Chapter 119: The Siege of Night City

Since Liang Ming's expedition to Yecheng, Night City has become panicked, although it still has an army of 100,000, but there is a lack of commanders who can fight well, they can only stick to the city, waiting for the arrival of the new general appointed by the imperial court.

Although Zhao Yu cleared the strongholds around Dark Night City, it was too late to launch an offensive deployment, and their spies detected that the rookie general Li Hui had rushed to Dark Night City to organize defense.

Dark Night City and Ye City are the most brilliant pearls of the Tianyang Empire, and they have a great reputation on the mainland, since the fall of Night City, the door of the Tianyang Empire has been wide open, and the Danyang Empire has been driving straight in, directly threatening the hinterland of the empire, and now they see the hope of recovering this city.

Zhao Yu is also actively preparing for the recovery plan, and the main force of the war has come to the forward position from the garrison of Yecheng, and has launched a siege of Dark Night City.

Zhao Yu and Jiang Yuheng stood in the camp, observing the heavily guarded Night City, "Although we have achieved a great victory, the garrison of the Night City is still strong, and the Night City is very strong, if we want to break through, we will have to pay huge casualties," Jiang Yuheng said.

"Maybe you have to use the old way, Night City is a long way from the Danyang Empire, their supply lines are extremely long, and the Shadow Moon Valley is very suitable for setting up an ambush, you have been operating there for a long time, maybe it's time for you to play it again," Zhao Yu said.

"It's not impossible for us to return to the Shadow Moon Valley, but you must put pressure on us head-on, otherwise we will face a huge crisis if we are attacked on our backs," Jiang Yuheng said.

"We're going to keep increasing the pressure and pushing them to defend head-on and buy you enough time to get moving," Zhao said.

Jiang Yuheng agreed with his combat ideas, and he took a large number of spirit masters to cross the lofty mountains and mountains and rush to the Shadow Moon Valley again to carry out the mission.

The Shadow Moon Valley is the place where he first carried out his mission, the battle of the year is still vivid, all the supplies of Night City must pass through this canyon, if Night City wants to hold the city, it must obtain a steady stream of food, and Jiang Yuheng They will completely cut off his back road this time.

Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo both followed Senior Brother to this canyon, and they naturally knew that it was here that Senior Brother was besieged by the Shadow Moon King and finally captured.

After Li Hui arrived in Night City, he immediately organized the Imperial soldiers to defend the city, and kept the city closed, he knew that if the Tianyang Empire wanted to attack the city, it would inevitably suffer huge losses, and the Tianyang Empire could not afford such a price at present.

Both sides were nervously confronting each other around Night City, and Zhao Yu had to forcibly launch several sieges in order to hold back their army, and the huge military pressure made Li Hui have to defend his troops strictly, and he did not dare to divide his troops easily.

Jiang Yuheng and Shi Xuan stirred up a lot of trouble in the Shadow Moon Valley, the disciples of the Blood Ring Sect had suffered huge losses in the previous war, and there were no more disciples to support the empire's actions, so how could these secular armies stop the raid of the spirit master led by Jiang Yuheng?

Shi Xuan and the others approached the Shadow Moon Fortress many times to reconnoitre, and once they found their transport team, they immediately launched an interception, their spirit master was flexible, coming and going like the wind, and they immediately retreated after burning the grain and grass, these troops had no way for them at all.

The Dark Night City where Li Hui was stationed suddenly fell into a huge crisis, and there were people in their rear who were drawing salaries, how could they hold on to the city? A huge shadow hung over their heads.

"General, they have burned several of our supplies, and there is nothing they can do about our army without the help of the Spirit Division?"

"Immediately write a letter back to China, and ask His Majesty the Emperor to immediately send a group of spirit masters from other fronts to stop them, without good supplies, Night City will not be able to hold on", Li Hui had to ask for help from the court.

Jiang Yuheng and the others almost moved their whole bodies, Jiang Bingkun naturally knew the importance of Dark Night City, and he immediately ordered a group of spirit masters from other fronts to come and escort supplies, but in this way, there were big loopholes in other fronts immediately.

