The sky was dark, occasional thunderclouds floated in the air, and the moonlight revealed the hazy clouds and scattered a halo of light. Looking at the gurgling water, going south to the south, Qin Tiancang stood on the west bank, stroking the blackened bridge piers, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl. Across the river is the border of Yundu, but the river is rising, and the pontoon bridge was burned down early.

Qin Tiancang sent 20,000 troops all the way out of Hengyang City, and 20,000 elite soldiers were stationed in Yeyue City. Most of the 20,000 elite soldiers are the soldiers of the headquarters, and there is a vanguard battalion of about 200 people, each of whom controls a moon lice, or a group of three or five, or a group of six or seven people, patrolling and exploring the posts in the air, with strict military discipline and strict laws, this elite vanguard is the moon lice army secretly formed by Rizhao in recent years, in order to resist the people who cultivate the fate of Yundu, and this army is only subject to Qin Tiancang's dispatch.

Stroking the blackened bridge piers, the water of the Chen River in front of him was turbulent, and Qin Tiancang looked a little disappointed. Tonight, the moon is hazy, the fog on the water surface does not disperse, it is a good time to march and fight quietly, but I didn't expect the pontoon bridge to be burned down, and the army was blocked by the Chen River in front of it.

It seems that someone in the cloud capital has already noticed it, but my tens of thousands of horses are already ready to fly, how can I retreat when the moon is full?

Qin Tiancang pointed to the misty city wall on the other side of the Chen River and asked, "Should there be a letter in the city?"

A man in armor in the Moon Lice Pioneer Camp stepped forward, his name was Cui Shang, and he served as a guard in the Pioneer Camp. The moon lice that Cui Shang rode on had dark skin and deep eyes, like a faint ghost fire in the dark night.

He fell on his knees and said, "No letter has come." ”

"How can this be reasonable, but not to report the situation in the city within the agreed deadline, is a change of mind halfway. ”

"Your Majesty, if there is no news in the city, I am afraid that the city of Yundu has been guarded, how should we enter the army?"

"My army has marched into Yeyue City, facing each other across the bank from Yundu, and God has blessed it, and the fog on the Chen River is covered, this is the time to use troops, and you must not retreat. ”

"It's just..."

"It's just what, Benjun has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and there is a legion of moon lice to help, Yundu soldiers and horses are tired of fighting in Yushan Mountain, as long as they break through the West Gate, and then find a way to deal with the five thousand soldiers and horses in the city, they will definitely be able to conquer Yundu within three days. ”

"Your Majesty, there is only one person who Weichen is worried about. ”

"Speak!"

"Now the only person who can stop our army must be the deacon of Yundu Jiali Temple, there is no shortage of Dao, it is rumored that this person's cultivation has reached the unparalleled 'Heavenly Ribbon' realm, and there is a cultivation of seizing heaven and earth, melting the essence of the sun and the moon, if this person comes to resist the enemy, how can it be good?"

"What is the fear of a mere immortal cultivator? Could it be that my 20,000 horses are not enough to reach an extreme Dao?"

"Your lord's words are wrong, you must know that in the battle of Yeyue City twenty years ago, thousands of people and horses in Yundu fought with my 30,000 army in battle without falling behind, especially Situ Hongyuan's cronies and guards were even more like entering a no-man's land, not only smashed our army's camp, but also kidnapped General Chu Shiguo as a hostage to force the army to retreat, their cultivation is far less than today's extreme Dao, the king should still be careful. ”

Qin Tiancang snorted coldly, his face was gloomy, "Xiu Dao is an extreme way, even if he Yelu Jinyun and Situ Hongyuan come together, how can he endure this monarch?" ”

"Yes!"

Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of breaking wind in the sky, and a sentinel riding a moon lice landed in front of Qin Tiancang.

The sentinel knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Excellency, someone was found cutting wood in the dense forest on Erli Road north of the other bank. ”

"Oh, how many people are there?"

"Not a single soldier was seen. ”

Cui Shangshang said: "There is a fence in the dense forest, I am afraid that there will be ambushes, so you must not rush into the army." ”

Suddenly, another moon lice swept through the sky, but his body was unstable when flying, and he stumbled and fell on the open space of the camp, Qin Tiancang was shocked, and hurriedly led the crowd to rush forward, and found that it was another sentinel officer, only to see that he was dressed in rags, as if he had just been burned by the fire, and the moon lice riding under him fell to the ground after landing, and the skin and flesh on his body turned out, showing a charred black color.

The sentinel's face was haggard, his lips were chapped, and when he saw Qin Tiancang, he only opened and closed his lips slightly, and he couldn't say all the words in his mouth.

