„ HaHaHa, you spoke incorrectly, now this Northern Saint Province also is really Zhao Hai look at Meng Wudi, laughs to say. “哈哈哈,你说错了,现在这北圣州还真就是我家的,这里也不是你想来就能来,想走就能走的地方。”赵海看着孟无敌,哈哈大笑道。 The Meng Wudi look at Zhao Hai appearance, sneering said: „big word is not remnant, depends on you, dares to regard your house/family Northern Saint Province.” 孟无敌看着赵海的样子,冷笑道：“大言不残,就凭你,也敢把北圣州当成你家的。” Zhao Hai slightly smiled said: „also don’t know is who, was frightened by my a few words travelled, right, in the past, wants to assassinate me with the poisonous fellow, what a pity, he also becomes one in my undead army now, what kind of? Do you want to see him?” 赵海微微一笑道：“也不知道是什么人,被我一句话就吓得跑路了,对了,前一段时间,一个会用毒的家伙还想刺杀我,可惜啊,他现在也成为了我不死大军中的一员,怎么样？你想不想见见他？” Meng Wudi one hear of Zhao Hai said, the air/Qi results in the tooth to fasten to nip, ruthless sound said: „Zhao Hai, my sooner or later must tear you to shreds.” 孟无敌一听赵海这么说,气得牙关紧咬,狠声道：“赵海,我早晚要将你碎尸万断。” Zhao Hai slightly smiled said: „said that so many wasting breath, attacks.” Said that Zhao Hai proceeds to wield, Undead Creature army immediately pressed, launched attack to nine Great Sect allied armies. 赵海微微一笑道：“说那么多的费话,攻。”说完赵海手往前一挥,不死生物大军马上就压了上去,对九大宗门的联军展开了攻击。 Is good they is also prepared because of Jiao Hualong early, looked at Zhao Hai to start attack, their also immediately/on horseback met head-on, but their time study was intelligent, they did not have attack, but the full power defense, Zhao Hai this side attack was not very strong, was mainly is cannon give priority to of flintlock. 好在蛟化龙他们也早有准备,一看赵海开始攻击了,他们也马上迎战,不过他们这一次学聪明了,他们并没有攻击,而是全力的防守,赵海这一边的攻击也并不是很强,主要是就是火枪的火炮为主。 But when both sides hit make a move greatly, Jian Wuya also received Jiao Hualong to his Sword Jade Massage, they knew the front already with Zhao Hai exchange hands, therefore their immediately moved several. 而就在双方大打出手的时候,剑无涯也收到了蛟化龙给他的传信玉剑,他们知道前方已经与赵海交上手了,所以他们马上就动了几起。 Several Space Divergent Warlock according to the originally that Black Tiger Group Coordinate, started Space Divergent Warlock , huge Space rift appears in the front of people. Jian Wuya immediately got the person to clash. 几个空间异术士按照原本的那个黑虎帮的坐标,启动了空间异术士,一道巨大的空间裂缝出现在了众人的面前。剑无涯马上就领着人冲了进去。 These goes with Jian Wuya time to the person of Black Tiger Group there fight, and are many. However each one is the elites, has 200 with Jian Wuya Everlasting Stage Expert fully, in adding on about 2000 Transcends Tribulation Stage Expert, fighting strength of this squad, already very formidable. 这一次跟剑无涯去对黑虎帮那里战斗的人并且多。但是个个都是精英,跟着剑无涯的长生期强者足有两百,在加上两千左右的渡劫期强者,这一只小队的战斗力,已经十分强悍了。 Waits for Jian Wuya they puts from Space that sends out itself to arrive in huge cavern, but in this cavern, some cultivator blankly look at they. 等剑无涯他们从空间的那一头穿出来的时候,发出自己已经到了一个巨大的山洞里,而这个山洞里,正有一些修士愣愣的看着他们。 Jian Wuya looks at these cultivator black cultivator clothing/taking, cannot help but laughs said: „Black Tiger Group, I thought how your copes with us time. Kills!” These cultivator also howled to kill toward these black-clothed cultivator. 剑无涯一看那些修士一身的黑色修士服,不由得哈哈大笑道：“黑虎帮,我看你们这一次如何对付我们。杀！”那些修士也吼叫着往那些黑衣修士杀了过去。 