Chapter 179 - Zhang Yan withdraws from the army
"Not bad, not bad, really powerful!" In the face of Long Xiangtian's fierce flame bombardment, Zhang Yan smiled instead of anger.
Zhang Yan, as a very strong Jindan real person, did not cause damage due to Long Xiangtian's indiscriminate bombardment, and after learning about Long Xiangtian's spell, Zhang Yan also began his spell attack.
"Taiping Dao Technique - Water of the Five Elements, break it for me!"
Zhang Yan Void constructed a formation vein, and then took a rune paper and punched it in, and saw a swift torrent rushing out of the rune paper, its power was much stronger than the fire truck's water spray gun, and instantly dispersed and extinguished Long Xiangtian's flames.
Seeing the torrent coming, Long Xiangtian expected that even if he was not injured by the torrent, he would look embarrassed, so he hurriedly touched the ground with both hands, ran the true yuan, mobilized the earth yuan force, and erected a thick and high earth city wall in front of him, blocking the impact of Zhang Yan's torrent.
Seeing this, Zhang Yan punched in another piece of rune paper and said: "The water of the five spirits - water gun rush!"
Because his vision was also blocked by the earthen city wall, Long Xiangtian was using his divine sense to observe Zhang Yan's every move, and suddenly saw a thick and long ray from Zhang Yan across the earthen city wall attacking him, Long Xiangtian hurriedly dodged to the side, only to see a water column only the size of a bottle cap penetrated the earthen city wall that Long Xiangtian had hidden before like an arrow, Long Xiangtian was surprised, he didn't expect this high-strength compressed water column to have such a great power, and he easily pierced the earthen city wall he was erecting, thinking that he was still there just now, and he didn't know if he could stop itγ
Next, Zhang Yan used his divine sense to lock on to Long Xiangtian, and constantly attacked Long Xiangtian with a compressed water column, making the earth city wall full of holes Long Xiangtian touched the ground with both hands, and erected an earth city wall on top of the earth city wall, but the protective power of the double wall was still ruthlessly pierced by the water column.
Long Xiangtian touched the ground with both hands again, and Zhang Yan, who was probing Long Xiangtian with divine sense, couldn't help but laugh in his heart, even if Long Xiangtian set up more earthen city walls, he was doing useless work, but unexpectedly, two stone hands suddenly stretched out under the ground where he was standing, and firmly grasped Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan didn't expect Long Xiangtian to change his moves, and was surprised, secretly thinking that there would be a follow-up move, so he struggled to break free from the shackles of the stone hand, and hurriedly volleyed up in the air, and sure enough, the ground suddenly burst out at this time Countless ground thorns made of solid soil suddenly burst out, four or five feet above the ground, almost hitting Zhang Yan, and was blocked by Zhang Yan's protective bodyγ
"Fire spell flame attack, earth city wall and ground thorn of earth spell, stone hand of metal spell, interesting, I can't imagine that you can use the power of the three elements without relying on rune paper!" Zhang Yan said in surprise.
Long Xiangtian smiled: "Is it interesting?
I saw Long Xiangtian cast the spell again, gathered the wind force around his body, forming a wind pillar that was constantly rotating at high speed, with the help of the wind, Long Xiangtian ran the power of rotation, and hit Zhang Yan in the air, and in the process again, the wind pillar compressed and tightened into a wind dragon, Long Xiangtian was in the belly of this wind dragon, and the wind dragon moved in the air irregularly, constantly approaching Zhang Yan, which was the Nine Turns Dragon Tengjue!
"Wind is a spell!" Zhang Yan said in surprise.
The wind dragon approached, Zhang Yan had to put away his mind and concentrate on casting spells to deal with it, this time, Zhang Yan did not use the rune paper to cast the spell, but directly hit it with both palms, gathering wind energy on both hands, forming two whirlwinds that kept telling the rotation, the whirlwind extended outward from both hands, getting bigger and bigger, and the wind energy was getting stronger and stronger, so that Zhang Yan could not easily control it, but still struggled to hit the two whirlwinds towards the wind dragon that was about to attack.
