Outside Nanhu Pass, 200,000 troops lined up in a solemn formation, murderous.

In the sky in front of Nanhu Pass, hundreds of cultivators with various weapons floated in the air, exuding an aura that was superior to the 200,000 troops below.

On the ten-zhang high Nanhu Pass city wall, Wu Chengjun frowned, and looked coldly at the dense cultivators in the sky, he knew that this was no longer a regular national war, and it had already involved a realm that he could not touch.

The huge arrow crossbow on the city wall, the three-meter-long sharp arrow, was firmly aimed at those powerful cultivators, who were once immortals in their minds.

In Nanhu Pass, the 50,000 soldiers in Linhu City plus the 120,000 remnants of the defeated Pingwa District were not much less powerful than the 200,000 troops of the Great River Kingdom outside the Guan.

If it was placed ten years ago, with this 170,000 army, Wu Chengjun was absolutely sure that he would repel the army of the Great River Country, and it was only a matter of time before he recovered the Pingwa area.

But now, those immortals who were originally beyond the world actually put down their bodies and formed an army to meddle in the affairs of the mortal world regardless of the empty heavenly rules.

Wu Chengjun looked back, there were more than two hundred cultivators recruited through heavy money and interests behind him, and only sixty or seventy people were able to fly with the sword, which was nothing in the eyes of the hundreds of cultivators on the other side, and he didn't know how many small cultivators who could block ten mortals with one in the 200,000 army.

"Wu Chengjun, surrender, Zhao Guo will not be able to resist the army of the Heavenly Oracle Palace. ”

In front of Nanhu Pass, Liu Shui, the commander of the Great River Country, shouted loudly, and there was some sadness and indignation in his tone, feeling sad and indignant that hundreds of thousands of troops defending the country surrendered without a fight.

Wu Chengjun also knew that he couldn't resist, but he couldn't surrender, because once he surrendered, Zhao would lose its eastern barrier, and the armies of the big river country and the small river country would be like entering a no-man's land, and they could fight all the way to the capital of King Zhao.

Although Zhao has 12 districts, only 6 border passes are stationed, and now 2 districts have been lost, and the other three districts are the three adjacent to Wei in the west of Zhao State, resisting the four major powers outside Wei - Yan, Kongming, Lianyun, and Chu.

If Wei and the three major powers adjacent to it surrendered to Yan, then Zhao would have to resist the most stubborn enemy with an army of 500,000 in the three districts.

Kongming, Lianyun and Chu are all among the best powers in the Eastern Regions, and their national strength is only stronger than that of Yan ten years ago, and they will not surrender easily, but this is just the wishful thinking of Wu Chengjun and the people of Zhao State.

"Marshal Liu, you know that I can't surrender, if I surrender, then my Zhao Kingdom will be finished. ”

Wu Chengjun stood at the head of the city, his expression was calm, full of heroism, and shouted: "I can't hide it, now I also have 200,000 soldiers in Nanhu Pass, if I don't fight, how can I be worthy of my heroic son of Zhao State!"

"Wu Chengjun, then I'm sorry, I want to be at the beginning, hey, don't mention the beginning, let's fight!"

In the middle of the 200,000 army, on a chariot, Liu Shu waved his hand helplessly, and the military flag with the bright red word "Li" on the sleeve of the army beside him waved, signaling the army to attack the city.

"Kill!"

Seeing the wave of the military flag, the army of the Great River Kingdom raised their weapons one after another, and rushed forward with shouts.

"Array!"

At the head of the city, Wu Chengjun waved his big hand fiercely and shouted loudly: "Ghosts and gods cry at night, and a hundred ghosts travel at night!"

For a time, thousands of soldiers at the head of the city took out large stones stained with all kinds of blood from under the city walls, and the stones were painted with strange ghost patterns in books.

There are headless ghosts with severed heads and flowing blood, long-tongued ghosts with two-meter tongues sticking out, limbless ghosts crawling on the ground with severed hands and feet, and hanged ghosts dressed in red......

If you look closely, in addition to the humanoid ghosts, there are many strange yokai patterns: a black cat with five tails, a crow with three legs, a tengu with missing arms and legs, and some invisible youkai with only outlines and no substances......

As soon as those stones appeared, the entire Nanhu Pass City suddenly had a gust of wind, ghosts cried wolves, flying sand and stones, and the sky was full of dance.

Then in the sky above the entire Nanhu Pass, countless hovering ghosts appeared, and the rolling spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged, forming a huge black light curtain that shrouded the entire Nanhu Pass.

Tens of thousands of soldiers on the city wall began to relay, placing the rolling stones in all corners of the ten-zhang high city wall and in the battlements, the cold aura was emanated, and the entire Nanhu Pass seemed to have fallen into the Shura Hell, which was extremely terrifying.

Seeing the sudden change in the situation at Nanhu Pass, the vanguard general of the 200,000 Great River Country Army cried wolf, and immediately ordered his troops to stop the pace of charging and wait for further instructions from Liu Shu.

Liu Shu, who had retreated to half a mile outside Nanhu Pass, had already observed those things that only existed in legends, but he did not give the order to retreat, nor did he give instructions to attack, but said to the close guards around him: "What do you mean by going and seeing them?"

When the guard heard this, he ran away expressionlessly, ran back to Liu Shu's side with a half-burn, and whispered: "The group of people in the Heavenly Oracle Hall asked the Great River Country to continue the attack and try that big array." ”

"Bastard!"

When Liu Shu heard this, he was furious, slapped his hands on the chariot wheel, and then roared unabashedly: "Aren't the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of my Great River Country alive and alive, and they want to fulfill their inexplicable ambitions for their lives in the Heavenly Oracle Palace?!"