At this moment, in entire Space heard grating alarm sound, these Black Tiger cultivator complexion change, turn around walks. Simultaneously Jian Wuya their suddenly felt on this cavern all around wall appears red lines, these red lines turned into each and every one formation instantaneously, then he felt that entire Space becomes the burning hot to be incomparable, meanwhile follows the tremendous pressure. 就在这时,整个空间里传来了一阵刺耳的警报声,那些黑虎修士脸色一变,转身就走。同时剑无涯他们突然感觉这个山洞四周的墙上出现了一条条的红线,这些红线瞬间就变成了一个个的法阵,接着他就感觉整个空间变得炙热无比,同时还伴随着巨大的压力。 Jian Wuya stares, his look at all around Space, immediately knows that this was the Black Tiger Group defense system started, his immediately/on horseback „broke the wall to person said:, quickly!” 剑无涯一愣,他看着四周的空间,马上就知道这是黑虎帮的防御系统启动了,他马上对身边的人道：“打破墙壁,快！” These cultivator one hear of Jian Wuya said, immediately revealed Law Idol, hits toward the wall on. When their Qi Strength project 那些修士一听剑无涯这么说,马上就亮出了法相,往墙壁上打去。但是当他们的气劲打到墙壁上的时候,墙壁上马上就冒出了阵阵的红光,挡住了他们的攻击,这么多人的攻击,竟然一时之间拿那些墙壁没有办法。 At this moment, the sound of suddenly broken wind transmits, Jian Wuya they turn the head to look, discover large quantities of Black Tiger Group cultivator had caught up toward here, these people revealed oneself Law Idol, came up two words they not to disperse attack to Jian Wuya. 就在这时,突然一阵破风之声传来,剑无涯他们转头一看,发现大批的黑虎帮修士已经往这里赶了过来,这些人都亮出了自己的法相,上来二话不就对剑无涯他们散开了攻击。 Jian Wuya their immediately turn around copes with these black-clothed cultivator. However at this moment, suddenly several fire snake of suddenly from the wall, that several fire snake meets nine Great Sect cultivator, immediately is one volume, directly that cultivator volume in inside. That cultivator wants to work loose, actually cannot work loose. Before long by the person pitiful yell of cling, was fired pile of ashes unexpectedly. 剑无涯他们马上就转身对付那些黑衣修士。但是就在这时,突然从墙壁上突然几条火蛇,那几条火蛇一遇到九大宗门的修士,马上就是一卷,直接就把那个修士卷在了里面。那个修士想要挣脱,却没能挣脱出来。不一会被卷住的人竟然一声的惨叫,被烧成了一堆灰。 Jian Wuya saw this situation stares, he has not thought of Law Idol on this wall also to be able unexpectedly initiative attack, doesn't the Black Tiger Group person fear burning by it fire? 剑无涯一看到这种情况就是一愣,他没有想到这墙上的法相竟然还能主动的攻击,难道黑虎帮的人就不怕被之火给烧到吗？ Quick his discover, the Black Tiger Group person had not really feared that by this fire burning, because of Black Tiger Group these people, the body brought Identifier status thing, these fires actually do not have a point use to them. 很快他就发现了,黑虎帮的人还真的不怕被这火给烧到,因为黑虎帮的那些人,身上都带了识别身份的东西,那些火竟然对他们没有一点的用处。 Moreover the fire element strengths in these formation are getting stronger and stronger, even if now Everlasting Stage Expert does not dare by that fire to the cling, to look at this situation, Jian Wuya cannot help but at heart startled, he has not thought of Black Tiger Group here defense capability unexpectedly such. 而且那些法阵之中的火元素力量已经越来越强了,现在就算是长生期强者都不敢被那火给卷住了,一看这种情况,剑无涯不由得心里了惊,他没有想到黑虎帮这里的防御能力竟然会如此之强。 Jian Wuya intermittent complaining of hardship, he knows at heart oneself action feared must be defeated, Black Tiger Group here is impossible Everlasting Stage Expert does not have, now Black Tiger Group Everlasting Stage Expert does not have make a move, they have lost seriously, if Black Tiger Group Everlasting Stage Expert make a move, that trouble. 