Lin Zixu, Han Yunyi, and Yin Qianxi, who were on missions in other empires, successfully captured the weakening of the imperial spirit division troops, and they also vigorously launched many attacks, causing huge losses to the enemy army.

Jiang Yuheng's actions effectively restrained the forces of the other fronts of the empire, and with the arrival of spirit masters from other fronts, Shi Xuan and them fell into many bitter battles, and the empire was determined to hold on to Night City, and their actions also encountered huge obstacles.

"Senior brother, we have failed three missions in a row, let's ask the sect for help again, otherwise our actions will not be effective," Zhao Zhuo suggested.

"Now the sect is facing the threat of the Moon Worship Sect, the Blood Ring Sect, and the Sea Shark Palace, once a large number of disciples come to the front line, the sect will inevitably be empty, and when the Moon Worship Sect suddenly launches a surprise attack, we will be in danger, this is a test, as long as we continue to persevere, and the spirit masters of other fronts rush here, then Senior Brother Lin's actions will be much smoother, this is a tug-of-war, we must persevere", Jiang Yuheng thought.

Shi Xuan also felt that it was indeed dangerous to ask for help from the sect at this moment, and the Moon Worship Sect had not taken any other actions since the trip to Beicang, which threatened the people of the Tianhua Sect all the time.

It is necessary for the sect to maintain sufficient strength, and no one dares to guarantee that the Moon Worship Sect will not make a move.

With the arrival of the enemy's garrison and a large number of spirit masters, Jiang Yuheng's every action has become very difficult, the strength of the disciples of the Blood Ring Sect and the Sea Shark Palace is not weak, they have a vast number of soldiers to assist, and Shi Xuan They can only fight alone, it is easy to fall into the encirclement, and they have to give up the task several times for safety.

After Li Hui received the support of the empire, he gradually gained confidence, and the previously low morale also turned back a lot.

In the Tianheng Empire, Lin Zixu and the others noticed that the disciples of the Blood Ring Sect and the Sea Shark Palace had shifted a lot, and the garrison of the empire suddenly weakened a lot, and they launched more attacks more often, and they achieved very good results.

The four major fronts won many victories one after another, which dealt a severe blow to the morale of the empire at once.

"Senior Brother Lin, we must intensify our attacks and buy enough time for Senior Brother and them to besiege Night City, otherwise the spirit masters of our other fronts will go to Shadow Moon Valley, which will cause a huge obstacle to their actions," Dai Mengli said.

"Leave it to me, what the senior brother can do, I Lin Zixu can also do, and then we can make a good deployment, we will definitely help the Tianheng Empire achieve a big victory, and the end of the Danyang Empire is coming", Lin Zixu looked at the woman beside him, with her by his side, he seemed to have a steady stream of motivation, her words and deeds affected him all the time, for her he burst out with unimaginable potential, these days they launched many attacks on the empire like a group of madmen who did not want to die.

The rangers led by Han Yunyi or the disciples of the Divine Sword Valley led by Yin Qianxi, in order to support Jiang Yuheng's actions, they all launched many large-scale raids before and after, trying to hold back the imperial soldiers who went to reinforce the Shadow Moon Valley.

The situation of the war suddenly became extremely anxious, and their team of spirit masters directly affected the direction of the war and became the key to victory or defeat.

In the camp of Shadow Moon Valley, Jiang Yuheng and Shi Xuan were nervously deploying, their actions had a huge impact on the battle situation ahead, and with each more victory, Zhao Yu's attack would be much smoother.

Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo have been fighting for a long time, and they have faced countless crises countless times before they have relied on their tenacious will and wisdom to persist to this day, the current battle is just as difficult as the disciples of the Blood Ring Sect and the Sea Shark Palace are facing each other everywhere, and their actions have been blocked many times.

But they must win this battle at night in the camp, Shi Xuan will never waste this rare cultivation time, every battle, he can learn from it, constantly verify his own path, every step of his way is very solid.

