Chapter 299: The Western Expedition Ends

On the wide battlefield, the huge red sun shone brightly, and the north wind came in early summer, blowing a wave of heat, making people sweat.

But it was such a hot weather, but the Nanzhao army in the south of the city did not feel the slightest scorching, but a huge chill enveloped them in an instant.

The tall stone pillar, which broke through the ground for three meters, hung a headless corpse on it, pierced through the abdomen by time, and bright red blood flowed down the stone pillar, and soon formed a pool of blood on the ground.

The head rolled in disbelief, and finally stopped at a position about three feet southwest of the stone pillar, just looking up at the stone pillar obliquely, a pair of sloppy eyes staring at the familiar body above, and gradually lost its divine light.

Countless people in front of the two armies watched this scene and fell into a dead silence for a while.

But soon, the dead silence was broken.

Riots arose on the side of the Nanzhao army.

"The eldest prince, the eldest prince is dead?"

"Impossible, the eldest prince is so strong, how can he die if he is blessed by the Great God of Black Feather?"

"How could that man kill the Great Prince?"

"He's not human!"

A cry of surprise and panic quickly spread among the soldiers of the Southern Zhao Army, and as the news reached the rear, the commotion was rapidly expanding.

As the commander of the army, especially the innate grandmaster, after a series of victories since the Northern Expedition to Xichuan, Zhao Changqing's status in the minds of the Southern Zhao Army can be said to be incomparable.

To put it mildly, this great prince is probably similar to Lu Yuan in the Chu army in the hearts of the Southern Zhao army.

Although the disparity between the two, whether it is strength or ability, is too large and far from comparable.

But Zhao Changqing's influence on the Southern Zhao Army can be seen from this.

And such a character, in front of 10,000 people at this time, was killed by Lu Yuan in an open way.

With absolute strength, there is no deception, and he is killed in a dignified manner.

The blow brought about by this fact and result almost instantly broke the psychological defense line of a large number of soldiers of the Southern Zhao Army. For a while, they had the idea that Lu Yuan was like a god and a demon, absolutely incomparable.

The original courage and fighting spirit were also destroyed in an instant.

At this time, in the Nanzhao army opposite, there were already scattered soldiers who began to flee. And with these people taking the lead, this wave of exodus is still expanding.

Especially in the Chu army array, there were voices one after another, "King Shenwei!" "Chu State is victorious! After cheering like that, the number of people fleeing became even more.

In front of all the hosts, the king of his own family personally killed the commander on the opposite side.

This is not only a blow to the enemy's morale, but also an unimaginable joy to one's own morale.

At this time, in the array of the Chu army, there were already many soldiers with blood and energy, and they couldn't help but want to rush forward, kill one side in the array of the Nanzhao army, and enjoy this honor and victory with the king.

And in the midst of all the cheers and noise.

Lu Yuan looked at Zhao Changqing, who died easily, and was also slightly surprised.

Although he knew that with his own strength, it would not be difficult at all to defeat such an innate grandmaster who was born in a remote place, especially if he was still a newcomer.

But the other party was killed so easily, but it was really beyond his expectations.

After all, this is also an innate grandmaster no matter what.

This is different from the previous Gui Lianyun, Zhang Chanyi, and the Li Clan's Great Witch Sacrifice.

The above three people, who were all consumed by others, were damaged in their state, and they were taken by surprise by Lu Yuan and assassinated by a sneak attack.

In that case, it is common sense that these three people will be resolved without the power to resist.

But Zhao Changqing was upright, and he was killed by the public when he had already taken precautions.

Although there are also reasons why the other party does not know Lu Yuan's true strength and is negligent.

But that's enough to say a lot.

'Is it because I'm too strong?' ’

This thought flashed through Lu Yuan's heart.

Although this is a bit Versailles, to be honest, he really doesn't have much concept of being too strong.

After all, although to outsiders, Lu Yuan, the king of Chu, has a strong record.

Before the conquest, the battle record on the bright side was the killing of two innate people.

And with the spread of the deeds of killing the Great Witch Festival and Zhao Changqing in the past two months, the terrifying achievements of the congenital four people will be more widely spread, making the world yearn for awe.

Although these records are strong, in fact, Lu Yuan's fight with those four subordinate souls is not much.

It is often between one or two moves that the winner of life and death has already been decided.

Therefore, on top of the battlefield battle, Lu Yuan's experience in fighting with the enemy is actually not much.

