Chapter 67: The Saint's Shot
"Gu Xu has always liked to use some virtual and real tactics.
"For example, he used the 'blossom on the tree' strategy before.
"Originally, there were no flowers on the tree, but you can cut them into flowers with colored silk and stick them to the book, and they are made like real flowers, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake without looking carefully. A weak army can also take advantage of the situation to disguise itself as a strong and powerful army to deter the enemy with momentum.
"Gu Xu didn't have a few soldiers in his hands before, but with thousands of paper figures, he forced the defenders of the six cities in the northwest to surrender without a fight."
"Then what he played today is also a trick of 'blossoming on a tree'?"
"In my opinion, it smells more of an empty city.
"Normally speaking, when our two armies are facing each other, if Gu Xu and those saints and true monarchs under his command appear in front of the battle, it will definitely have a great incentive effect on the morale of the army.
"In the name of the reincarnation of the immortals, Gu Xu has condensed the forces of the north, the grassland, and the northwest officials, and he must also need to personally win a big victory to enhance his prestige and control over the rebels.
However, until now, Gu Xu, Luo Chuan, Xu Man and others have not shown up.
"Maybe they really encountered something tricky, and they couldn't get out of it for the time being, and they couldn't go to war.
"But they simply 'make a fool of themselves', making us 'suspicious and suspicious', making us think that there are conspiracies and tricks hidden in front of us, and we dare not act rashly.
"Even let Zhao Yan talk to me about some irrelevant gossip before coming to the battle.
"Maybe if they drag it out any longer, they'll be able to get their way."
"I didn't expect you to be a person who learns talismans, and you've read some military books."
"I haven't read it, it's my master who has read it, and he used to like to talk to me about the art of war in his free time."
"There is indeed some truth to what you said," Master Jueming pondered for a moment and asked his own question, "It's just that I don't understand a little bit.
"For Gu Xu and the powerhouses under his command, what will be more important and tricky than today's battle, so that they can't get out?"
The Great Qi National Master pondered for a while, and said with a serious expression: "You say, will there be anyone among them who is breaking through the realm?" ”
"Breaking the ......"
Master Jueming silently repeated the word, frowning unconsciously.
Indeed, for cultivators of their level, only the pursuit of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and higher powers would override this important war that could affect the fate of the country.
Moreover, after the cultivator pushed open the Xudu Gate, every time he took another step forward, his strength would undergo a transformation.
If a saint is successfully promoted to become a true monarch, he can almost turn the tide of the battle on his own.
Gu Xu and the others did not participate in the war in order to break through the realm, which was undoubtedly a reasonable choice.
In this way, if they really succeed in delaying time and completing the realm jump, then the battle situation faced by the Qi army will be even more difficult.
"Then you think who will break through the realm?" Master Jueming asked.
"It can only be Xu Man," the Great Qi National Master replied without thinking, "Luo Chuan and Zhao Changying are both True Monarch powerhouses, and if they break through further, they will have to survive the Heavenly Tribulation."
"Gu Xu only broke through the sixth realm this summer, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be ready to be promoted to saint in such a short period of time.
And Xu Man himself is a genius sword cultivator who became a saint in his thirties. Now, almost another thirty years have passed since then. In such a long period of time, maybe she has a deeper understanding of kendo, which is enough to construct her own 'Dao Rule'. ”
When he said this, the national teacher spoke very quickly, and seemed to be very sure of his judgment.
"But Gu Xu's son is too different," Master Jueming didn't quite agree with the national teacher's opinion, "He has cultivated from the first realm to the sixth realm in less than a year. We can't take common sense for it. ”
Because Master Jueming felt that Gu Xu might really be the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei.
Therefore, in his opinion, if Gu Xu inherited the comprehension of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in his previous life, then breaking through the saint in this life would be as simple as eating and drinking.
"Have you forgotten that breaking through the seventh realm from the sixth realm will have a vision of heaven and earth," the national teacher pointed out the crux of the problem, "With Gu Xu's outrageous talent, if he breaks through the realm, his vision will at least cover a radius of thousands of miles." ”
"The vision will not appear until the most critical moment of breaking through the realm," Master Jueming retorted, "Maybe Gu Xu is only in the early stages of retreat now. ”
"Then it can't be Gu Xu," the national teacher's tone was even firmer, "Condensing one's own way and stepping into the Yama Palace, the duration of this process is full of uncertainty, from a few days to a few months, or even years.
"Once the breakthrough begins, the monk will be immersed in the Netherworld, and the concept of time will be lost in an instant.
"If you interrupt in the middle of the process, you will lose all your previous efforts, or even go mad and destroy the foundation.
"Like myself, as soon as my eyes were closed and opened, three months passed in a swoop.
"Do you think that in this tense situation, do you think Gu Xu will be stupid enough to ignore his own forces, ignore the enemies under the city, and hide in the retreat room with all the strong men under his command, and do something that I don't know how long it will last?
"In contrast, breaking through from a saint to becoming a true monarch is a silent thing, as long as the opportunity comes and you feel it, it will be done in the blink of an eye."
The various explanations of the national teacher are extremely reasonable, and Master Jueming is powerless to refute them.
It's just that maybe because of the previous meeting with Gu Xu in Lingshan Temple, Master Jueming was so impressed that he always had an inexplicable premonition that Gu Xu would give him a huge surprise in the near future.
And the national teacher had already silently deduced in his mind that if Xu Man really advanced to the eighth realm with a sword path with extremely strong killing power, how should he and the Qi army deal with it.
At this time, Zhao Yan's law was full of fire, first smashing the "Liuhe Shield" around the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan's body like a turtle shell, and then another punch hit Xiao Shangyuan's chest, causing him to spit blood and fall from the air like a kite with a broken string.
The figure of the national teacher disappeared on the high platform in an instant.
He tore through the space and stepped to the place where the battle was most intense.
He held the prince who fell from the sky with one hand, sent him back to the rear of the army with Zhenyuan, and made a few gestures in the air with the other hand.
His fingertips outlined several disembodied runes, turning into golden meteor showers, forming a circle, imprisoning Zhao Yan's law phase in the middle, making it impossible for him to continue attacking the Great Prince.
Then the national teacher lightly clenched his fists.
These golden meteors instantly converged in all directions to the center, bursting out at the heart of the Faxiang, colorful and gorgeous, like fireworks on the night of the Yuan Dynasty.
The pieces of glow are illusory, and the branches are evenly colored.
When the fireworks dissipated, the fluttering appearance of the green shirt no longer existed.
Zhao Yan's face turned pale.