Zhao Zhuo is the same, although his talent is not bad, but there is still a big gap with Shi Xuan and Su Cheng, but his current strength has caught up with Yun Yixuan, closely following Su Cheng and Shi Xuan, when he just entered the Tianhua Sect, he was still outside the top ten, and this kind of progress is also rare for him.

Closer to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, in the past two or three years he has followed Shi Xuan, his strength and realm have improved a lot, and the tacit understanding between their senior brothers has also improved a lot.

Now after continuous training in actual combat, Zhao Zhuo's performance has also been recognized by many elders of Tianhua Sect, and he can be regarded as having a place in Tianhua Sect.

After Shi Xuan had practiced for a while, he took out an exercise that he had scavenged from the disciples of the Blood Ring Sect in Night City.

This exercise is not an offensive exercise, it belongs to an auxiliary cultivation method that refines the essence blood and improves the power of the bloodline.

Shi Xuan carefully flipped through this exercise, although it was not a high-level exercise, but it was also passable as an auxiliary exercise.

The bloodline of the human race is relatively weak among all the races in the world, and the top ten spirit beast families are all because they have a bloodline power that is stronger than other races, which is also the root of their extremely powerful races.

The Terran race has been born for countless years, and naturally there are some geniuses who have developed many ways to improve the power of the Terran's fragile bloodline, and for countless years, there have been various methods, which can more or less improve the shortcomings of the Terran bloodline.

Shi Xuan's earliest acquisition of the Divine Dragon Imperial was also an exercise to improve the power of the bloodline, but unfortunately he had only obtained two fragments so far, after his bloodline was strengthened, his strength had gained a huge bonus, and this technique of refining the essence of blood naturally attracted his attention.

After attacking and studying, he finally understood why the disciples of the Blood Ring Sect often secretly harmed some powerful spirit masters, their Blood Soul Dafa could extract powerful energy from the enemy's essence blood to improve their own strength, and even their bloodline was improved, which was also the reason why they insisted on practicing the Blood Soul Dafa.

Shi Xuan suddenly thought, why do you have to absorb the essence blood of the human race, the power of the bloodline of other high-level spirit beasts far exceeds that of the human race, and the effect will definitely be better, he still remembers that when he first practiced the Divine Dragon Palace, he had consumed a third-order spirit beast's essence blood to cultivate the Divine Dragon Palace.

Today's refining essence blood and the remnants of the Divine Dragon Imperial in his hand have given him a great inspiration, although the fragments of the Divine Dragon Imperial are incomplete, but the main idea is to continuously absorb the bloodlines of high-level spirit beasts to strengthen their own bloodlines.

He paid attention, he wanted to combine this refining essence blood technique with the remnants of the Divine Dragon Emperor he had obtained into a new exercise, and improve his own strength by constantly absorbing the bloodline of high-level spirit beasts.

In Shi Xuan's opinion, it was too cruel for those spirit masters of the Blood Ring Sect to choose the human race as their blood sacrifice, and he chose a high-level spirit beast as a target to cultivate his Divine Dragon Empire.

His ultimate goal is the bloodline of the dragon clan, but fortunately, he has obtained the chalcedony of the oolong clan and has a dragon breath, which will definitely be of great use in the future.

The Purple Winged Madly Lion was silently practicing beside him, at this moment Shi Xuan's eyes were shining and looking at its huge body, with an idea, the Purple Winged Madly Lion was now about to step into the fifth order, his strength had increased greatly, and the power of its bloodline was also considered to be in the past, Shi Xuan was eyeing this guy.

The Purple Winged Wild Lion suddenly found that its owner was looking at it as if it was staring at a treasure, and its heart suddenly panicked, and it began to avoid Shi Xuan from a distance, for fear that he would do something bad.

"Oh, what are you hiding? I just want you a small vial of essence blood, come here, good", Shi Xuan's chicken thief coaxed the huge purple-winged mad lion.