剑无涯心里一阵阵的叫苦,他知道自己的这一次行动怕是要失败了,黑虎帮这里不可能一个长生期强者都没有,现在黑虎帮的长生期强者还没有出手,他们就已经损失惨重了,如果黑虎帮的长生期强者出手的话,那就更加的麻烦了。 Thinks of here, Jian Wuya immediately said: „Opens Space rift, draws back.” With his sound, that several by other Space Divergent Warlock of cultivator protection, immediately have been opened Space rift, Jian Wuya led the remaining people to enter in Space. 一想到这里,剑无涯马上道:“打开空间裂缝,退。”随着他的声音,那几个一直被其它修士保护的空间异术士,马上就打开了空间裂缝,剑无涯带着剩下的人进入到了空间里。 When Jian Wuya they come back, discover with 2000 Transcends Tribulation Stage Expert that they go, come back, only then 1500 people, moreover died ten Everlasting Stage Expert. 等剑无涯他们回来的时候,发现跟他们去的两千个渡劫期强者,回来的只有一千五百人了,而且还死了十位长生期强者。 Such loss is nothing less than heavy, Jian Wuya complexion is somewhat ugly, Abbot Numu arrives at the Jian Wuya side, said solemnly: „ That several Space Divergent Warlock because of connection use Space Divergent Technique, had been injured by Strength of Space backlash, in a short time cannot use Strength of Space. 这样的损失不可谓不重,剑无涯的脸色有些难看,怒目方丈走到剑无涯的身边,沉声道:“那几个空间异术士因为连系的使用空间异术,已经被空间之力反噬受伤了,短时间内不能在使用空间之力了。 Jian Wuya smiled bitterly said: „I have never thought that defense strength in this Black Tiger Group unexpectedly so astonishing, it seems like our these loses Alright time, sends the letter/believes to the old flood dragon and old Meng, lets their retreat, in not retreat, the person who they died are too many.” 剑无涯苦笑了一下道：“真没有想到,这黑虎帮里的防御力竟然如此的惊人,看来我们这一次又失算了,给老蛟和老孟去信,让他们退兵吧,在不退兵,他们死的人就太多了。” Abbot Numu sighed, put out Sword Jade Massage sends the letter/believes to Jiao Hualong and Meng Wudi, the although Abbot Numu temperament was irritable, but met Black Tiger Group such existence, gave to make that him the temperament did not have. 怒目方丈叹了口气,拿出了传信玉剑给蛟化龙和孟无敌去信,虽然怒目方丈的脾气火爆,但是遇到黑虎帮这样的存在,也把他给弄得一点儿脾气都没有了。 But Jian Wuya their these movements during the surveillance of Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai looked that Jian Wuya they eat slightly to owe do not retreat, cannot help but somewhat felt a pity, he also wants to let his Everlasting Stage Undead Creature make a move, kept some people in Black Tiger Group there. Let Jian Wuya they feel the meat pain. 而剑无涯他们这些动作都在赵海的监视之中,赵海一看剑无涯他们吃了点小亏不退走了,不由得有些感到可惜,他还想让他那些长生期的不死生物出手,多留一些人在黑虎帮那里呢。让剑无涯他们更感到肉痛。 However now Jian Wuya they come back. He has not thought must chase down, as for Jiao Hualong they, Zhao Hai does not want to kill too many people, having him might as well was about a point solving at that time the things of northern four states. 不过现在剑无涯他们回来了。他也没有想过要追杀,至于蛟化龙他们,赵海也不想杀太多的人了,有那个时候他还不如快一点把北四州的事情给解决掉呢。 Thinks of here, Zhao Hai wields, these Undead Creature stopped attack, Zhao Hai stood on Alien, arrived at Undead Creature army front, opposite of the look at nine Great Sect allied armies, said solemnly: „Jiao Hualong. Meng Wudi, comes out to see me.” 一想到这里,赵海手一挥,那些不死生物都停止了攻击,赵海站在异形上,走到了不死生物大军的前面,看着对面的九大宗门联军,沉声道:“蛟化龙。孟无敌,出来见我。” Jiao Hualong and Meng Wudi have not drawn back far, one hear of Zhao Hai said, two people immediately flew. Their puzzled look at Zhao Hai, why among don’t know Zhao Hai suddenly do not hit. 蛟化龙和孟无敌并没有退多远,一听赵海这么说,两人马上就飞了出来。他们不解的看着赵海,不知道赵海为什么突然之间不打了。 