Chapter 388
388 The turbulent past, chasing the waves
The soul refining site was set up in the old location of the firearms factory on the outskirts of the city. This place used to produce gunpowder and cannons, and was under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Household Department. After the Foreign Affairs movement failed, it was idle.
When the Taoist master chose the site, he chose this place. He said that it was a place with extreme yang and had been nourished by gunpowder for many years. It was extremely yang and was the most suitable place to refine the unparalleled war spirit.
Therefore, an altar was secretly built here, and the array was engraved. Thirteen forces participated in it, and each showed what they had learned to build the array for the unparalleled war spirit.
For this array, in order to explore the means of refining the unparalleled war spirit, countless Masters worked hard, and after nearly half a century of exploration and attempts, they finally carved out this unprecedented array.
Li Qiyun stood by the altar and looked at the girl lying in the middle of the pool. Her eyes were closed, as if she was asleep.
She was wearing a moon-white cheongsam. Her makeup was exquisite, her eyebrows were drawn, and she had red paper on her lips. She was so beautiful. His daughter was just that beautiful.
If she had learned to dress up as soon as possible, no matter how bad her reputation was, there would be a lot of young masters fighting to marry her.
Compared to his daughter, princesses and princesses, other than their better background, they could not be compared to his che ‘er in any way.
As he thought about it, li Qiyun’s eyes became wet.
“In another hour, the auspicious hour will arrive.” Someone behind him said.
The weapon of the nation, the divine technique of creation.
Refining an existence like the unparalleled war spirit was like the Emperor worshiping heaven. It was sacred and related to the fate of a country. How could it be sloppy? naturally, it had to be chosen on an auspicious day.
The one who spoke was an old man with white hair and a white beard. He was also one of the leaders of the soul refining plan. Itinerant San Yuan.
At the beginning of the soul tampering plan, the person in charge of it was loose cultivator San Yuan’s master, and he had been assisting and learning from the side. After half a century, he took this task from his master and devoted his life to studying the soul refining formation.
It could be said that half of the credit for the creation of the soul refining formation was given to the disciples of three aeons.
“Is there really no problem with the soul training plan?” Li Qiyun didn’t turn his head and asked in a deep voice.
“You were also one of the participants. Back then, you even studied the formation with your father.” There was a hoarseness unique to old people in loose cultivator San Yuan’s voice. in the blink of an eye, you’re already 40 years old and I’m 70 years old. Two whole generations. Everything’s ready, only the east wind is lacking.”
Li Qiyun was a little absent-minded. In order to make the Li family rise again, his father participated in the refining plan of the unparalleled war spirit. As a family of refining weapons, the Li family naturally had the qualifications. As the heir, he had to participate in the research with his father.
However, he never thought that the ultimate creation, the unparalleled war spirit, who entered the array, would be his daughter.
“I’m never worried about the plan failing. I’m worried about whether the unparalleled war spirit is really what we want. What kind of existence is she? can she still be called a human?”
“It’s not a human, it’s a God,”
“Can a God be controlled by a human?”
This question made loose cultivator San Yuan silent. After a long time, he sighed and said, ” “Turn around and look at the people below.”
Li Qiyun turned his head as he was told. Below him were the representatives of the 13 forces. A total of hundreds of people had gathered here. A black mass of heads had come to watch the ceremony.
They were waiting for the birth of the unparalleled war spirit, waiting to witness a historical moment.
With. knife on his neck, he had to succeed even if he didn’t … “If you can’t control it, then seal it,” San Yuan said softly. But I think you’re just worrying for nothing.”
The auspicious time had arrived.
The runes that had been carved on the altar and were still new after being exposed to the elements slowly lit up, and the majestic spiritual power of heaven and earth gathered toward the center of the altar. The spiritual power was ” baptized ” by the array into runes that slowly climbed up the girl’s body until it was completely wrapped.
She woke up when she felt the powerful spiritual energy pouring into her. The spiritual energy that had poured into her body was transformed into pure Qi, and her realm rose at a moderate speed.
However, there was no end to it. After more than two hours of patience and anxiety, the demon descendants below the altar suddenly realized this surprising situation.
The aura that was slowly growing until it made them tremble in fear had not reached the bottleneck and was still rising.
The spiritual energy was cleansing her meridians and changing her physique from the inside out, allowing her to be separated from her mortal body.
what a powerful force … Lord Li, you’ve given birth to a good daughter, a good daughter.”
At this moment, the seventy-year-old man was as excited as a child, dancing with joy.
With the old man’s eyes, he could naturally see that she was devouring spiritual power for her own use, which led to this almost endless improvement.
