Chapter 515: Fear Me Like a Tiger
The river level subsided, mud and rocks poured into the gullies, and the natural disasters caused by the heavy rain were solved one by one by Li Changxiao's flick of the dream thread. It can't be said that he has great magical powers.
His spiritual energy loss was minimal, or even no loss at all. Those furrows were plowed out inch by inch by him with his warrior strength. It was hard for the Qingping Sword, as swordsmen seldom kill people. When the sword is unsheathed, no blood is seen, only soil.
He also said that the river level subsided because when the water level rose to a certain level, the underground channels he had dug in advance would drain the water to other places. Human power could not resist the will of heaven, but we must have the courage to resist heaven.
The gods of mountains and rivers hid in the dark, but that didn't mean they knew Li Changxiao's position and direction. They only knew his approximate position, perhaps because they were extremely afraid of Li Changxiao, who had killed three powerful mermaids in a row.
That deliberate move was a battle of wits, a test, and a consumption. They used the heaven and earth as a chessboard, and the people of this place as stakes, to play against Li Changxiao. Mountains and rivers were connected, and the sky and the earth were set off. The deadly situation had already enveloped them.
Li Changxiao looked up at the sky and down at the earth. The battle was already set. It was between these ten mountain ranges, nine rivers, five cities, and twelve villages.
Strictly speaking... the location of this battle was chosen by Li Changxiao himself. He did not want to involve the common people, so he deliberately headed towards a sparsely populated area.
However, clues were revealed halfway through, allowing those who were interested to guess something, so they decided on this game early on. It didn't matter. Whether it was a battle of wits, a question of the Tao, or a question of the conscience, he continued one by one. Li Changxiao's mind was clear, with a faint smile on his lips.
Now he has a clear understanding of the situation. All the gods cherish their lives and fear him like a tiger. They use up all their strength in advance and then kill him with thunder. However, he does not know that the more they do this, the more opportunities they give Li Changxiao.
Even the great masters who sit far away in the sky don't know that there are such contradictory people in this world. How can they, the barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood, who were born as human beings but do not regard themselves as human beings, know?
The rain never stopped, the wind blew through the treetops, and the whistling sound brought with it waves of laughter, scolding, provocation, and mockery. These sounds were not actually heard, but like the glance of a stranger, even if it was a quick glance, one could still understand something.
The fight begins.
The heaven and earth were mocking them. What kind of cultivators were they? Now they were nothing but trapped beasts. What kind of emperors were they? Their bodies were like ants, but their hearts were as high as the sky.
Wang Ruyi understood, and his nails dug into his palms, the pain went straight into his heart, and anger rushed to his heart. Li Changxiao patted his shoulder and smiled back, not caring about the invisible mockery at all, let alone anger.
Let them laugh; those bursts of sarcasm are but the music of the sword.
Ten mountains, nine rivers, five cities and twelve villages make up the chessboard. In such a range, the amount of water vapor condensed here is extremely difficult to estimate. This heavy rain, which can be described as "ferocious", will take at least seven days.
This battle lasted for seven days. Unfortunately, the common people were trapped in the chess game, so they became bargaining chips. And because of the test, the gods of mountains and rivers knew that Li Changxiao would not ignore the common people...
The God of Mountains and Rivers was preparing for the next battle.
Li Changxiao considered it carefully and took Wang Ruyi into the city. The five cities were Tiezhou City, Jiangkou City, Longjun City, Shanga City, and Lianyu City.
The twelve villages are scattered across the ten mountains and nine rivers.
Just now, mudslides and surging rivers, natural disasters almost affected all the places near the twelve villages. Therefore, the most urgent task, and also the key to the battle, is to transfer the people of the twelve villages to the five cities, which are relatively safe.
After entering the city, Wang Ruyi went straight to the government office and kicked open the county magistrate's door. As an emperor, he controlled the power in the city. There were some twists and turns, but it was still smooth.
The city they entered was called Jiangkou City. The city was affected by heavy rain. Along the way, many people's houses had their tiles blown away, their houses were damaged, and they were all wet.
The water on the ground was as high as the ankles. Wang Ruyi frowned at the sight. He grabbed the county magistrate and asked her how the drainage channel was built. At this rate, Jiangkou City would be flooded by rain in less than half a day, not to mention seven days, and millions of people would become floating corpses on the water.
The county magistrate was terrified and dared not hide the fact that he was greedy for wealth and had pocketed all the money allocated by the court for the construction of drainage channels.
He had not expected that Jiangkou City would encounter such a heavy rain. Wang Ruyi was furious and pulled out a long sword from the roadside and stabbed the county magistrate to death. The county magistrate fell into the water, and his blood stained the ground red. Everyone in Jiangkou City was surprised by Wang Ruyi's cruelty and decisiveness.
In this way, Wang Ruyi took control of Jiangkou City and without stopping for a moment, he divided his men into two groups, one to dig drainage channels, and the other to go out in the rain to the other four cities and twelve villages included in the chessboard.
Wang Ruyi arranged the reasons, and at this time, a new round of fighting began.
All the gods of mountains and rivers are afraid of Li Changxiao. The fundamental purpose of the battle is to kill or consume Li Changxiao through the joint efforts of all parties.
Deplete their spiritual energy and destroy their spiritual determination.
When the time comes, when you join in and kill again, don't be fooled by the huge momentum. In fact, for the gods of mountains and rivers, with the help of the position of the god of incense and offerings, many people will work together to cheer and cast spells.
It didn't consume much spiritual energy at all. On the other hand, Li Changxiao's total spiritual energy was no match for them. He was at a great disadvantage in the battle.
However, because the gods were afraid, they all hid outside the chessboard and did not dare to get close. They had already prepared a foolproof plan. The mountains and rivers were connected, and if Li Changxiao broke it by force, he would be able to break out of the shackles set by the gods.
The loss is even greater. Moreover, the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. If Li Changxiao charges in forcefully, what kind of end will he face? Needless to say. All around, it is a dead end, so there is constant laughter and mockery among the mountains and rivers.
Outside the chess game.
The gods were hiding in various places, and they didn't know the details of the situation, but they could roughly guess one or two. Some people deduced and calculated the situation. The white-clothed man who threw the gourd discovered that Dayu was doing something fishy, and wanted to tip him off to prove that he had human intentions. It's not that he was careless, but he still considered himself a human.
And take the life and death of human beings into consideration.
This kind of person is a stupid fool who likes to do things that are impossible and prefers to be open-minded. In this battle, he is already invincible.
If my guess is correct, the next step for the player in the chess game will be to get in touch with all the cities.
The gods played tricks again, and the whole world seemed to have turned into a carnival.