Qin Tiancang bent over to check his injuries, and as soon as he touched his body, he felt a scorching aura. As the monarch of Rizhao, he is naturally well-informed, and his face immediately changed greatly: "What he is in is the Blazing Flying Phoenix." ”

When everyone heard the move of 'Blazing Flying Phoenix', they immediately started to talk about it, but Cui Shang personally stepped forward and verified it again before slowly saying: "Yes, the injury suffered by the outpost is caused by the Blazing Flying Phoenix, this is the famous stunt of the Burning Incense Pavilion of Yundu Jiali Temple to patrol the Zuo Tian'an, but this Zuo Tian'an died in the middle of the month, who can steal his move?"

Qin Tiancang's eyebrows tightened, and he said in a low voice: "Carry him down to treat his injuries first." After a pause, he turned his head to face Cui Shang, who understood and hurriedly leaned over to obey the order.

"Where he was wounded, send someone to see it at once! No, I want you to go there yourself! Go and return quickly!"

"Naturally, it's better to go in person. ”

After Cui Shang received the order, he led the soldiers of the four pioneer battalions to fly to the opposite bank. Under the shadow of the moon, the fog was heavy, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction above the dense forest, but Cui Shang led the way in front, and the four guards followed closely on the left and right.

The farther he flew, the more secluded he became, and when he suddenly reached a certain place, Cui Shang waved his hand back, and the people behind him all stopped holding the moon lice.

Everyone dispersed carefully, and there was a faint murderous aura in the forest below. ”

The four guards lined up in the air, and Cui Shang's hand holding the reins tightened, and then circled around the sky above the dense forest, urging the moon lice to fall.

The five people landed in a clearing one after another, the moon lice squatted around, the moonlight was scattered dottedly, there was no wind in the forest, but seeing the leaves swinging violently, the five people immediately stared back to back vigilantly at the movements around them.

"Giggle..."

Cui Shang's moon lice's mouth suddenly cried, and everyone took out their weapons and aimed at the dark place pointed by the moon lice, everything was too quiet, Cui Shang swallowed his saliva, and felt a slight numbness in the tiger's mouth.

After a confrontation out of thin air, after waiting for a long time, a figure slowly appeared in the shadows, the blue brocade shirt on this person was slightly pale in the moonlight, the hem and belt hung down straight, his eyes were deep, and the eyebrow bones cast a huge shadow to cover the facial features tightly, just from the outline of the cheekbones, you can know that there is a handsome man in front of him.

He walked without a trace of dust, and silently approached the five men, all of whom were ready to defend themselves against the enemy, while the moon lice they carried puffed out their eyes, their forequarters sank, and the wings on their backs were raised like arrows on a bowstring.

Cui Shang looked at him angrily, lowered his voice and asked, "Who are you?

The comer's slender lips moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised a slightly contemptuous smile, and Cui Shang felt a gloomy voice echo in the bushes.

"The deity is also worried that he will die, and if he dies, there will be no one to tell you. ”

"If you really did it, then do you know which country's soldiers were injured?"

"Hmph, we Yundu people have always shown no mercy to invading foreign races. ”

Cui Shang thought to himself: Sure enough, he is a person who cultivates in Yundu, but this method of hurting people may not be too vicious.

"Is there any misunderstanding, we are not invading sergeants. ”

"Dare to quibble, wait for Chen Bing to be a soldier, and the crotch is a bloodthirsty beast, and here late at night, what is it if it is not an invasion?"

"We were invited by Yelu Jinyun, the monarch of Yundu, to solve the danger of Yushan Mountain, and why did we injure our soldiers. ”

"Yundu is full of people, why do you need to rescue it, besides, I have already seen through the plan of 'destroying the enemy by false means', so if you know it, go and tell Qin Tiancang to let him withdraw his troops quickly, otherwise don't blame the deity for killing tonight." ”

"You dare to speak out against the rats who hide their heads and tails!

Cui Shang had an axe behind him, and he couldn't bear it anymore and single-handedly attacked the man in blue, Cui Shang intended to stop it, but he also wanted to try the reality of the man in blue, so he let him go.

The man in blue smiled contemptuously, his hand secretly gathered qi, and in a moment it was extremely hot, as if there was a raging flame leaping on the tips of his fingers, and the surrounding scenery was instantly illuminated red.

Cui Shang's color suddenly changed when he saw it, and he shouted, "Be careful!"

The person holding the axe did not lose his sharpness at all, his body leaped, and a move 'disemboweling axe' directly took the eyebrows of the man in blue, and his momentum sank vigorously, especially the people who practiced the power of the barbarian people, but the disemboweling axe had not yet fallen, but a wave of heat passed through the heart in front of him, and the red light in an instant enveloped everyone, and the mournful cry of the dying bird echoed in the forest. Everyone was forced to open their eyes by the light in the hands of the man in blue, and they all blindfolded their eyes with their hands, only Cui Shang vaguely saw a fiery phoenix penetrating the body of the axe-wielding soldier between his fingers.