Li Luan began to cough up blood. The runes on the surface of her body collapsed, and many parts of her body collapsed to varying degrees. This was because her physical body could no longer withstand the force.
“Hurry, hurry up and present the Dragon Ball.” Loose cultivator three aeons shouted.
The Dragon Ball was placed on a tray covered with red cloth, and it was presented by a disciple of loose cultivator San Yuan.
Loose cultivator San Yuan controlled the Dragon Pearl to slip into Li Yan’s mouth, and the runes and body immediately stopped collapsing, and then slowly recovered.
The Dragon Pearl was extremely compatible with her. When li rufeng fused with the Dragon Pearl that day, it was intermittent, but Li Yan and the Dragon Pearl were in perfect harmony instantly.
The Dragon Pearl was an indestructible treasure. It was integrated with li Luan, which was the foundation of the unparalleled body of the unparalleled war spirit.
In theory, there was no limit to the strengthening ability. However, even the Dragon Ball had its limits.
“The Dragon Pearl made her, but it is also a shackle. Lord li, it’s time for you to take the last step.” Loose cultivator three aeons said excitedly.
Li Qiyun was silent. He cut his wrist and sprinkled Scarlet blood.
Loose cultivator San Yuan mumbled something and cast an incantation in the Dragon Ball.
“Everything in the world can be cut off, but blood relations can’t be cut. If anything happens to her, you will seal her with your own hands.” Said loose cultivator three aeons.
Today, at noon.
The first unparalleled war spirit in history was born.
In the ancient books of Taoism and Buddhism, it was recorded that in the 26th year of Guangxu, the war spirit was born and the world changed.
The unparalleled war spirit represented the peak of personal strength. No one knew what would happen in the future, but in the past 400 years, there had never been a master at the peak of Gokudo path.
Even during the great Qing Dynasty’s dragon-slaying era, when it was at its peak, there had never been such a peak in the world.
……
On the 14th of August, in the early morning, there was still some time before the sun rose, but the Alliance Army was like a hungry wolf that had seen a piece of fat meat. They didn’t want to wait any longer and launched a general attack on the capital.
Kansai Murray looked at the sleeping Ancient capital. It was the capital of the Qing Dynasty and the Holy Land in the hearts of 400 million people. However, it was too old, as old as a dying Tiger. The hunters surrounded it, intending to cut off more valuable things from it, such as tiger skin, tiger bones, tiger teeth … They were all good things.
As the leader of the Murray family, he had the obligation to gain more benefits for the family. Even though the family had earned enough benefits in the two Opium Wars, the two Opium Wars were not enough. However, that was not enough to satisfy the family’s appetite. On the contrary, because this piece of cake was delicious, not only the Empire of the Sun never sets, but the Western powers had also joined in, setting off a craze to divide the Qing Dynasty.
For example, the Qing Dynasty’s Northern neighbor had a keen sense of smell and unique vision. In the Yaro war (the Second Opium War), they directly took away 1.5 million square kilometers of the Qing Dynasty’s land, which was seven times the total land area of the sun never sets Empire.
In this battle against the Alliance, Russia not only responded actively, but also conducted a massacre in Harland bubbles, killing thousands of China people. A few days later, more than ten thousand residents of Jiangdong’s 64th village were driven to the edge of Heilongjiang to be slaughtered. The rest were driven into Heilongjiang and drowned, only a few people survived.
Thinking of this, conse looked at the leader of the demon descendants forces from Russia, Kennick Anderson, and provoked, ” “Kennich, do you dare to bet again?”
On the eve of the attack, the demon descendants leaders of several countries gathered together to discuss how to attack the demon descendants of the Qing Dynasty and how to divide the city.
Some of them were the leaders of the Army, and some were simply the leaders of demon descendants forces. They followed the country’s Army to battle. Their main responsibility was to deal with the demon descendants of the Qing Dynasty, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals.
The Qing Dynasty’s Army was a motley crew with no morale to speak of. On the other hand, the demon descendants were quite brave and willing to risk their lives.
bet? ” kenick Anderson raised his eyebrows. how? ”
The Alliance Army was not harmonious. They had come to divide up this rotten country and were competitors.
same old rules, ” said Kansai. whoever kills the most demon descendants, five hundred pounds per head.
“Alright,” kennich snorted coldly. The investigator said that there were 100000 … The Army to save the Emperor. Yes, it seemed to be called the Army to save the Emperor. I can kill you until you go bankrupt.”
“Save the Emperor?”
“They are the soldiers that the nobles come to help the king.”
“It’s just a motley crew. There’s a high chance that they won’t dare to make a move.”
The demon descendant commanders of the other countries laughed.
