Chapter 291: Gray Shadow
The sand sculpture told Qin Liang that Yi had rushed to Jingcheng according to his instructions and secretly protected Zhao Tiande.
In order to prevent the Chu people and dogs from jumping over the wall in a hurry and dispatching strong monks to attack Zhao Tiande, Qin Liang asked Yi Yu to dispatch to secretly protect Zhao Tiande.
With Yi Yu by his side, unless the Chu State used two or three golden immortals at all costs, it was impossible to kill Zhao Tiande. But at the moment, the state of Chu is crumbling, the envoys of the Immortal Dynasty are negotiating in the capital of Chu, and Chu must have a strong person to guard it, so as to deter the envoys of the Immortal Dynasty. Even if there were a few golden immortals, it would be impossible for them all to be sent out to carry out hunting missions at once.
So with Yi Yi in Jingcheng, Zhao Tiande can basically sit back and relax.
"Let's go......"
Qin Liang held Zhao Hong's hands and said softly.
......
"Uncle, Xiong Ba sent a challenge book again......
Zhao Dezhu held a silk book in his hand and looked at Zhao Tiande with a solemn face.
Zhao Tiande pinned his legs, leaned back on the big chair, stretched out his hand to wipe the messy scum, and rubbed the sword marks on the leather armor on his body, and smiled coldly: "Read!"
"Brother Tiande is like a ......face when he sees words"
"Phew, who is your virtuous brother, I am your grandfather!"
Zhao Tiande scolded.
Zhao Dezhu's voice paused, but soon, he continued to read.
This isn't the first time Xiong Ba has sent him a challenge book.
And Xiong Ba turned over and over and only said the same thing, that is, the two soldiers were fighting, the casualties were too great, it was better for him to compare the two, if Zhao Tiande won, Xiong Ba immediately led the troops to retreat, retreated to the south of Qiulingdu, and no longer met with Zhao Tiande's soldiers.
If Zhao Tiande loses, then withdraw from Jingcheng with the Zhenxi Army, Xiong Ba also said that three days before the retreat of the Zhenxi Army, the Chu army will not take the opportunity to sneak attack, so that Zhao Tiande can retreat with confidence.
Although Zhao Tiande has a straightforward personality, he will not believe Xiong Ba's words at all.
"Grass! This surnamed Xiong is stupid to be Lao Tzu!"
Listening to Zhao Dezhu read the challenge book, Zhao Tiande scolded: "Don't think that he has been walking with the strength of a nine-rank martial artist, I really think he is a nine-pin!" Damn, the ghosts of Lishan are all heavenly immortals, even if he is not a golden immortal, he is also the peak of heavenly immortals, what is the point of bullying me a guy who is not a hidden immortal?!"
Zhao Tiande was quite annoyed.
After taking the Qilin Pill, he received information that Jingcheng was empty and could be attacked with one blow. Zhao Tiande did not doubt it, and led the army to suddenly attack Jingcheng, and sure enough, Jingcheng was easily captured.
In the process of fighting, Zhao Tiande also digested the medicinal effect of the Qilin Pill, broke through in one fell swoop, and became a nine-rank martial arts cultivator, with a harmonious realm, and it seemed that he could feel something at any time, and became a martial artist of the ten-rank hidden fairyland in one fell swoop.
The progress of cultivation made Zhao Tiande very happy.
He originally thought that he could only spin around in Bapin for the rest of his life, but what he didn't expect was that there would be a breakthrough one day. But Zhao Tiande was not arrogant because of this. He knew quite well that the Nine-Rank Martial Cultivation, in the worldly world, could indeed go sideways, and in the entire Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty, the leading Nine-Rank Martial Cultivation was already very rare.
However, there are many Qi practitioners on the mountain, and there are many monks of the Nine Grades. The Nine Grades are just a threshold for monks, and only monks who cross this threshold and reach the realm of latent immortals can hope to live forever and have the qualifications to pursue the Great Dao.
In the face of Xiong Ba's challenge, Zhao Tiande was even more cautious.
The other party is the military god of the Chu State.