Soon Zhao Zhuo and the others heard the wail of the Purple Winged Wild Lion, and Shi Xuan really put some of its essence blood into it.

Zhao Zhuo thought that Shi Xuan had been attacked, and ran over to find that he was bleeding the Purple Winged Wild Lion.

"Shi Xuan, you're not going to kill the loyal Purple Winged Mad, are you?it's so ferocious, it's like unloading the mill and killing the donkey," Zhao Zhuo couldn't believe it.

The Purple Wing Madness Lion looked at Zhao Zhuo with blank eyes, as if he was begging for help, "Look at your stingy appearance, don't I want you a bottle of essence blood?" Shi Xuan reprimanded, and the Purple Winged Madness Lion honestly lay on the ground and let others slaughter him.

"What are you collecting essence blood for?" Zhao Zhuo asked.

"Naturally, it's to improve my strength, I have a new cultivation method, and now I lack the essence blood of a high-level spirit beast, and it barely enters my eyes, so I'll borrow some first", Shi Xuan finally collected a bottle of essence blood, and took out a small piece of chalcedony for the Purple Winged Madly Lion to eat, "This is considered compensation for you, don't droop your face", Shi Xuan patted its head and said.

Zhao Zhuo was speechless, "You can't be practicing the Blood Soul Dafa of the Blood Ring Sect, right?"

"To be precise, there is a huge difference with them, their object is the human race, and the object I chose is a high-level spirit beast, not as cruel as them," Shi Xuan said.

"The essence blood of the human race and the spirit beast are not the same, how dare you easily fuse, and you are not afraid of being counterattacked?" Zhao Zhuo asked.

"I once practiced an exercise that was able to transform this wonderful energy, and now I have another exercise to refine the essence of blood, I can give it a try", Shi Xuan naturally thought of this situation.

"Okay, since you're prepared, I won't care about you, and if you become a fierce beast at that time, I won't show mercy to your men," Zhao Zhuo said.

"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with this situation", Shi Xuan began to practice the exercises he had obtained to refine the essence blood, and began to fuse the exercises of his Divine Dragon Imperial to improve the bloodline, quenching the essence blood could highly purify and compress the strange energy in the essence blood, and his Divine Dragon Imperial was able to transform the essence blood into his own bloodline energy.

Shi Xuan remembered the situation of the first fusion, and did not dare to be careless, he highly concentrated his soul power to control this process, allowing this vast essence blood to merge into his bloodline, a violent energy surging in his body collided with his bloodline, and the violent energy impact made his meridians extremely painful.

In order to transform this essence blood, he used the Divine Dragon Imperial to resolve this strange essence and blood energy, "Damn, this piece of exercise is very incomplete, the transformation is too slow, I have to find a way to speed up the rate, otherwise my bloodline will be destroyed by this force", Shi Xuan underestimated the explosion of this bloodline power, his Divine Dragon Imperial Technique was very incomplete, and the transformation efficiency became much weaker.

"Yes, the power of my elemental fusion should be able to suppress this power", Shi Xuan thought of the new elemental power generated by the combination of the two elements in his body, and the extremely domineering power would definitely be able to resist this bloodline power.

Shi Xuan summoned the fire element and the gold element, the two extreme elements were urged by him in his body at the same time, and began to gradually fuse in his body, he had to be careful in this process, once he failed, he was very likely to be killed by his own fusion element.

He almost sent his soul power to the extreme, and slowly controlled the fusion process, a new element that was more terrifying than the power of the bloodline fused in his body, suppressed the power of the bloodline, and then operated the Divine Dragon Royal to transform this essence blood, and finally formed his own power, which remained in his bloodline meekly.

This process lasted for a long time, and it took him to complete the transformation of all these essence blood, and it was not until he succeeded that he carefully revoked the fusion element, and then completely fused this power into his whole body.

Shi Xuan urged his soul to carefully feel the new bloodline power, which had indeed been greatly strengthened, and his strength had been greatly improved.