What a unique vision. A country’s capital was besieged, and there were 400 million people from all over the country. Only 100000 troops came to save the Emperor. And these so-called Army did not make a move until the capital was broken through. They just watched as the capital was ransacked and the people in the city were slaughtered.
Among the armies protecting the capital, only the GaN Army was fighting bravely to protect the capital.
if we can meet a demon descendant who fought bravely like last time, let’s have another bet. Two thousand pounds for the head. Kennich said, unconvinced.
“No problem,” he said.
The last time in Jin city, he met a very powerful master. In the situation where the Qing army was scattered and fled, he fought to the death and did not retreat. He was surrounded and killed more than a dozen demon descendants. Finally, he was tortured to death by the wolf tactics. In the end, it was conse who picked up the opportunity and cut off his head. Kennick even lost 2000 pounds.
These days, 2000 pounds was enough for an ordinary person to buy a good house in the capital of the sun never sets Empire and live a rich life. Of course, to them, it was a small amount of money.
“I’ll join too.”
The one who spoke was Sakurai Kojiro from Japan.
In this coalition, the leaders of the most powerful demon descendants organizations were all here. The Murray family of the sun never sets Empire, the Cape family of France, the Anderson family of Russia, the Sakurai family of Japan, the Green family of the United States, and the Kashub family of Germany.
As he spoke, bris Carpe suddenly warned, ” “Be careful, they’re coming out.”
On the city wall in the distance, many figures had appeared out of nowhere. They stood on the city wall, silently looking at the demon descendants group in the coalition.
It was easy to explain the aura of the same kind. As soon as their eyes met, they knew that he was not an ordinary person.
“Did they just come down?” Reynold Kashub sneered.
Naturally, they didn’t dare to, just like how they didn’t dare to enter the city without permission for fear of being surrounded. They had to rely on the Army to slowly advance and attack the city together.
Thus, the strength of an ordinary person was actually very great.
At this time, a woman in a cheongsam, surrounded by demon descendants, climbed up the city wall.
In the early morning, that pair of Scarlet pupils made the demon descendants of various countries feel a chill in their hearts from hundreds of meters away. They couldn’t help but explode.
“Boom boom boom!”
As if it had been bombarded, a part of the city wall collapsed. In fact, it was the woman who had crushed a small part of the city wall with one step.
She flew across the sky like a meteor, flying towards Kenney and the others.
“Bang!”
The first to react was Sakurai Kojiro. He raised a Mauser rifle he had seized from the dagukou Armory and fired decisively.
Even the world’s most Advanced Rifle could not cause any harm to a powerful demon descendant, unless the other party did not Dodge and let you hit the vital point, and it was not a physically strong type.
However, the Sakurai family’s special ability could add their own mental power attack to the bullets, so that ordinary bullets could also cause huge mental damage to demon descendants, and even destroy their primordial spirit on the spot.
The bullet whistled as it shot toward the woman’s forehead.
Ding! Ding!
In the darkness before dawn, a spark flashed. It was the spark from the bullet hitting between her eyebrows, as if it had hit steel.
“Bang Bang Bang!”
The bullets were shot out one by one. These bullets that were endowed with spiritual penetration damage were enough to confuse the minds of ordinary demon descendants. However, the bullets could not cause any damage, and the mental power attached to them was like a mud cow entering the sea.
“There’s such an expert in the Qing Dynasty?” Sakurai Kojiro shouted in shock.
The country had come to an end. Not only was the system corrupt, but the People’s lives were bleak, and even the demon descendants ‘community had fallen into a low point. The island country, which had been coveting the former owner, knew the current situation of the Qing Dynasty the best.
This was Sakurai Kojiro’s last sentence. The woman descended from the sky and slapped him on the head.
The blood mist exploded, and under the stunned gazes of the demon descendants, Sakurai Kojiro’s body was blown to pieces, just like the Qing soldiers who were killed by a big cannon.
When did such a person appear in the Qing Dynasty’s demon descendants community?
“Who killed li rufeng?” The unparalleled war spirit hung in the air and looked down coldly at the demon descendants leaders.
“And who are you?” Conse Murray narrowed his eyes and held the long sword at his waist. Cixi has such a backbone? Aren’t you afraid that the army of the Empire of the unsetting sun will massacre the Qing Dynasty?”
In this era, not to mention a demon descendant leader like him, even the ordinary officers among the foreigners dared to point at Cixi’s nose and scold her.
This was an era where foreigners were lawless.
In their eyes, the Qing Dynasty was a little brother that they had beaten up over and over again. This time, the Alliance Army attacked Beijing for two purposes: Annihilate the Peace Alliance and beat up the little brother.