"Blazing Flying Phoenix!" Cui Shang couldn't help but shout, and everyone changed color when they heard it, only the moon lice holding the axe soldier did not show fear, and jumped forward to block the man in blue, and the afterglow of the red flame flying phoenix touched the moon lice and was extinguished like a stone sinking into the sea.

The moon lice opened its big mouth, and its tongue was sacrificed out of its mouth to attack the man in blue with the power of thunder and lightning, the man in blue frowned, his figure flashed to the side, and he easily dodged the blow of the moon lice, but he couldn't help but complain in his mouth: "I almost forgot that there is this beast!" and condensed the true yuan in his left hand, and a golden undercurrent appeared on his fingertips.

Seeing that a move was missed, the moon lice rose into the air, waving its wings, causing a strong wind in the forest, and the leaves were blown down like flying needles to shoot at the man in blue. Cui Shang saw that the moon lice of the axe-wielding soldier could not hit the target, so he secretly used the technique of repelling, and the rattan whip on his body flew towards the man in blue. The man in blue seemed defenseless, standing indifferent, and was bound by a rattan whip.

The other three couldn't help but applaud when they saw Cui Shang tie up the man in blue as soon as he made a move, but Cui Shang's palms were sweating, and he felt that it was incredible that he could tie up the man in blue.

Seeing that the man in blue was bound and unwilling to lose the opportunity to avenge his master, the moon lice who held the axe opened his mouth again and sacrificed his tongue inside, in a vain attempt to kill the man in blue with one blow.

The man in blue saw the opportunity, his left hand was golden, and with just a wave of his hand, a golden sword light was sacrificed, and everyone felt a gust of wind blowing in their faces, and then several trees behind the moon lice fell to the ground with a bang, leaving a smooth and neat incision.

The Moon Lice Beast slammed into the ground, scarlet blood slowly pouring out of its mouth, its wings still fluttering, and its two large eyes seemed to be psychic, revealing an expression of disbelief. The man in blue slowly stroked off the broken rattan whip on his body, his face returned to the original peace, even killing a person and riding could not move him, there was no killing aura around his body, killing but not bloodthirsty, and he could keep the spirit platform sober, and his luck was free, it was clearly a provocation to the remaining four people: the deity was definitely capable of killing you and the others together!

Cui Shang and the others couldn't help but feel frightened when they saw everything happening in front of them, and together with the four moon lice beside them, they also began to tremble, this person actually killed a moon lice with just one move, and it was rare for him to be strong in cultivation. Cui Shang saw the man in blue pacing towards him, so he unconsciously took a step back, and the other three people all surrounded him, and they all took on the posture of defending the enemy, but their eyes were no longer as confident as they were at the beginning.

"Who is Zunjia? Do you want to fight my 20,000-strong army on your own?"

"In the move of Yeyue City back then, more than 2,000 soldiers in my Yundu and 30,000 soldiers and horses in your army have not yet fallen behind, and there are still 3,000 elites in Yundu City, which is enough to fight against your 20,000 horses, not to mention that the Chen River is flooding, and all the pontoon bridges have been burned by me, unless your 20,000 soldiers and horses will fly away. ”

"Zunjia seems to be particularly familiar with the Battle of Yeyue City, don't you know that my Rizhao Kingdom has already deployed the Moon Lice Pioneer Battalion, in order to make Yixue the shame of the year. Now with armor over 10,000 and the clouds across the river, how can there be a reason to retreat without a fight. ”

The man in blue sneered: "The deity will not argue with you in words, now let you go back, you just go back and inform your monarch, the moon lice pioneer camp is like a mustard in the eyes of the deity, if he insists on making a move, the deity will not show mercy." Now it is ugly, there are still three hours before the sky is dawning, in these three hours you can think about whether to enter the army, and then come to the deity to reply, if the time has not withdrawn, the deity will come to rob the camp, regardless of people and animals, all killed, in the camp, no piece of armor left. ”

"This person is too deceitful, Lord Xiaowei, I want to fight to the death with him!" The three guards behind Cui Shang were furious, eager to save the face of the sunshine, and fight to the death with the man in blue, but they were stopped by Cui Shang.

"You are not his opponent, all of them will step down for me!"

Cui Shang stared at the blue-clothed man opposite, silently remembered his appearance in his heart, and then bowed deeply and said, "When I return to the camp to show my monarch, you can wait here for a while." ”

The man in blue said, "Okay, the deity is waiting for you here." ”

Cui Shang gave his subordinates a look, and everyone showed indignation, but they had no choice but to put their crotch on the moon lice, and returned to the camp together.