At least it is far better than those veteran grandmasters in the world's powerhouses.

Other grandmasters don't have his unconventional strength, and they don't have immortal and martial dual cultivation, if they want to defeat enemies of the same level, they often need dozens or hundreds of tricks to fight, and they can only decide the winner with the result of losing both.

Even if you win, it is very difficult to keep the enemy in that state, so there is a consensus that it is difficult to kill.

And relying on this extremely strong life-saving ability, the Innate Grandmaster has become a strategic deterrent to all countries.

In the absence of absolute certainty of killing the innate grandmaster, it is like a nuclear weapon, which makes other countries afraid and dare not easily launch a war to destroy the country.

From this point of view, Lu Yuan has actually become a force deterrent that surpasses the regular grandmaster.

Because of other ordinary innate grandmasters, none of them can be like him, who has been able to kill four innate masters in a row in just over ten years since his debut.

But come to think of it, it's also common sense.

After all, what kind of existence is Lu Yuan now?

A monk who condenses the immortal path and a grandmaster of the second realm of the martial arts innate realm.

These two achievements, no matter who they put on, are enough to be proud of their peers in the world.

After all, these two realms, in a sense, have reached the limit of the two realms of immortal and martial arts.

In terms of the Immortal Dao, as far as Lu Yuan knew, no one had yet been able to condense the Qi of the Second Dao and the Five Elements, and they were basically in the cultivation realm of condensing the Qi just like him.

And according to his perception of his current cultivation, with the current poverty of the immortal qi of today, unless someone is like him, practicing the way of luck that exchanges his life for cultivation.

Otherwise, if you cultivate according to the orthodox immortal Dao method of the Five Thunder Book, you won't want to condense the two qi after practicing for three or five hundred years.

But the problem is that the limit of the life span of a monk who condenses his qi is only two hundred years. Even if you count some life extension means, at most one or two decades is the limit.

In these short years, where did the time come to break through the cultivation of condensing the two qis?

Therefore, condensing as one is basically the limit of the Ten Domains of Kyushu Immortal Cultivation Realm now.

And this limit lies in falling at an extremely fast speed.

Maybe in another one or two hundred years, it will be impossible for the monks of the world to unite as one.

The immortal path is still so down.

In terms of martial arts, not to mention.

The rumored innate third realm, that is, the realm of the great grandmaster known as the land immortals, except for seven hundred years ago, there was a rumored Kunwu Zhenjun in the northern Zhao Kingdom.

For the next 700 years, I have not heard of anyone who has reached such a state.

Judging from the current situation that martial arts need a large number of divine blood xenomorphs to break through the innate realm, Lu Yuan speculated that if they want to break through the great sects of the innate third realm, they should also need higher-level god blood xenomorphs, or other similar spiritual artifacts.

But now, the god-blood xenomorphs raised by the forces of various sects have all undergone large-scale bloodline degradation.

Even many caves and blessed lands have been unable to meet the breeding conditions of the god-blood xenomorphs, and there have been cases of god-blood xenomorphs dying.

In this environment, if you want to cultivate a higher-level divine blood xenomorph or obtain the corresponding spiritual object, you basically have completely cut off hope.

Without the above conditions, if an innate martial artist wants to reach the third realm and break through to the great grandmaster, it is simply a fool's dream.

Therefore, the innate second realm is already the limit of a martial artist now.

And these two limits, Lu Yuan has already reached them at this time.

Xianwu has almost reached the limit of normal people in the world, and his strength is terrifying, which is beyond the imagination of most people in the world.

Because now, whether it is in the immortal cultivation world or in the rivers and lakes, there is no similar situation that can be compared.

In the years before that, there may have been the same immortal and martial dual cultivators, but it has been too long since this month, except for the one or twenty thousand that can be glimpsed in the classic records, there is no clear impression.

It was just that he couldn't find a reference, so Lu Yuan didn't know how strong he was at this time.

It's just that I can vaguely feel that I have the blessing of martial arts cultivation. The strength should be two or three percent stronger than that of a monk under the same realm of mana.

That's not much, it's not too little.

If the other monks had the help of magic weapons, they could easily close the gap.

And it can be passed down to this day, the major immortal sects in Kyushu, Buddhism and other immortal cultivation forces, Lu Yuan doesn't believe in the other party, and he doesn't have one or two magic weapons.

