Chapter 367, Hong Zhan
Seeing that Li Xiao and the others ended the battle so quickly, the surrounding audience was obviously not enjoyable. The smart people all saw the trickiness in it, and they all left in disappointment. As they left, for a while, the news that the newcomers trained by Li Xiao had defeated the Gu Xi team in the challenge spread. The peculiarities of his formation quickly aroused the interest of others.
When Li Xiao returned to his school yard, he received a transmission note, opened it and saw that it was sent by Kun Demon General. The content is to call him over. Li Xiao thought about it, did not hesitate, and said a few words to his subordinates who had just won and were still on the rise, and went straight to Kunfu.
In the garden where he came last time, Li Xiao saw the Kun Demon General who was waiting for him. After the salute, the Kun Demon General pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for Li Xiao to sit down, and then said, "I have already found out what you told me. This attendance is indeed a ghost of Yuan Cheng. After the last competition, he was punished for a year of thinking at home. I didn't expect him to be able to reach out to the army at home. This time, I demoted the commander who gave him the order. I've already banned the other commanders. So for the time being, you can rest assured, as long as you don't go out of the city alone, he can't do anything about you. ”
Li Xiao clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for your care." The adults called me to do more than just tell me about this, right?"
Kun Demon General nodded and said, "It's true that there are other things to find you, just now I heard that the team you trained had a battle with Gu Xi's team, and in the end you won, but is there such a thing?"
Li Xiao didn't expect the other party to be so well-informed, so he nodded and replied, "It's just a trick." ”
Kun Demon frowned, and said with a serious face: "What is a trick, there is no trick when facing the enemy, victory is victory, defeat is defeat." The battlefield is not a ring, you can do anything. As long as you win, you are the winner. ”
"Adults are taught. I remembered it in the next. ”
General Kun nodded and continued, "I heard that the battle formation you taught you has been modified, tell me about it, tell me why you want to modify it? The battle formation that has been developed for so many years is perfect, how did you modify it. ”
"That's a long story. As he spoke, Li Xiao said that he felt that something was wrong with the formation, to personally test it, to find problems, and then how to modify the formation.
"According to what you say, this formation you modified is indeed stronger than the original formation. Thanks to you this time, I feel more and more that it was a wise choice to pull you into our ranks. ”
"My lord has won the prize, and the formation I modified looks really good, but it is also laughing for a long time, and it will have a unique effect when there is no one to command. If it is a large army fighting, or if there is a command, the original battle formation is much stronger. After all, many times, in the ingenious formation, it will also be forcibly broken by powerful forces. ”
"Indeed, in the face of absolute power, no matter how exquisite the formation is, it is useless. But what do you mean by having someone in command and not being in command, and why can't the legion fight be as good as the original formation?"
"The difference between someone commanding and not commanding is that if Gu Xi personally commanded their team's battle formation this time, then I would lose this time. Because the original battle formation is actually to concentrate the power of all people together, if it is controlled by one person, the power of the entire formation can be maximized. If it is controlled by ten people, even if the cooperation is tacit, it will definitely not be as strong as one person. Moreover, this battle formation also pays great attention to the combat skills and experience of the commander. My formation, on the other hand, cannot be commanded by one person. It is very troublesome to control by one person, and it must be well coordinated by the other ten people. That's why I said it was a trick. After all, this kind of competition is just a competition between the people below, and there is no need to lead the team. ”
As for the big battle at the clan level, the disadvantages are even more obvious. At that time, the battle was too chaotic, and the modified formation was okay for a single target. As soon as there are many goals, the shortcomings of the dispersion of forces are manifested. Unless it is self-preservation, it is easy to be distracted and disrupted. In the end, the formation within the formation could not be put together at all. Therefore, the modification of this formation is basically specific to this kind of competitive nature, or small-scale battles without command. ’
Hearing Li Xiao say this, Kun Demon General scolded with a smile: "You kid, after thinking about it for so long, the formation you came up with is just to get the position of the commander as soon as possible, so that you can go to the island of chaos, right? But to become a commander, you must be strong yourself, and you must be able to beat at least ten centurions before you can become a commander." Don't think that being so opportunistic will help you become a thousand-commander quickly. Okay, you go down. ”
Jiang Kun Demon General thought so, and Li Xiao felt relieved. In fact, this formation was not as useless as Li Xiao said, but when the Kun Demon General realized this, it was already a long time later. At that time, a large number of powerful Heavenly Demons had already died at the hands of a group of demon cultivators who were two realms lower than themselves.
