Volume 12 Picking Stars Chapter 20 The Time to Come Is Finally Here!
In the dark void above the nine heavens, there should not have been starlight. Because the stars are still far away, not to mention this altitude, even if you fly up for a thousand miles, or fly up a few distances from the land of Kyushu...... It's not enough to see at all.
Even if the wall of cause and effect does not exist, the unreachable distance between the stars and the earth is itself an impassable moat.
But today, this moat was interrupted twice in a row. The first time was the brilliant starlight attracted by the Zhou Tian Great Array, and the second time was the starlight of unknown origin. - No, it's not that the origin is unknown, in fact, everyone knows that this starlight can only have one origin.
Except for the people in the Demon Gate, where else in the world would anyone arrange such a large-scale formation at this time and place!
"It's finally here!" Watching the bright starlight light in the distance, Wu Xie felt nervous but also a little unspeakable sense of relaxation, although the attack of the people in the demon gate will cause a great obstacle to the star-picking operation, and even make everyone encounter great danger, but since it is already an inevitable thing, there is nothing to say, it is better to arrive early than to be late, finish early, and do the right thing earlier.
There are not a few people who have similar thoughts to him, for example, several Ning Yuan monks near him have said, "It's finally here!", "I'll just say, it's too late if you don't come!", "It's a good time, it's time for a big battle!" Words like that.
The people in the Demon Gate will interfere with the star-picking operation, which has long been explained to everyone. It's not that the patriarchs of Huandan should pay attention to uprightness, but whether they have been prepared or not.
Of course, those preparations that are really made specifically for the purpose of facing the Demon Gate, it is naturally impossible for ordinary people to know the Dao.
For example, the Tianhuo Great Array of Qingyang Temple, except for a few people involved in this matter, no one else knows about it. Even within the Qingyang Temple, in addition to the masters of the Huandan realm, only Wu Xie and Changsun Wu knew about it.
Confucius on the earth once said: "If the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, if he is not secret, he will lose his body, and if he is not secret, he will be harmful." It is a gentleman's prudence and not out. What this means is that people should be careful in what they do and what they say, and the secrets that should be kept must be carefully guarded and never divulged.
Although the world is different, the principles of life and things are the same. Wu Xie is a person in the righteous path, but he doesn't know what the core means of the righteous path to meet the demon gate are; Yin Shuang, as a member of the Demon Gate, didn't know what the core means of attacking the righteous path of the Demon Gate were
These secrets, until the time when the incident happens, will definitely not let more people know.
However, compared to the Demon Gate's ignorance of the righteous path, the righteous path side has a slight advantage, because among the demon gates, there is a Huandan ancestor who betrays secrets just for "fun"!
The old man of Tianyan is naturally qualified to know a lot of secrets, and it is said that as the core figure of the Eight Sects of the Demon Gate, he should keep secrets. But for this old man who is suspected of having a mental state problem, no secret of the Demon Gate is as important as "interesting". Therefore, he unceremoniously betrayed the secret of his knowledge of the Tao directly, and told Wu Xie through the mouth of Yin Shuang, and Wu Xie informed the real person in charge of Qingyang Temple.
According to the old man of Tianyan, the Demon Gate will lay down the "Four Spirits Lock the Sky Great Array" to seize control of the power of Zhou Tian Xingchen and destroy the Zhou Tian Great Array of the righteous path from the source. Now, it seems, he wasn't lying. The bright starlight flowed far away from the Zhou Tian Great Array, and soon converged into a winding long dragon, this dragon head horns and scales and claws have the infinite starlight when swimming, turning the infinite starlight into a dark dark cyan color, which is one of the four great spirit beasts in the legend, the green dragon!
There are also four spirits in this world, which are the green dragon, the vermilion bird, the white tiger and the turtle. Wu Xie didn't know if the statement of Lu Dao came from the predecessor who had seen it in the "Three Chapters of Tianwen", but from the scene in front of him, the theory of the four spirits seemed to be very reasonable.
As the green dragon at the head of the four spirits took shape, there were also infinite starlight flowing in the other three voids, converging into the appearance of spirit beasts.
I saw that the green dragon was premature, and the surrounding green qi was shrouded, like countless ancient trees lush and green; The vermilion bird soars, surrounding the raging flames, as if dancing in a sea of fire; The white tiger roared, and every time the wings agitated, there would be infinite white hairs condensing the sword light and sword shadow; The turtle was silent, but the black ocean that surrounded it was constantly vibrating, making a terrifying roar.
Once these four spirit beasts were formed, they each released powerful mana, pulling the power of the stars that were being attracted by the Zhou Tian Great Array into a different direction, not only did not continue to flow into the array, but instead turned into a circle of aura around them. If you look closely at the aura, you can see countless sigils flowing in the aura.
Wu Xie tried to study those auras that surrounded him in all directions, but he only slightly deduced the meaning of those talismans, and found that his mind was extremely draining, almost like when he was fighting with all his might. From this, he knew that the formation of the Dao Dao had already exceeded the level that he could currently study, so he had to borrow the effect of the Heavenly Book World Realm to record it, and then study it slowly when his cultivation increased in the future.
There is no need to be in a hurry about things on his side, but things on the battlefield can't be in a hurry. Although the leaders of the extraterritorial heavenly demons in the comet had not been in contact with the people in the demon gate in advance, they did not need to prepare in advance to cooperate with each other, but as soon as they saw the change in the situation at this moment, they immediately keenly seized the opportunity and sent a large number of troops, rushing towards the Zhou Tian Great Array.