Zhao Hai look at two people said: „you two are listening, I know why you two run up to here to come, you want to win time to Jian Wuya, making him go to my Black Tiger Group encampment there to disturb, speaks the truth with you, I have long known this point, now Jian Wuya they had been hit by my Black Tiger Group, you best retreat, I do not want to kill too many people. Did not want to compel me.” 赵海看着两人道：“你们两个听着,我知道你们两个为什么跑到这里来,你们不过就是想给剑无涯争取一点时间,让他去我黑虎帮的老营那里捣乱罢了,跟你们说实话吧,我早就知道这一点,现在剑无涯他们已经被我黑虎帮打回去了,你们最好退走,我不想杀太多的人。不要在逼我了。” Jiao Hualong and Meng Wudi one hear of Zhao Hai said, stares, then two people complexion cannot help but changes, they have not thought that Zhao Hai has long known these. 蛟化龙和孟无敌一听赵海这么说,都是一愣,接着两人脸色不由得一变,他们没有想到赵海早就知道这些。 However Meng Wudi quick „is short on coldly snorted said: in there is scary, is Zhao Hai, Zhang Feng informs your you to know? Also must say omniscient seems same.” 不过孟无敌很快就冷哼道：“少在那里唬人,赵海,是不是张凤通知你你才知道的？还非得说得好像自己无所不知一样。” Zhao Hai look at Meng Wudi, sneers said: „person not to need to test me, this Jian Wuya they attack Black Tiger Group, has not met any Everlasting Stage Undead Creature, Black Tiger Group Everlasting Stage Expert does not have make a move. You go back to ask Jian Wuya, my truth you told that my person although in here, but Black Tiger Group there has my Everlasting Stage Undead Creature all the year round guarding, but I to let the Black Tiger Group person am familiar with the defense of base. Therefore has not let these Everlasting Stage Undead Creature make a move, if you have not believed. Good, I can tell you, now I have sent several Everlasting Stage Undead Creature to go that several Space Divergent Warlock that you look for massacring, after this point you go back, can be confirmed that now immediately/on horseback rolls to me, otherwise do not blame me for being rude.” 赵海看着孟无敌,冷笑道：“人不用试探我,这一次剑无涯他们进攻黑虎帮,没有遇到任何一个的长生期不死生物,黑虎帮的长生期强者也没有出手。你回去可以问问剑无涯,我实话跟你们说吧,我人虽然在这里,但是黑虎帮那里却是有我长生期不死生物长年的驻守,只不过我是为了让黑虎帮的人熟悉一下基地的防御。所以没有让那些长生期的不死生物出手罢了,如果你们还不相信。那好,我可以告诉你,现在我已经派了几个长生期的不死生物去把你们找来的那几个空间异术士给杀掉了,这一点你们回去之后就可以得到证实,现在马上给我滚,不然的话不要怪我不客气。” Meng Wudi and Jiao Hualong one hear of Zhao Hai said, complexion becomes pale one piece, half because of the air/Qi, the other half are actually because frightens, they believe that Zhao Hai disdains in deceives at this matter their, if Zhao Hai really did, he was also not Zhao Hai. 孟无敌和蛟化龙一听赵海这么说,脸色都变得铁青一片,一半是因为气的,另一半却是因为吓的,他们相信赵海是不屑于在这种事情上骗他们的,如果赵海真的那么做了,那他也就不是赵海了。 Meng Wudi and Jiao Hualong although wants to spell with Zhao Hai, but their also very clear, if they really do, that nine Great Sect ended, although said that nine Great Sect there also leave leeway some Elite, however most cultivator were brought by them, if loses seriously extremely in here, that nine Great Sect were really thorough being finished. 孟无敌和蛟化龙虽然很想跟赵海拼了,但是他们也十分的清楚,如果他们真的那么做的话,那九大宗门就完了,虽然说九大宗门那里还留有一些精锐,但是大部分的修士都被他们带了出来,如果在这里损失太过于惨重的话,那九大宗门就真的是彻底的完蛋了。 Meng Wudi and Jiao Hualong looked at one mutually, clenches teeth, said solemnly: "Withdraw!" said that Great Magical Artifact withdraws, nine Great Sect allied armies also start to withdraw slowly, the direct Jade Belt River opposite shore withdraws. 