Liu Shu's roar spread far away, causing everyone to panic for a while, afraid that the envoy of the Heavenly Oracle Hall would be angry, so the guards around him reminded in a low voice: "Marshal, be quiet, His Majesty the Emperor and the entire people of Dahe are under their control." ”

"Let Liu Xianfeng lead an army of 10,000 to continue the attack, it is best to enter the light curtain, if not, withdraw and let those immortals fight by themselves. ”

In the end, the herald beside Liu said, "Remember, this is not a war that must be won, just do your best to obey the destiny of heaven." ”

"Command!"

The herald waited for the order and immediately waved his horsewhip and galloped away, while Liu Shu smiled bitterly and whispered, "You don't have to be so fast. ”

Not long after, the 10,000 soldiers of the Great River Country's forward army raised the Changge in their hands again, shouted slogans, and rushed towards the pitch-black light curtain of less than 100 meters.

Soon, they came into contact with the light curtain that glowed with black brilliance, but to their surprise, the light curtain did not stop him in the slightest, and easily broke through.

Before the 10,000 soldiers of the Great River Country had time to be happy, at the head of the city, Wu Chengjun looked at the 10,000 soldiers of the Great River Country under the city wall, waved his hand calmly, and countless sharp arrows shot at the city wall, and soon shot most of the 10,000 soldiers, and blood sprinkled the entire battlefield.

The remaining 40,000 soldiers of the Great River Country's vanguard army saw from a distance that the black light curtain was not very good, so they immediately roared and rushed forward to meet their comrades who had been wounded by sharp arrows.

At this moment, the blood sprinkled on the ground, as if fumigated by high temperature, turned into a blood-colored smoke screen, which slowly spread under the feet of the soldiers, making it seem that a blood-red fog fell in front of Nanhu Pass, covering the battlefield at the foot of the entire Nanhu Pass city wall.

After the blood-colored mist appeared, the soldiers in it flew wildly into the air with their weapons as if they had seen terrifying demons and monsters.

After dancing for a while, those soldiers suddenly slashed at their nearest companion like red-eyed beasts, and the entire battlefield was completely chaotic, and the 10,000 soldiers of the Great River Country fell into a frenzied cannibalism.

In just half a stick of incense, all 10,000 soldiers fell in a pool of blood, not a single person was alive, and the blood-red fog was half a minute darker, completely covering the fallen corpses.

The soldiers who wanted to go to meet them were frightened by the scene just now and stopped moving forward.

Unfortunately, the hundreds of soldiers who rushed to the front came into contact with the pitch-black light curtain, and their feet were contaminated with blood-red mist, and they instantly fell into madness, killing each other to death, and roaring madly in their mouths.

At the head of the city, Wu Chengjun's still calm face, his face unconsciously moved a few times, and the clenched fist in his hand tightened a little.

In the army of the Great River Country, Liu Shu's body trembled, his eyes fell into blood red, and in just half a burnt of incense, 10,000 soldiers died like that, which made him very heartbroken and angry.

Just as he was about to question the person from the Heavenly Oracle Hall again, a faint voice came from the sky: "Sure enough, it's a ghost cultivator, I can't imagine that the little Zhao Kingdom, and the famous ghost cultivator are hidden here." ”

Ghost cultivation is a branch of meditation cultivation, they take the fortune of the empire and the fortune of mortals and mortals as the basis of cultivation, and major in cultivating the divine soul, so as to obtain the earth-shattering power to change the heavens and the earth.

However, the soul cultivators in Middle-earth are very rare, except for a few records in the "Cultivator Immortal Compilation", there are almost no hidden cults on weekdays.

"Cultivating Immortals" records that in ancient times, there were cultivators who detained millions of souls in the world, covered the heavens, led the general trend of the immortal kingdom, and tried to break through the sky. The emperor couldn't bear the dissipation of millions of souls, and with the blessing of the empire's national fortunes, he held the Heaven Turning Seal, fought with the ancient cultivators for several days, and suppressed the ancient cultivators in the eternal underworld, never coming out.

Through this record, cultivators all over the world speculated that the meditation cultivation in the Middle-earth Continent should have entered the eternal underworld, and they did not expect that in this mortal realm, there would be a meditation cultivation, which surprised the cultivators who came with the army of the Heavenly Oracle Palace.

A purple gold light shot out, and a ten-zhang giant manifested, at the same height as the city wall of Nanhu Pass, surrounded by immortal light, and looked coldly at the head of Nanhu Pass.

The hundred-zhang giant was dressed in a purple and gold cloak, majestic as the sea, and the invisible coercion was emanating, and the 190,000 soldiers of the Great River Country trembled, and there was an urge to bow down automatically.

Feeling the impact of invisible coercion, the pitch-black light curtain that shrouded the city wall suddenly surged violently, and countless pitch-black smoke screens flowed, and finally condensed a giant beast shrouded in pitch-black smoke screens.

Behemoths have no fixed form, and they change with the flow of the pitch-black smoke screen, but they always have huge heads, countless razor-sharp claws, and scales, which are the basic characteristics of beasts.

"I am one of the top ten purple gold envoys of the Eastern Regions Branch of the Heavenly Oracle Palace, Yin Xiao, according to the decree of the Lord of the Eastern Regions Palace, take down the Eastern Regions countries, the ghost cultivators in front listen, and those who know each other quickly withdraw the big array, otherwise, hundreds of cultivators will do it together, and it will only be an instant to break through your big array!"