It is precisely because of this jealousy that even if his cultivation is already comparable to that of the major immortal sect masters, he has never had the idea of beating the other party's idea.

For Lu Yuan, even if he robbed an immortal gate, the harvest would actually be like that.

He doesn't need the Immortal Gate Spirit Land, he can also rely on the Qi Luck Heavenly Pillar to cultivate immortals, and the effect is even better.

And with the current situation in the immortal cultivation realm, it is not enough for each monk to accumulate a trace of mana and use it to improve his cultivation!

Who will be full of food and have nothing to do, and run to fight people to the death?

Relying on the blessing of the world of the end of the law, the monks in the immortal cultivation world now have an unexpectedly "peaceful" personality.

You don't see it, even Danding Dao, who was severely offended by Lu Yuan and cheated a lot, didn't he have any revenge until this time?

On the contrary, Lu Yuan, who was deeply delusional and persecuted, in order to strengthen his strength, used spells several times before and after, so that the mana that he had cultivated in his body for a long time was consumed a lot, which was quite wasteful.

Therefore, in this "peaceful" environment, as long as Lu Yuan does not go to the major immortal gates to make trouble, then after confirming that he has enough strength, after weighing the pros and cons, the major immortal gates will basically not come to him for trouble.

The threat at the level of immortal cultivation has now been alleviated to the greatest extent.

Although it can be completely filter-free, at least it can be said to be too peaceful and worry-free.

In this case, Lu Yuan naturally didn't have any urgent needs, to find any magic weapons, or to refine magic weapons.

For him, the spells and martial arts he has mastered now are enough to protect himself, and he is proud of the world.

In the future, even if you want to refine or find magic weapons, you have to wait until you dominate a state and become the overlord of the world.

Now, there is no need for this, and there is no such thought.

To sum up, Lu Yuan, who had already mastered the two limits of immortal martial arts, was basically in the decision of force in this world before he did not use this or another unconventional weapon.

Compared to him, the other Immortal Sect Dao Masters probably didn't have any advantage.

And the Immortal Sect Daoist is a figure who can deter the hegemony of the world.

If one man is against one country, they are the ones who are speaking.

Lu Yuan mastered this level of force, and at this time, he killed Zhao Changqing in one face, which was actually not so shocking.

The reason why everyone in the two armies was so shocked at this time was mainly because they didn't know what level of character Lu Yuan was and what kind of terrible force he had, so he had this kind of fuss.

If it were to change the Dao masters of the Great Immortal Sect, then the people of the world would not be so surprised, but would take it for granted.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the innate grandmaster is powerful, like a god and a demon.

But the so-called gods and demons are just adjectives.

When tens of thousands of elite troops are gathered, they can still confront the Innate Grandmaster head-on.

But if you are a monk who has gathered a united spirit, even if you gather ten thousand troops, it will be difficult to resist.

It's like the swamp technique that Lu Yuan mastered after condensing his qi.

When this technique is performed, it can turn a radius of 100 zhang into a swamp.

This range can basically cover half of the tens of thousands of Nanzhao army arrays in front.

In other words, as soon as Lu Yuan used this technique, he could destroy two or three thousand ordinary soldiers in an instant.

And with a spell like this, if his mana is full, he can use it three times.

Actually, though, this spell doesn't need to be used three times.

It only takes one time to instantly break through the psychological defenses of any strong army.

Even the Chu army is no exception.

Because in a sense, it is already equivalent to a natural disaster.

How can manpower resist natural disasters?

And the monks who can master the power of this natural calamity, for those mortals, are naturally immortals.

Isn't it logical for immortals to kill one or two congenitals, no doubt?

If you can't kill it, that's weird.

Therefore, it was the mistakes of past impressions and cognitions that caused Lu Yuan to kill Zhao Changqing in an instant, which brought such a huge shock.

When his deeds gradually become known to everyone, and the people of the world study and understand him further deepen, the same situation will not occur.

Of course, in addition to my strength being too strong, this Zhao Changqing is exceptionally weak, which is also a reason. ’

Lu Yuan glanced at Zhao Changqing's corpse not far away, this guy who had just broken through the innate for less than two years, he didn't even understand his own martial arts body, and his control was extremely low.

And I don't know if it's because of the closure of the southwestern Zhuyi, the innate grandmasters in these regions are a little worse than the innate grandmasters of the Kyushu countries that occupy the mainstream.