However, Zhang Yan's two whirlwinds hit the wind dragon, but they were bounced away by the wind dragon's wind rotation, no matter how hard Zhang Yan tried, he couldn't effectively impact the wind dragon, and the wind dragon inexorably impacted Zhang Yan under the two whirlwinds, so that Zhang Yan had to give up casting spells and quickly dodge. But it was too late to dodge at this time, Zhang Yan expected to be wrong, but he didn't expect that this wind dragon was not a one-time spell, and after not attacking Zhang Yan, the wind dragon still existed, and its body continued to take off, constantly rotating around Zhang Yan, and surrounded Zhang Yan in the middle.
The wind dragon's rotating energy formed a closed wind circle around Zhang Yan, firmly surrounding Zhang Yan and making it impossible to escape.
Zhang Yan, who was in the center of the tuyere, was pulled by the wind in all directions, seeing that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, Zhang Yan secretly said that it was not good, in order to strengthen the protection ability, Zhang Yan retracted the protective body qi back to an inch away from his body, and tightly protected himself from being torn apart by the gale.
"One turn!"
Long Xiangtian increased his power, the wind dragon accelerated and revolved around Zhang Yan, the wind became more violent, and in a turn, Zhang Yan couldn't stand it, feeling as if he was about to be torn apart, his body couldn't move at all, he could only defend passively, let alone cast spells.
Zhang Yan was already frightened at this time, he didn't expect Long Xiangtian to be so powerful, he accidentally immediately put himself in a dangerous situation, wanted to get out of the predicament, but couldn't move, the true yuan acted on the body protection qi, was constantly exhausted, thinking that once his body protection was broken, he would have to bear the tear of the hurricane in the flesh, in this closed environment, once the body was destroyed, the Jindan Yuan Shen estimated that he could not escape, Zhang Yan felt that he was so close to death for the first time, so that he was really scared, and had to say to Long Xiangtian to say goodbye: "Uncle Shi appointed!"
Long Xiangtian was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: How could he become Zhang Yan's uncle? It stands to reason that if Zhang Yan's master is Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Jiao's master is Nanhua Xianweng, then he should be Zhang Jiao's senior brother, because Nanhua could not have accepted Zhang Jiao as a disciple before him, but why did Zhang Yan call himself his uncle instead of his uncle? Long Xiangtian was very puzzled.
Long Xiangtian didn't interrupt the spell casting, but the speed also slowed down, and Long Xiangtian asked Zhang Yan, "Why do you call me uncle?"
Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "Not long ago, I asked Master to summon and ask Uncle about your identity, and Master told me. β
Long Xiangtian asked again: "Then is your master's name Zhang Jiao? β
"Master's honorific name is indeed Zhang Jiao, but Master Tai ...... Master only said that it was Zhonghuang Taiyi. Zhang Jiao replied.
Long Xiangtian secretly thought: Zhonghuang Taiyi, what kind of immortal is this, why is it not Master Nanhua? But Zhang Jiao asked his disciples to call me uncle, then I will be his junior brother, could it be that Zhang Jiao's master is not Master Nanhua but Master Nanhua's senior brother? But I have never heard of Master Nanhua having any senior brothers! What the hell is going on?
Unable to understand, Long Xiangtian asked Zhang Yandao: "Since your master and I are both immortal disciples, why don't you uphold justice, but instead do this thing that disturbs the world?"
Zhang Yan said: "We are indeed supporting justice, overthrowing the corrupt immortals, and building a new future for the immortals of the world! I know, maybe some of my senior brothers and sisters are more extreme and have done some things to harm the immortals in the city, but our ideas are still good, for the sake of the immortals in the world, we are like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the end of the immortal Qin Dynasty to launch this uprising, and there is no way, and the immortals all over the world gather to respond, this is the Great Han Immortal League slandering us as thieves, why doesn't Uncle Shi understand?"