"It's really effective, I relied on my own method to make up for the missing part of the Divine Dragon Palace?" Shi Xuan felt incredible, he used his own unique method to complete the missing parts of the Divine Dragon Imperial Technique, and found another way to complete the cultivation of the Divine Dragon Palace.

But after he fully urged the Divine Dragon Palace, a thick layer of purple gold armor appeared on his body, these purple gold were very similar to the hard appearance of the Purple Winged Wild Lion, and the defensive power was even far superior to the Purple Winged Wild Lion, Shi Xuan felt this solid defense, and the defensive power was even comparable to his fourth-order spirit armor.

When Zhao Zhuo came to him again, he happened to see Shi Xuan, who was naked, urging the Divine Dragon Emperor.

"Shi Xuan, what kind of exercise are yours, or have you become a Purple Winged Madly Lion?" Zhao Zhuo looked at Shi Xuan's defensive purple gold and the Purple Winged Madly Lion.

"Come and try my defenses, can you return it to your magic eyes?" Shi Xuan posed for Zhao Zhuo to feel.

"Okay, don't blame my brother for not being righteous?" Zhao Zhuo was eager to try.

"Don't keep your hands, I want to see if you can withstand ten percent of your strength?" Shi Xuan said directly.

"Okay, you're worried about yourself, once I exert ten percent of my strength, I will definitely not be able to stop," Zhao Zhuo said.

"Don't ink, come", Shi Xuan was ready.

Zhao Zhuo suddenly became fierce, the strength of the Heavenly Vein Realm was exposed, even the air around him became grassy and hot, and the huge true fire quickly gathered on his fist, this time he didn't spare his hand at all, this time he almost mobilized all his strength.

A terrifying punch swept through the air, bringing up a large piece of gangfeng, and hit Shi Xuan's chest wrapped in purple gold fiercely, if he was a master of Ning Yuan Realm, it was very likely that he would be punched through by him.

However, a violent collision occurred, Zhao Zhuo felt that his punch hit an extremely hard object, and the huge shock wave rebounded and knocked him and Shi Xuan to the ground, Zhao Zhuo felt that his fist was about to explode, and it was hard to imagine how amazing his defense was.

Although Shi Xuan's chest was very painful at the moment, the purple gold armor still exuded a brilliant light, and he successfully blocked Zhao Zhuo's full blow, and he was still very satisfied with this result.

"It's really terrifying, such a hard defense, you won't need a spirit armor to defend in the future, relying on such a hard technique alone is enough to make the enemy cold", Zhao Zhuo ignored the pain in his fist and carefully observed around Shi Xuan, this result gave him a great shock.

"Then do you want to take me and try it?" Shi Xuan said as he looked at Zhao Zhuo.

"Forget it, I may die if you punch me down, you still use your strength in the hands of the enemy, right?" Zhao Zhuo didn't have the courage to take his punch.

Shi Xuan also understood, the more powerful the spirit beast's essence blood brought him more power and defense, but unfortunately, the power of the bloodline of the high-level spirit beast was definitely difficult for him to accept at once, and he could only strengthen the bloodline step by step, but the bloodline was so strong that even the bloodline of the dragon and phoenix families could withstand it.

This kind of defense was enough for him to deal with most threats at this stage, and his spirit armor could still block countless attacks for him, and with a double guarantee, he could play more unscrupulously in the next battle.

But Shi Xuan also suddenly discovered that there seemed to be an irrepressible aura hidden in this essence blood, which seemed to be the negative emotions carried by the original owner of the essence blood, and it seemed to have some influence on him.

Shi Xuan carefully used the power of the soul to investigate, and it was enough to find some unstable factors, "I finally understand why the disciples of the Blood Ring Sect didn't choose the spirit beast as the target, the negative effects carried by the spirit beast will have an adverse impact on the cultivator, while the essence blood of the human race is much safer", Shi Xuan finally understood.

He quickly mobilized the majestic soul power and began to evolve this breath, and sure enough, the purifying effect of the soul power could remove this restless negative effect for him, and he didn't want to suffer an accident at a critical moment.