The most obvious thing is the roughness of the outer body of the martial arts.

Whether it was the previous Great Witch Sacrifice or Zhao Changqing, the condensed martial arts outer body was a little worse than the other grandmasters Lu Yuan had seen.

"Maybe that's why this guy died so simply. Otherwise, as an innate grandmaster, no matter how much I can struggle twice, I will be able to make one or two moves in my hands. ”

Lu Yuan shook his head, retracted his gaze, and turned his attention back to the Nanzhao army in front.

At this time, after such a hard time, the number of Nanzhao troops who collapsed and fled has increased greatly.

There were even cases where entire groups of soldiers fled in some areas.

In the face of this trend, even if some generals of the Southern Zhao Army stopped and blocked it, it was already difficult to recover the decline.

Taking advantage of this great opportunity, it is time to break the enemy in one fell swoop.

"All the armies obey the order and kill with the lonely king!"

Lu Yuan pulled out the sword at his waist, slowly raised it above his head, and then waved the reins of the horse, and the horse jumped, killing it first.

Behind him, tens of thousands of Chu army vanguards, who had long been unable to hold back, were no longer bound by military discipline and suddenly released themselves.

Under the command of one general after another, he yelled and followed his king, lined up one army after another, and pressed over with a rainbow of momentum.

There was also the personal guard cavalry, followed Lu Yuan, who had turned into an arrow, drove the war horses one by one, and rushed into the Nanzhao army.

And this charge completely became the last straw that crushed the Nanzhao army.

Especially in the face of Lu Yuan, the god and demon in their eyes, looking at the terrifying flames surrounding the demon, and watching the companions around him turn into ashes when they were touched by the flames.

You don't even need to touch it, just get closer, and you are instantly scorched and ignited by the terrible temperature emitted by the flames.

Those soldiers of the Southern Zhao Army could no longer stand it.

Without the Innate Grandmaster, in the face of Lu Yuan's super-standard combat power, they were powerless to resist at all.

In this situation of losing the morale of the army, just a rush, like a pile of building blocks, collapsed and collapsed in an instant.

Of course.

Among the hosts, there will be brave men.

There are also some guys who can't accept reality, or are too loyal to Zhao Changqing, such as the Nanzhao veteran Hua Kaiyun.

He already knew that the eldest prince was killed in battle, and knew that he had no way to retreat, and the Nanzhao army had no way to retreat, waiting for the end of himself and his army, only after death, at this time he frantically led the soldiers towards Lu Yuan, wanting to avenge the main general.

These people flocked to the city, adding up to more than 100 people.

This number of people is naturally nothing to Lu Yuan.

The Nanzhao army that rushed towards Lu Yuan just waved a Chiyang True Fire, and it was burned into ashes in an instant.

Except for stopping him for a moment, it didn't have any effect at all.

And after these small troubles solved with a wave of his hand, there is no enemy left in front of him who has the courage to stop him.

Lu Yuan waved his whip, and the horse leaped forward, and its four hooves fell to the ground, splashing a puff of dust.

Looking ahead, there was no more enemy.

Looking back behind him, a huge Nanzhao army formation had been hollowed out by him in one fell swoop.

Countless Chu soldiers swarmed in, waving their blades in their hands, chasing after the Nanzhao soldiers who had lost their courage and were crying and fleeing for their lives in all directions.

Seeing this, he wiped the little smoke and dust on his face when he was impacted just now, and showed a smile.

On June 11 of the sixth year of Shenwu, Lu Yuan, the king of Chu, led the army to arrive at the city of Nanchong, and on the same day he met the Nanzhao army in the southern suburbs outside the city, and invited the enemy Zhao Changqing, the prince of Nanzhao, to fight before the battle.

Zhao Changqing responded, and was beheaded by the king of Chu in front of the ten thousand armies.

Then the king of Chu led his army to charge the enemy's formation, breaking the Nanzhao army in one fell swoop, and then swept the enemy camp.

In one day, it was broken.

In this battle, more than 10,000 enemies were killed, more than 30,000 were captured, tens of thousands of Nanzhao enemy troops in Nanchong Mansion were wiped out, and the siege of Nanchong was lifted.

In the next few days, the rest of the armies came one after another, all of which broke the Nanzhao enemy army in Xichuan, and more than 100,000 Nanzhao troops were wiped out.

At this point, Nishikawa was decided.
