguang, who is of use to him, he will only turn her into a bird in a cage instead of watching her happy.

In the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng was sleeping on the table, which was a rare occurrence. There were many bamboo slips beside his hands.

The production of bamboo paper does not mean that it can replace bamboo slips all at once. We still need to wait until the production of bamboo paper expands before promoting its use.

Ying Zheng had a dream. For Ying Zheng, he hadn't had a dream for a long time.

If you think about something, you will dream about it at night. Ying Zheng's thoughts were too heavy and his sleep was too shallow, so he could not remember the content of his dreams at all.

But tonight's dream was particularly clear. It was his first meeting with Gongsun Li Ji. For Ying Zheng, it was the light in the dark night.

Wei State, Daliang, a remote courtyard.

The sky was a little dim, and Jing Ke raised the wine gourd and poured it into his mouth a few times, but not a drop of wine came out.

"There's no more wine. I can't drink it. Junior sister, I'll go buy some wine. Remember to be alert and don't leave the courtyard. I'll be back soon."

Jing Ke, who was addicted to alcohol, stepped out of the rented courtyard and prepared to buy wine for himself. Before leaving, he gave Gongsun Liji a word of advice.

In this era, a man is innocent unless he possesses a treasure. Gongsun Liji's beauty is the biggest source of disaster.

Therefore, even when Jing Ke bought wine, he had to ask Gongsun Li Ji to protect herself and wait for his return.

In the small courtyard, Gongsun Li Ji sat alone at the stone table, holding a long sword in her hand, with worry flashing in her eyes.

The sky was completely dark, but Jing Ke had not returned, which made Gongsun Li Ji a little worried about Jing Ke.

However, she didn't know that Jing Ke was not in danger, but she was not necessarily.

Shortly after he left, a group of dark shadows suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

They were the Wei Wuzu, the most elite unit among the Wei soldiers.

They came here on the orders of King Jingmin of Wei, and they slowly approached Gongsun Li Ji.

Gongsun Liji sensed something strange around her. She looked up and saw the approaching dark shadows.

A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in her heart, but she did not back down.

She gripped her sword tightly, stood up, and prepared to face the sudden battle.

The leading Wei Wuzu was a burly man. He walked towards Gongsun Liji with a grim smile, the sword in his hand flashing coldly in the moonlight.

Gongsun Liji took a deep breath and swung her sword at the strong man. The long sword and the big knife collided, making a crisp metal collision sound.

Gongsun Liji only felt a huge force coming, her wrist was in great pain, and the sword almost slipped out of her hand.

However, she gritted her teeth and thrust her sword forward with all her might.

The long sword missed the sword and stabbed the strong man's clothes, but when it hit the opponent's muscles, it was as if it hit a hard steel plate.

Gongsun Liji was shocked. She understood the other party's identity. He had a strong set of horizontal training skills in Daliang, Wei State. He must be a Wei Wuzu or a Pijiamen.

However, Gongsun Liji had no grudges against the Pijia Gate, but her beauty was enough to attract the attention of King Jingmin of Wei, so Gongsun Liji guessed that the other party was the Wei Wuzu.

However, she did not back down and continued to attack with her sword.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang..."

Gongsun Liji's sword kept colliding with the body of the leading Wei Wuzu. Only pieces of clothing were seen flying, but no blood was splashed.

As time went by, Gongsun Liji's true energy was gradually exhausted.

Her movements became slower, but the Wei Wuzu's defense remained motionless.

When Gongsun Li Ji was completely exhausted, her sword was knocked away by the opponent, and she was knocked to the ground by a palm strike.

Seeing this, the rest of the Wei Wu soldiers gathered around and threw out a large net, which bound Gongsun Liji tightly.

Gongsun Liji struggled to break free from her restraints, but her true energy had been exhausted and she could only watch herself being taken away.

When Jing Ke came back from buying wine, all he saw was an empty courtyard and scattered wine glasses on the stone table.

His heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came over him.

He walked quickly into the courtyard and looked everywhere for Gongsun Li Ji, but he could not find her.

"Junior sister!"

Jing Ke's heart was filled with despair and regret.
