Chapter 118 The Jin State Scholar
The Spring and Autumn Brush transformed into a gigantic mountain peak, crashing down on Ye Ru with tremendous force. In an instant, its power spread outwards.
Looking at the listless Ye Ru, Xiao Bai's eyes turned somewhat red, and a strange pattern appeared on its forehead.
Then its body rapidly grew larger, eventually transforming into a giant demon rabbit, which then fiercely blasted at the Spring and Autumn Annals brush.
boom!
With a muffled thud, Confucius, who was suspended in the sky, suddenly let out a shrill scream, and in the last instant, he shattered into nothingness.
"noob!"
Suddenly, the Siku Quanshu (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries) began to tremble, and a stream of golden liquid dripped from its body, eventually flowing into the library palace.
In the blink of an eye, the Book Palace began to be built into a huge palace.
At the same time, Ye Ru's eyes regained their clarity.
"Ye Ru, this place is under the control of the Holy Dao's power. I need to go into slumber first. Be careful."
After Xiaobai finished speaking, she disappeared into Ye Ru's sleeve and said no more.
call out!
At this moment, Ye Ru was enveloped in a golden light, which eventually transformed into a golden rainbow that stretched for thousands of miles, and rushed directly toward the Liuan Palace.
"Nine floors completely destroyed, nine palaces connected, Ye Ru's talent..."
Kong Hexuan and the others were on the third floor when they saw that all nine palace lanterns in the sky were connected in a red line, causing an uproar.
If the nine-square grid is connected, it means that one person has completed the test on the ninth floor, and Xiao Ke has already left. So the only person who can be found is Ye Ru, who climbed to the ninth floor!
"Damn it, how is it possible for the nine palaces to be connected? This means we'll be at least five thousand meters behind!"
Han Lu and the others all had gloomy expressions. There must be a fourth-grade literary treasure in the Liuan Palace, and even the legendary "Taiping Yaoshu" might be inside.
……
At this moment, Ye Ru was enveloped in an extremely comfortable golden aura. Although Ye Ru did not know what it was, he knew it was definitely a good thing.
"Where is this place?"
The golden rainbow that stretched for miles vanished in an instant. At this moment, Ye Ru arrived in a forest. The forest was shady, and the roars of wild beasts echoed continuously, giving people an unusual sense of unease.
Ye Ru looked up and found that the Liuan King's Palace in the distance was very close.
boom!
Just as Ye Ru was about to leave, a muffled sound rang out from afar, causing him to look up immediately. He saw a young man dressed in a yin-yang robe fighting with a person dressed in Legalist attire.
"Xiao Ke from the Yin-Yang School? When did this Legalist arrive so quickly? And judging from his talent, he seems to be a scholar?"
Ye Ru's eyes widened in shock. How could there be a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examination) here? Logically, they should all be Xiucai (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examination) or Tongsheng (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examination).
"Let's go take a look first."
After reciting the protective poem "To My Brother, My Brother" to add another layer of protection for himself, Ye Ru hurriedly headed in that direction.
"The Yin-Yang School? This is the first time I've seen it. The Liuan Secret Realm is not something your Yanhuang Kingdom can touch. Acting when it's feasible and retreating when it's difficult is the best policy of an army."
The Legalist scholar smiled slightly and said to Xiao Ke.
"Your attire isn't that of Legalist scholars from the Yanhuang Kingdom? You're from the Jin Kingdom?"
Xiao Ke's expression remained impassive beneath his mask, but he seemed extremely shocked as he spoke.
"The State of Jin?"
Ye Ru hid in a grove of trees and pondered for a moment. The Jin Kingdom and the Yanhuang Kingdom had always been enemies. Back then, the strategists of the Jin Kingdom had allied with the Liang Kingdom and the Shu Kingdom, and the three kingdoms joined forces to attack the Yanhuang Kingdom. The Yanhuang Kingdom almost lost its territory and became a vassal state of the other side.
The decline of the Yanhuang Kingdom over the years has been due to the secret machinations of the Jin Kingdom.
Moreover, Xiao Ke's speed is really fast. His speed in connecting the Nine Palaces is actually on par with that of the other party. How did these scholars get through that mirage?
However, before Ye Ru could even think about it, talent was quietly emerging from afar.
"You guessed right. As the saying goes, the wonders of the world belong to the capable. Your Yanhuang Kingdom has never produced many successful candidates in the imperial examinations, so we were the only ones who could be sent here."
The Legalist scholar smiled slightly, his expression extremely sincere, but the brush in his hand brimmed with talent and was incredibly sharp.
"Although my Yin-Yang School is declining, your Jin Kingdom is not capable of coveting the things of the Yanhuang Kingdom!"
Xiao Ke's gaze, hidden behind his mask, gradually sharpened to the point of being as piercing as a blade. Finally, he took out a paintbrush and a sheet of Xuan paper.
"Then we can only eliminate you in secret, and then gradually eliminate all the students of your Yanhuang Kingdom."
The Legalist scholar's expression gradually turned cold, and then his brush moved rapidly across the paper:
"The cold sword asks the Dao, the Dao asks the Heavens; a thousand-mile rainbow flies, blood overflows the river; Jing Ke's map is unrolled, the dagger is revealed; the King of Qin will not be allowed to swallow the Yan pill!"
War Poem!
As the poem ended, a burst of talent shot out two feet, then transformed into a phantom image of Jing Ke. Jing Ke held a cold sword in his left hand and a dagger appeared in his right. In just a few flashes, he rushed out several feet, and amidst the flashing blades, he thrust his sword at Xiao Ke's head.
At that moment, Xiao Ke looked at the swordsman Jing Ke and quickly began to draw, soon sketching out a mountain painting.
Defensive battle plan!
The mountain map was drawn out, forming a phantom of a large mountain, which eventually enveloped Xiao Ke.
boom!
The swordsman Jing Ke pierced the illusory mountain with his sword, and a burst of brilliant light exploded out instantly. However, Xiao Ke was only a student of the first level of literature, while Jing Ke was a illusory figure of Jing Ke who possessed the first level of battle poetry. Its power was worlds apart from that of the battle painting.
"Crack!"
At that moment, a cracking sound rang out, followed by the mountain shattering into countless pieces of ink, which then completely disappeared.
And in an instant, the cold sword in Jing Ke's hand stabbed towards Xiao Ke.
Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Ke's pupils shrank instantly, and the image of the swordsman Jing Ke rapidly enlarged in his eyes.
"The Yanhuang Kingdom has no capable people, and the path to national destruction is imminent."
Surrounded by the mocking voices of the Legalist scholar, Xiao Ke closed his eyes, seemingly resigned to his fate, a bitter smile playing on his lips.
"I never imagined that the Yin Yang School's mission to restore the nation would be ruined by my own hands..."
Swordsman Jing Ke drew ever closer to the mocking face of the Legalist scholar, but just as he was about to pierce Xiao Ke's head, an arrow brimming with boundless talent pierced through Jing Ke's body in an instant.
"who!"
The Legalist scholar raised his head and let out a sharp shout, but when he saw the Flying General behind Xiao Ke, who was wearing silver armor and holding Li Guang's bow, his pupils immediately shrank to the size of pinholes.
"Li Guang, the Flying General?"
A murmur escaped from the mouth of the Legalist scholar, followed by a handsome young man dressed in a white Zhuge robe slowly emerging from the bushes. He took two steps forward, stood before Xiao Ke, and then slightly raised his head. His chilling voice echoed throughout the land:
"Who says our Yanhuang Kingdom has no capable people?"