孟无敌和蛟化龙互望了一眼,一咬牙,沉声道:“撤！”说完**器后撤,九大宗门的联军也开始缓缓后撤,直接玉带河对岸撤去。 Nine Great Sect allied armies that look at goes far away, Zhao Hai has not pursued, but turned the head to look at Northern Saint Province, muttered said: „opportunity to suffice to you many, you did not understand to treasure, on do not blame me.” Said that Zhao Hai waves, Undead Creature army expunges toward Northern Saint Province. 看着远去的九大宗门联军,赵海并没有追击,而是转头看了一眼北圣州,喃喃道：“机会已经给你们够多了,你们不懂得珍惜,就不要怪我了。”说完赵海挥了挥手,不死生物大军往北圣州里开去。 Zhao Hai Undead Creature army moves, his immediately Kuangge sent the letter/believes to Li, told Li Kuangge, he attacked from south to north, making Li Kuangge attack from north to south, two people converging attack, must still Northern Saint Province within the shortest time, is advancing toward another two states. 赵海的不死生物大军一动,他马上就给李狂歌去了信,告诉李狂歌,他从南往北攻,让李狂歌从北往南攻,两人夹击,一定要在最短的时间之内平定北圣州,然后在往另两州开进。 The time that Zhao Hai and Meng Wudi they fight is not very long, both sides fight altogether also for several hours, but these hours , before Li Kuangge their army have arrived at another small Sect General Hall, Li Kuangge also deferred to before the Zhao Hai method, first sends for that small lot follower final Communication Disc, if they do not surrender in offensive attack. 赵海和孟无敌他们交手的时间并不是很长,双方大战一共也不过才几个小时罢了,而这几个小时的时间里,李狂歌他们的大军已经开到了另一个小宗门的总堂前了,李狂歌也按照之前赵海的方法,先派人去那个小宗门下最后的通碟,如果他们不投降的话在进攻攻击。 However what lets some Li Kuangge accidental/surprised is, that small Sect surrendered unexpectedly, they comply with unconditional join to join miles, becomes Freedom Alliance in Northern Saint Province here branch Hall. 不过让李狂歌有些意外的是,那个小宗门竟然投降了,他们答应无条件的加入,成为自由联盟在北圣州这里的一个分堂。 Such relaxed subdued small Sect, to lets some Li Kuangge accidental/surprised, but he complied with the request of this small Sect, let his join to Freedom Alliance, then army continued to set out, at this time, he received Zhao Hai Sword Jade Massage, told him to speed up speed. 这么轻松的就收服了一个小宗门,到是让李狂歌有些意外,不过他还是答应了这个小宗门的请求,让他加入到了自由联盟里,接着大军继续开拔,就在这个时候,他收到了赵海的传信玉剑,告诉他在加快速度了。 But at this time Northern Saint Province these Sect also know that Zhao Hai repelled the things of nine Great Sect allied armies, this information spread, Western Demon Province and Eastern Saint Province allied armies diverged instantaneously, simultaneously some small Sect in two state started to have the contact with Freedom Alliance. 而这个时候北圣州的那些宗门也知道赵海打退了九大宗门联军的事情,这个消息一传开来了,西鬼州和东圣州的联军瞬间散去,同时两州中的一些小宗门开始跟自由联盟取得了联系。 But the Northern Saint Province here situation is some is not quite same, the here person has formed the each and every one small alliance, now lets their join to join miles, some small alliances will want to put forward some conditions, but they have not actually thought that the condition that they put forward, Zhao Hai all does not accept, moreover all Sect that set requirement, directly by Zhao Hai destroying completely, including did not have to opportunity that they reformed. 而北圣州这里的情况却是有些不太一样,这里的人本身就已经组成了一个个的小联盟,现在让他们加入,有一些小联盟就会想要提一些条件,但是他们却没有想到,他们提出来的条件,赵海全不接受,而且所有提出要求的门派,直接就被赵海给灭掉了,连给他们改过的机会都没有。 