Their tactic was very simple, that is, they sent out the eighteenth, who was the fastest and best at rushing and attacking among the ordinary heavenly demons. This tactic is completely untechnical, but it is best suited to the situation at hand.
In folklore, "wise generals" often like to use various tricks, and let their subordinates "so, so, so, and ......" when fighting against the enemy, but in fact, most of the real famous generals and mercenaries are just three words: "steady, fast, and ruthless".
Stability is the basis for employing soldiers. The goal of the war is to defeat the enemy, and before that, the first thing is to avoid being defeated by the enemy. Therefore, all famous generals may not be able to see it in ordinary times, but at critical moments, they must be very stable, and their army must be able to stabilize the situation.
Fast is the core of using soldiers. The so-called soldiers are noble and fast, marching and fighting, if we are strong and the enemy is weak, it is not enough, the enemy and I are almost the same, and even when the enemy is strong and I am weak, with a quick word, we can often form a local advantage, turning disadvantage into advantage. In the final analysis, many magical combat power in history actually lie in the word "fast".
Ruthless is the secret art of using soldiers. People on the battlefield are just a number, a consumable of flesh and blood. A good general must be a person who knows how to use such consumables. When it is time to sacrifice, they will never hesitate; And when it's time to kill, they will never be merciful.
In the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, although the Zhao army was completely annihilated, nearly half of the Qin army was killed - most of this loss was caused when blocking Zhao Kuo's breakthrough. If Bai Qi is not stable enough and can't calm down, he will personally lead the troops to kill like Zhao Kuo, and he may die on the battlefield like Zhao Kuo; And if his strange army marched fast enough, it would be too late to cut off the back road of the Zhao army, and the encirclement could not be formed; If he hadn't been ruthless enough to decisively carry out a massacre in battle, Zhao Guo would not have suffered a lot of damage in this battle, so that he had not slowed down for many years.
The leaders of the extraterritorial heavenly demons among the comets are naturally not famous generals, but with their age and knowledge, I am afraid that the famous generals in the world are nothing in front of them. At this moment, the shot is the key to the art of war, without hesitation, without half a point of dragging, as soon as he made a move, he went straight to the weakened Zhou Tian Great Array.
In the void, thousands of extraterritorial heavenly demons were silent, and with heavy killing intent, they galloped quietly.
This kind of heavenly demon named "Golden Treasure Flag" by Jean's predecessors has no golden light on its body, and it does not look like a flag, in fact, it is all blue, with a slender body, and it seems to be very delicate, but its sharp minions prove that it is definitely not a kind person.
The biggest advantage of this kind of Heavenly Demon is that it flies extremely fast, and Wu Jie's Fire Escape Technique is like a child's game in front of them. If you let this army of at least thousands of extraterritorial Heavenly Demons rush up, I'm afraid that the Zhou Tian Great Array may not be able to withstand it!
After all, this No. 18 Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon, in addition to its speed, is also extremely powerful!
Seeing these extraterritorial Heavenly Demons rapidly approaching, they changed their form - the pair of bone spurs shaped like short wings behind them slowly elongated, turning into two swarthy tubes, and then began to slowly rotate, aiming at this side.
"Make no mistake! Another shelling?!" Wu Xie couldn't help but want to scold, "Senior Ji's book didn't say that this guy would also shell!" Won't it only fight in close quarters, at most turning its claws into swords?"
The senior of Jean with inaccurate information had been working for many years, and no matter how much Wu Xie complained, it was useless, so he had no choice but to take a breath of true qi, urge the spell, turn a flash of fire into a flying fire dragon, and casually find an extraterritorial heavenly demon as a target and bombard it.
There are many people who choose to do something similar to him, and everyone knows that the Zhou Tian Great Array has been disturbed, and at present, they can only use the stored star power to fight, and these star power is to intercept the comet fragments after defeating the enemy, and they can't be wasted - in that case, then do it yourself!
Among the people present, the lowest cultivation was also the Refining Gang Flying Immortal, each of whom had a shocking ability, and they shot this round, only to see all kinds of spells and magic weapons blasting towards the menacing Heavenly Demon Army like raindrops.
There was a roar, thunder and light exploded everywhere, and in just a moment's effort, at least thousands of extraterritorial heavenly demons were directly annihilated.
Wu Jie's spell also hit the target, burning one Heavenly Demon to ashes, and the aftermath also scattered in all directions, burning several other Heavenly Demons to the ground. He watched the Demon Refining Divine Fire easily defeat a small group of Heavenly Demons, and couldn't help but think of the battle with the Sanshan Dao people at the beginning.
During that battle, he faced the phantom of an extraterritorial heavenly demon, and he was still restrained, and he was almost helpless against the other party. But now, in the face of the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon Body, he can kill one and injure one with a single move-in the past few decades, his ability has indeed grown a lot!
Wu Xie continued to send out demon refining divine fires, defeating groups of extraterritorial heavenly demons one after another, but his heart was not half happy, but full of the vicissitudes of time.
However, the people in the Demon Gate would not give him time to sigh the passage of time slowly, just as the extraterritorial heavenly demons rushed towards the Zhou Tian Great Array one after another, the four spirit beasts transformed by the formation also rose with powerful mana brilliance, condensed into four extremely strong spells, and blasted towards the Zhou Tian Great Array!