“It doesn’t matter,” She said indifferently, ” all of you, listen up. You’ve offended the Qing Dynasty and killed our people. Wherever you go, corpses will float all over the ground. The people will live in misery. I, the unparalleled war spirit, sentence you to death!”
BOOM!
The response she got was a Cannonball from a distance. It was very accurate and hit the unparalleled war spirit in the air. It was the demon descendants of the Western powers who had reacted and supported their leader from a distance.
More demon descendants took out their alchemy weapons and rushed towards the unparalleled war spirit.
Guns and cannons helped the Western powers colonize the world, but these weapons that were invincible against ordinary people had limited lethality against demon descendants. The more powerful the demon descendants were, the less afraid they were of firearms.
In the world before World War II, demon descendants were still active on the battlefield.
The gunpowder exploded on the unparalleled war Spirit’s body. At the same time, bris Carpe appeared silently behind the unparalleled war spirit. The two beautiful military knives in his hands crossed and slashed, ready to cut off her head.
Against demon descendants, alchemy weapons were the most effective, as they could easily kill the enemy.
Kenick Anderson’s muscles swelled, and his coat puffed up like a cannonball that shot into the sky.
Before the two of them could make a move, the leader of the Green family had already snapped his fingers and detonated the air around her.
Ding! Ding!
The two military sabers hit the back of the unparalleled war Spirit’s neck, creating dazzling sparks.
‘How is this possible …’
Bris Carpe was known as the Grim Reaper on the battlefield, a top killer. As long as he had his eyes on someone, he could kill them no matter how well-protected they were. The history of the Cape dynasty was very interesting. At first, he was an assassin, and the blood descendants of the Cape family were the Super Assassins who dared to take the head of the enemy general in the midst of thousands of soldiers and horses with two bayonets in their hands.
He continued to make contributions, kill enemies, develop his power, and finally unify France and establish the Cape dynasty.
It would be a disgrace to the Cape family if the Assassin’s family history was made known. On the surface, he began to wash his hands of the assassin career and never mentioned the assassin career of his ancestors. But in the dark, there was still a tradition of training the family’s demon descendants. They trained the good seedlings into top assassins to serve the Cape dynasty.
Bris Carpe was one of the best assassins of his generation. He had killed countless people, but he had never seen an enemy with such a monstrous body. It was so monstrous that his knife couldn’t even leave a white mark.
There was a saying in the world of assassins that any failure could be the end of one’s life.
Bris Carpe’s assassin career came to an end here, and he was about to pay the price of his life for his failure.
The unparalleled war spirit did not look back. She grabbed his throat with one arm, and the Qi in her palm flowed out like a flood. puff … The flesh and blood were like dirt that had been washed away by a flood, leaving only a spine that was connected to the head in her palm.
At the same time, the unparalleled war spirit spun and kicked sideways, kicking the head of kenick Anderson, who was shot like a cannonball. The headless body fell, and blood spurted out of his neck.
The spine turned into long hair and was thrown out. The head of the Green family’s leader exploded like a watermelon.
In four moves, he killed the leaders of the demon descendant organizations in Russia, Britain, the United States, and Japan.
The whole place was silent. The remaining demon descendants ‘leaders were all cold, and a huge fear exploded in their hearts.
On the city wall, the Qing Dynasty blood kins who were watching the battle from afar burst into earth-shattering cheers after a brief silence.
Some were crying, some were hugging and cheering, some were beating their chests and stomping their feet, each expressing their excited emotions.
The soul refining plan was a success.
At the moment of life and death for the Qing court, when the capital was isolated and without help, when the morale of the whole country was low and they had no intention to fight, they finally cultivated the unparalleled war spirit, who turned the tide and helped the building to fall.
At this time, more and more demon descendants gathered at the top of the city wall. Not only were the demon descendant forces participating in the soul refining plan, but the demon descendant forces in the various armies and demon descendant experts in the Peace Alliance had also come to watch the legendary unparalleled war spirit.
Once upon a time, the foreign demon descendants that made them helpless were simply vulnerable in front of the unparalleled war spirit.
Just as the demon descendants of the Qing Dynasty were crying with joy, the unparalleled war spirit had already killed all the leaders and began to slaughter the demon descendants. Like a Wolf entering a flock of sheep, she was unstoppable.
No one was her opponent. Under the power of the unparalleled war spirit, ordinary demon descendants were no different from top S-Class. It was just one move.
‘Kill them all, kill them all …
Huang ‘er, kill them all …
His father’s heart-wrenching voice and his eldest brother’s body that had yet to be found appeared in his mind. In the end, they all fell silent and returned to one thought:
Kill everyone, just kill them all. I’m born for killing.