Entire Northern Saint Province piece of carnage, Northern Saint Province these Sect only know at once fiercely, remaining some Sect in do not dare to put forward any condition, all initiative contacts with Zhao Hai army. 一时之间整个北圣州一片的腥风血雨,北圣州的那些宗门这才知道厉害,剩下的一些宗门在也不敢提任何的条件了,全都主动的与赵海的大军进行联系。 Zhao Hai after destroying completely more than ten Sect, dares to negotiate the terms in also no one to him, Zhao Hai has not handled the matter certainly, therefore wants join to Freedom Alliance Sect, so long as is unconditionally join, he accepts completely, but Zhao Hai actually reached an agreement, after these join to Freedom Alliance, later when the Sect level division, belongs to most low grade. 赵海在灭掉了十几个宗门之后,就在也没有人敢跟他讲条件了,赵海也没有把事情做绝,所以想要加入到自由联盟的宗门,只要是无条件加入的,他就全部接受,不过赵海却是说好了,这些加入到自由联盟之后,以后在宗门等级划分的时候,却是属于最低等了。 These Sect although are somewhat discontented with Zhao Hai the approach, does not have the means that if they in dare to say anything, Zhao Hai feared that was gives to exterminate an entire family them directly, now Northern Saint Province these cultivator fear Zhao Hai, in their opinion, Zhao Hai is ruthless killer, often extinguished the person whole families. 那些宗门虽然对赵海的这种做法有些不满,却也没有办法,他们要是在敢说什么,赵海怕是直接就把他们给灭门了,现在北圣州的这些修士可是怕了赵海了,在他们看来,赵海就是一个杀人魔王,动不动就灭人满门。 But Freedom Alliance must to all join Freedom Alliance the things of Sect classification, did not have join knowing to the Freedom Alliance person by other, heard Sect that only then say, will not depend on to arrive at most bottom, these did not have join Freedom Alliance Sect somewhat unable to sit still, their immediately requests join to Freedom Alliance, but Freedom Alliance although agreed their join requested, but has not told them, they can be evaluated several and other Sect, this by these Sect people some uneasy. 而自由联盟要给所有加入自由联盟的宗门分等的事情,也被其它还没有加入到自由联盟的人给知道了,一听说只有自己提出来的宗门,才不会被凭到最底等去,那些还没有加入自由联盟的宗门有些坐不住了,他们马上就要求加入到自由联盟,不过自由联盟虽然同意了他们的加入请求,但是却没有告诉他们,他们可以被评为第几等的宗门,这让那些宗门的人都有些忐忑不安。 Because of the Zhao Hai ruthless spicy method, Northern Divergent Province quick was stilled, Northern Divergent Province these small Sect cannot be controlling the instruction of Northern Saint Academy now, everyone has not thought that Zhao Hai so ruthless spicy, does not give you any opportunity, comes up to kill, exterminates an entire family directly, such method anybody will fear. 因为赵海的狠辣手段,北异州被很快就平定了下来,北异州的那些小宗门现在在也管不了北圣书院的吩咐了,所有人都没有想到赵海会如此的狠辣,不给你任何的机会,上来就杀,直接就灭门,这样的手段任何人都会怕。 But southern state nearest/recent to compares calm, nine Great Sect allied armies had dismissed, they do not dare to provoke Zhao Hai in a short time, that several Space Divergent Warlock that because they look for were sent Everlasting Stage Undead Creature killing by Zhao Hai, in Zhao Hai these words that adding on Jiao Hualong and Meng Wudi has, making Jian Wuya their thorough honest, why they not clear Zhao Hai will know their all actions now, because is not clear, therefore they will be scared, before has not known why Zhao Hai knows their all actions, they will be will not begin to Freedom Alliance.! ~! 而南方州最近到是比较平静,九大宗门的联军已经解散了,他们短时间内可是不敢在去招惹赵海了,因为他们找来的那几个空间异术士都被赵海派长生期的不死生物给杀了,在加上蛟化龙和孟无敌带回来的赵海的那些话,让剑无涯他们彻底的老实了下来,他们现在不清楚赵海为什么会知道他们所有的行动,但正是因为不清楚,所以他们才会感到害怕,在没有知道赵海为什么知道他们所有的行动之前,他们是不会在对自由联盟动手了。！~！ \ {