Listening to Zhang Yan's words, Long Xiangtian was silent, thinking in his heart about who was right and who was wrong in the Yellow Turban Uprising and the conquest of the Yellow Turban.
At this time, Zhang Yan said: "Please let my uncle let me go!"
This made Long Xiangtian fall into a tangle, and couldn't help but think: For this Zhang Yan, whether to let it go or not? If you let him go, Yuan Shao will not be able to make a difference, but if you don't let him go, kill him, then it will offend Zhang Jiao, if Zhang Jiao is a disciple of Master Nanhua, then he will fight with him, this is undoubtedly a tragic result, and it will also make Master Nanhua feel cold, this is not the result that Long Xiangtian wants to see.
Long Xiangtian asked Zhang Yandao: "If I let you go, you will still oppose us, the next time we meet, will you still be like this?"
Zhang Yan said: "Uncle don't worry, I won't embarrass you, Uncle Shi, Master has instructed me to retire after I have crossed paths with Uncle Shi, so that Uncle Shi you can go to our base camp in Julu, because Master is looking forward to meeting you!"
After thinking about it, Long Xiangtian finally decided to release Zhang Yan, so he put away the exercises and released Zhang Yan.
After being saved, Zhang Yan gave Long Xiangtian a fist salute, then quit the battle and returned to the Yellow Turban camp, and Long Xiangtian also returned to the Yuan Jun camp.
Liu Bei, who was watching the battle, was very puzzled by Long Xiangtian's sudden withdrawal, so as soon as Long Xiangtian came over, he came and asked: "Xiangtian, just now you obviously had a big advantage, and you were about to take down Zhang Yan, but why did you suddenly stop it?"
Long Xiangtian had no choice but to reply: "Oh, I was about to run out of true yuan at that time, so I had to call it a day. β
After listening to Long Xiangtian's explanation, Liu Bei was still full of doubts, because he knew that Long Xiangtian's true yuan reserves were far beyond ordinary people, why was the true yuan suddenly about to be exhausted?
But the matter is a foregone conclusion, Liu Bei has no way to explore, so he has to leave it like this, and back to Yuan Shao's big account, Yuan Shao did not punish Long Xiangtian for not defeating Zhang Yan, in fact, Yuan Shao said that the military law was only to scare and scare Long Xiangtian, after all, Long Xiangtian and others were jointly recommended by the two major lieutenants to help, where would they offend them like this?
The next day, Zhang Yan really retreated, except for Long Xiangtian, everyone else was surprised when they heard the news, and they didn't understand that Zhang Yan suddenly withdrew when he was in the prime of his army at this time, the generals thought that Zhang Yan's retreat must be deceitful, and Yuan Shao thought that Zhang Yan was afraid to see that they were able to master a lot, so he retreated to avoid it, but some generals suggested that Yuan Shao take advantage of the victory to pursue, but Yuan Shao hesitated, so Yuan Jun was in an embarrassing situation of advancing and not advancing and retreating, so that Zhang Yan's army could calmly retreat to Montenegro.
Bo Cai, Zhang Mancheng, Bu Ji, Guan Hai, Cheng Yuanzhi, Deng Mao and other places of the Yellow Turban forces were defeated, Zhang Yan also retreated to Montenegro to defend, now, only the base camp of Julu County, Jizhou has not been breached, there are hundreds of thousands of elite Yellow Turban army gathered, everyone knows that there will be the final decisive battle, and it will also be the most difficult battle.
This announced that the obstacles that hindered the expeditionary army had been removed, so the assistance to Yuan Shao had also come to an end, and it was time to attack the Yellow Turban base camp.
Liu Bei was confused by Zhang Yan's inexplicable retreat, but he didn't think much about it anymore, thinking that the time had come to return to the army, so he asked everyone how to make the next move.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, Long Xiangtian and Zhao Yun all said that they would obey Liu Bei's arrangement, so the six generals left Yuan Shao and went to attack the Yellow Turban base camp to conquer the army.