Li Xiao, who was about to leave, suddenly remembered something. Since Yuan Cheng can attack himself, then the old Hong who was saved by himself is probably also very lucky. If this is really the case, then it is not in vain to save him yourself.
However, he still inquired about the Kun Demon General with the mentality of giving it a try, and the Kun Demon General told him that the other party was still in the city, and he lived not far from the Kun Mansion. Here, Yuan Chengcheng didn't dare to do anything to him. Hearing the news, Li Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief. After bidding farewell to the Kun Demon General, he found a small courtyard directly according to what he said.
With a sweep of his senses, he soon found the two people in the courtyard. In addition to the old man, there was also a little girl of four or five years old, with a long pigtail on her head, and a very cute little face. At this time, the old man was teaching the little girl some basic knowledge of cultivation. Because Li Xiao's divine sense was relatively secretive, he did not alarm the two inside.
Stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, the voice inside paused, and then soon the old man's excited voice came: "It turned out that Li Daoyou was here, please come in, please come in." He said that the door had opened. The old man had already brought the little girl to the door to greet him.
Seeing Li Xiao at the door, Hong Lao was very excited, and said to the little girl beside him: "Lily, call Engong quickly." It is the help of this benevolent father that I can keep you. Thank you very much. ”
The little girl looked at Li Xiao curiously from the beginning. Now when he heard the old man say this, he immediately bowed to Li Xiao very obediently, and said at the same time: "Lily, thank you for saving your life." ”
Li Xiao touched the little girl's head with a smile and said, "Lily is cute, don't call me Engong, call me big brother." I just can't look past it. ”
With that, Hong Lao Li Xiao welcomed him in. The small courtyard was very basic, with nothing superfluous except a table and two chairs. Li Xiao and Hong Lao sat on the chairs respectively, and Lily sat on Hong Lao's body.
After sitting down, Hong Lao said happily: "Thank you Li Daoyou for your help, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would have died on the spot." I have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank Li Daoyou. It's just that the army is heavy, and you can't come and go at will, and I can't take little Lily with me, leaving her alone at home, and I don't feel at ease. So it has been delayed until now, but I didn't expect Li Daoyou to come over in person, which made me feel sorry. ”
Li Xiao smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I was also cheated by Yuan Cheng once, so I remembered to take a look." It's just that I didn't expect that the reason why you challenged Yuan Cheng turned out to be for Lily. But I don't know what happened until now, so if it's convenient, tell me about it. ”
Hong Lao nodded and began to tell his story slowly. Hong Lao's real name is Hong Zhan, he joined the army after entering the Jindan period, and after more than ten years of hard work, he finally reached the late Jindan period. And at this time, he also encountered the same thing as other demons, and he couldn't advance again. The shock was several times and finally failed.
At this time, Yuan Cheng also happened to be in the late stage of Jindan, and by chance, he took a fancy to Hong Zhan, and then asked him to make his own sacrifice. At that time, Hong Zhan was eager to break through, and finally agreed, so he withdrew from the army. It didn't take long for him to break through and become a Yuanying monk.
Lily's father's name is Dong Idiot, who is also from the army, and he is also a good brother who Hong Zhan grew up with. However, later for some reasons, Lily's father inadvertently offended Yuan Cheng.
With Yuan Cheng's character, he naturally would not let him go easily, first using some means to drive Lily's father out of the army, and then sending people to provoke him, forcing him to finally stand up and challenge the other party in order to protect his family. In the end, he died in the ring.
It happened to be that time when Hong Zhan was sent out on a mission, and by the time he came back, it was already late. Lily's mother was also overly sad, and after handing Lily over to Yuan Cheng, she passed away. At this time, what made Hong Zhan even more unbearable was that Yuan Cheng forbade Hong Zhan to adopt Lily. It is precisely because of this that Hong Zhan broke out completely and chose to challenge Yuan Cheng. Even though he knew there was a good chance of failure, he couldn't just watch little Lily end up on the streets. And when Li Xiao arrived, it was this challenge that he saw.
Listening to Hong Zhan's words, Li Xiao's brows furrowed tightly, and at the same time said: "Since Yuan Cheng is such a villain, I don't think it's a way for you to stay here, sooner or later something will happen." If you don't mind, I recommend you to go to a safe place. ”