Although Xiong Ba relies on wisdom and is known as the god of war for his ability to strategize, and he usually only shows it in the realm of nine-rank martial arts, Zhao Tiande knows very well that Xiong Ba must be clumsy. The enemy is lenient, and Zhao Tiande directly believes that Xiong Ba is a golden immortal power!
Just a nine rank to challenge the power of the Golden Immortal, that is to send to death!
In front of Jin Xian, the martial arts cultivation of the ninth grade is not much different from a piece of dough, and it is an object that can be pinched and kneaded at will. If he really stupidly agreed, rushed over to fight Xiong Ba between the two armies, and then was slapped into powder by the other party's casual slap, the military heart of the Zhenxi Army was shattered in an instant, and tens of thousands of troops were buried here.
"Set up the spirit cannon, if there is still a messenger coming, it will be smashed with one shot, don't let him continue to annoy!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Dezhu went as ordered.
"Mom...... Something isn't quite right!"
After Zhao Dezhu left, Zhao Tiande said depressedly: "That information, it seems to be fake?"
The Zhenxi Army has a systematic intelligence system, but this intelligence system is rooted in the western frontier of the Immortal Dynasty, and the main active direction is the Western Barbarians and the demon clan in the depths of the Western Wilderness.
When the Zhenxi Army went south, although this system also followed south, the speed of spreading out was not fast, and in order to speed up the progress, more Chu people had to be recruited, and impurities were likely to appear in the intelligence system.
"In this way, Jingcheng has become a trap ......"
Zhao Tiande was a little worried.
He didn't care too much about his personal safety. Daughter Zhao Hongxiang is known for her prestige in the army, and if he dies in battle, the Zhenxi Army will immediately be replaced with a more qualified commander. And his son-in-law is even more incredible, he is an earl at a young age, and his future is limitless, so he will naturally take the Zhao family on a more brilliant road, he has nothing to regret.
But in Jingcheng, there were 780,000 Zhenxi troops stationed, excluding the part formed by expanding the army all the way, and 30,000 were the core elites he brought from Western Xinjiang. Once this place is damaged, the blow to the Zhenxi army is almost devastating, and there will be countless orphans and widows in the world.
"In this way, Jingcheng was given to me by Xiong Ba on his own initiative, and this place is already full of danger!"
Zhao Tiande inhaled hissedly, he finally realized the danger.
Perhaps the danger is not Xiong Ba and hundreds of thousands of Chu troops outside Jingcheng, but in this small city that has been occupied by the Zhenxi army.
"Did the Chu people use poison, or did the formation strangle my Zhenxi army?"
Zhao Tiande quickly fell into deep thought.
He also had a good understanding of the monks' methods of killing. If you want to kill legions on a large scale, this is the most efficient means.
"Someone, give me a thorough investigation of the entire Jingcheng, searching for places where poisons or formations may be hidden! Immediately! Now!"
Zhao Tiande suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
......
Outside the city, the camp of the Chu army.
In the camp of the Chinese army, Xiong Ba, who had a tiger's back and a bear's waist and resolute facial features, looked at the hourglass with less than a quarter left on the desk, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Tiande, a reckless man, is looking for his own death, it is really not a pity to die, and it is more than innocent ......to die."
"Once the Spirit Drawing Array is opened, the power of the Heavenly Immortals will not be able to stop it, and all the people in it will be absorbed from the spiritual flesh, and eventually become the nutrients in the formation, and strengthen the formation, when the time comes, the military god, you will not only destroy the army of the Zhou Kingdom, but also get a very lethal formation, it is really a double win. ”
A hoarse voice, complimenting on the side.
Xiong Ba followed the voice and saw a faint gray shadow standing next to him.
"It's all your Excellency's credit, but it's just that there is such an evil art in Zhongshenzhou, which is really surprising to Xiong. ”
"The Middle-earth Divine Continent is inclusive, a hundred flowers are blooming, and evil magic is also one of the spells, which can naturally have a long history. ”
Gray Shadow laughed, not knowing whether it was a heartfelt compliment or a cold sarcasm.