After everyone was gone, for a long time, the man in blue suddenly fell to his knees as if he had been stripped of his muscles and bones, he supported the ground with one hand, and covered his heart with the other, showing a painful look on his face, but this subtle change was hidden in the misty jungle, and no one noticed.

Let's say that Cui Shang flew back to the camp in Hexi, Qin Tiancang looked from afar and found that five people and five beasts went together, and now only four people and four beasts returned, and he felt bad in his heart, and before the four people landed, he hurriedly greeted them.

"Cui Shang, why is there one person missing, is there an ambush in the forest in Hedong?"

Cui Shang and everyone knelt on the ground, and said with a gloomy expression: "Your Majesty, there is indeed a person wearing a blue brocade robe on the other side, and this person's cultivation is extremely high, and he will kill one of my men with just one face." He also threatened that if he did not withdraw his troops, he would attack our vanguard camp and leave no men or animals behind!"

"Who dares to be so arrogant? You get up and speak first, and tell Yu Benjun about the battle. ”

After Cui Shang got up, he told Qin Tiancang in detail about the meeting with the man in blue, and after hearing this, Qin Tiancang said suspiciously: "You mean that this person killed your sword axe and moon lice with only two moves?"

"That's true, Your Majesty, this person's first move is the famous stunt 'Blazing Flying Phoenix' of the Incense Pavilion of the Jiali Temple, this move took the lives of hundreds of us in the Battle of Yeyue City, so it is not difficult to tell, as for this second move, I have never seen it, he condensed the true yuan with his left hand, and as soon as he raised his hand, a golden light shot out, this move was as fast as lightning, and the attack was fierce, and even the surrounding air was torn open when the golden light swept by. The skin of the moon lice is hard, does not invade water and fire, does not enter the halberd, but this golden mangs can penetrate the body of the moon lice, and the remaining strength can also cut off the trees within a few feet behind the moon lice. ”

"Cui Shang, how can you not know this trick? The person who captured the general of Chu Shiguo used this trick to hit him under the horse, this person was only in his early twenties at the time, his name was Xiao Luo, and he used to vaporize the form, so that he could break the empty knife method with one hand, and cut off the legs of Chu Shiguo's war horse only in the electric light, this person had 'no delusion' cultivation as the foundation at a young age, and then he was promoted to Si Tian of the Golden Sacred Palace of Jiali Temple, and it is expected that this person is now cultivating to a higher level. ”

"What does the king mean is that the person in the forest is the Golden Sacred Palace of Jiali Temple, Si Tian Xiaoluo?"

"No, no, the blue-clothed man you said in your mouth will not only make the Golden Saint Palace Xiao Luo's 'Void Breaking Knife Technique', but also proficient in the 'Blazing Flying Phoenix' on the left Tian'an of the Incense Pavilion. Coupled with the fact that you describe the figure and appearance of the man in blue, I can conclude that this person must be the deacon of the Kali Temple!"

"If it's really him! No wonder this person's cultivation is rare in the world, and he speaks wildly, treating my tens of thousands of soldiers and horses as nothing. ”

"Yes, according to legend, you can jump out of the five elements within the realm of the 'Heavenly Ribbon', do not fall into the cycle of life and death, and can call the wind and rain, drive the power of the five elements, and also have a magnificent book, called the 'Heavenly Ribbon Heart Sutra', which is the treasure of the town temple of the Jiali Temple, and I have only heard of it, and I heard that according to the record in the book to perform the wonderful law, there is the power of swallowing the sky and spitting the earth. This time with you and the others, although you did not use the wonderful method in the Heart Sutra, but you can easily win by simply driving the power of the five elements, it seems that the extreme path is not lacking in cultivation and is unfathomable, and it is really a stumbling block for us to enter the army. ”

"According to the king's wishes, will we withdraw from the army?"

Qin Tiancang looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "I have gathered tens of thousands of elite soldiers here in Rizhao, how can I defeat myself without a fight?

"The king means not to retreat the army, but there is no shortage of extreme ways to threaten that if we do not retreat, they will rob our camp, and with his cultivation, there is no one in our army to be invincible.

"Aha..."Qin Tiancang suddenly laughed wildly: "Cui Xiaowei is too worried, if it is an hour ago, maybe Benjun will order the withdrawal of troops, but when you go to the other side, Yundu should suddenly Feishu come with good news, come and come, follow Benjun into the account, and you will look at this letter." ”

Cui Shang was dazed by Qin Tiancang to hold his arm, walked back to the side of the bookcase in the Chinese military tent, only to see a letterhead placed in the desk, Cui Shang picked up the letterhead and unfolded it, and saw that there were only four sentences written in the letter: Tianshou is against the vein, Yundu City is empty, the army is about to be raised, don't doubt it!