Her eyes became redder and redder, and a cold hostility rose from the bottom of her heart. The unparalleled war spirit gradually lost control in the killing.
She killed all the demon descendants in her sight, but her desire for blood did not diminish. Instead, it became stronger. It was as if the Door to Hell had been opened, and a beast that had been hungry for countless years had crawled out.
“Eh … What’s going on? she’s looking at us.”
“Hiss, what a terrifying gaze.”
kill! Why don’t you continue killing? there are so many foreigners.
When the Qing Dynasty demon descendants on the city wall found it strange, the unparalleled war Spirit’s Scarlet eyes had already locked onto them.
She didn’t seem to be interested in ordinary people, but she showed a strong aggression towards demon descendants.
The unparalleled war spirit killed her way back to the top of the city wall. In an instant, broken limbs flew everywhere. Lives were like rice grains, harvested one by one.
“What’s going on? why are they attacking us?”
“My God, what kind of monster did you refine … Ah!”
“Demon, she’s. demon …”
In the later ancient books of Taoism and Buddhism, there was a clear record: Year Geng, August 14th, the unparalleled war spirit suddenly lost control and slaughtered hundreds of demon descendants. Blood stained the city wall, and no one survived. At that time, thousands of demon descendants of the Allied forces had been killed.
When the later generations read this record, they could not imagine how bloody and cruel the scene was.
…….
When li Qiyun received the news and rushed to the top of the city wall, all the people were dead. Li Luan stood silently on the city wall, corpses lying all over the ground under her feet, covered in blood.
The person who had informed him was one of the leaders of the soul refining plan, loose cultivator San Yuan. When he had barged into the Li mansion, li Qiyun had been paying respects to his son.
The old man’s heart had been taken away. It was hard to imagine how he had survived the ten-mile journey from the outside of the city to the Li residence. It was probably regret, responsibility, or some other emotion that supported the old man’s body.
“Unparalleled war spirit …” I lost control.” Before the old man died, he held li Qiyun’s hand tightly, tears streaming down his face. you’re right. That’s not a power that mortals should have, and it’s not a power that mortals can control.
what happened? old master, please explain clearly. How did you lose control? ” “My daughter …” Li Qiyun wailed.
The old man only knew that the unparalleled war spirit had suddenly lost control and was bloodthirsty. He could not tell if it was a problem with the array, the problem with the unparalleled war spirit itself, and the problem with the Dragon Ball. Or perhaps all three.
He couldn’t explain it clearly. If he could, he wouldn’t have been so unprepared.
The unparalleled war spirit!
She was the first one in ancient times. Even the seniors who designed her might not be able to figure out what the unparalleled war spirit was.
“Seal her, I must seal her … Otherwise, she would have killed even more people.”
The efforts of two generations to refine an unparalleled war spirit should have saved the country and the people. Who would have thought that he would refine such a huge disaster?
The old man died with his eyes wide open.
“Huang. er …”
Li Qiyun climbed up the city wall and saw a face full of murderous intent.
As soon as the words left his mouth, his throat was grabbed by an iron plier-like hand. With just a little force, his neck could be twisted and broken.
“Father, I can’t control it, I can’t control it …”
At this moment, she seemed to suppress her desire to kill with great willpower. She looked at her father with tears rolling down her face.
Father, I can’t control myself!
This sentence was like a sharp arrow that pierced through li Qiyun’s heart, which had long been riddled with thousands of holes.
He knew that he would lose this daughter forever.
“It’s father who has let you down. It’s father who is wrong. I’ve already asked your Butler to bring your sister-in-law to a safe place.”
He whispered an address into her ear.
“Now that things have come to this, I don’t ask for anything else but two things. I hope Chen ‘er will agree to them.”
Two things:
1. Survive.
2. Protect the last of the Li family.
This was his father’s last request.
On August 14th, the unparalleled war spirit was sealed, and the whereabouts of the Dragon Ball were unknown.
On the 16th day, the Alliance Army occupied the capital, and Cixi escaped. The Alliance Army burned, killed, pillaged, and slaughtered more than one hundred thousand people, regardless of gender or age. The country’s supervisor wine King Yi Rong didn’t want to be humiliated and his whole family committed suicide.
1901, September 7th, Li Hongzhang signed the Xin Chou treaty on behalf of the Qing government with other countries.
In the tenth month of the same year, the Li family stole the Dragon Pearl, refined the war spirit, and executed the entire family of the Barbarian race.
Since then, China had been completely reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, opening the most humiliating chapter in its 5000-year history.
