There is a famous saying in the army: "The general is the soul of the army." "Many wars in the previous dynasties have shown that a general's force and resourcefulness often directly determine the success or failure of the war, and the life and death of the soldiers.

However, if this sentence is put into the battle of the Nanhai County soldiers to suppress bandits, I am afraid that it will be changed to "The mage is the courage of the three armies". In this battle of more than 100 people, the mana of these warlocks on both sides was high, and it directly affected the situation of the battle.

So, when the angry Li Yangya roamed the battlefield like the reincarnated god of fire, these officers and soldiers of Nanhai County, who were originally full of honor, had no choice but to abandon all their dignity and flee in the clamor of the mountain bandits. There was only one thought in the hearts of all the county soldiers: they could run as fast as they could, as far as they could, and as far away from that fire spirit killing god as possible!

So, Bao Chuxiong took his subordinates and fled for three or four miles like a lost dog, until he met this majestic and proud golden-armored god. When they were forced to get closer by the chasing soldiers, these dejected county soldiers found out that this "immortal" covered in golden light was none other than the master of the Shangqing Palace who had drawn a fire amulet for them before, Zhang Xingyan!

It was only at this time that many people remembered that in the battle just now, it seemed that they had never seen this little Taoist priest of the Shangqing Palace. However, for these people, it is not time to think about the cause and effect now, as long as they know that the people on their own side can become-looking at the divine light in their eyes, these county soldiers who fled in the wilderness gradually settled down, and unconsciously slowed down the pace of escape and began to gather the formation.

After a while, these defeated soldiers of Nanhai County, who were originally scattered, were already lined up behind Xingyan. The long-standing golden flag of the water blue bird was also raised again, fluttering majestically behind the current main general.

There is a reason why these defeated soldiers who fled can regroup so quickly. Although these county soldiers are armed with swords and armor, they are actually ordinary people. For them, Ping Yue can only get in touch with some strange things from the little tricks of witches and gods in the market, and they can only be regarded as a little bit of knowledge. It was only in these two days that I saw the wonderful Taoism of these mages and warlocks with my own eyes, and I knew for the first time that there were really people similar to immortals in this world.

So, after sorting out all the unthinkable things in these two days, these officers and men came to a conclusion:

A mage who can shine and fire on his body is truly powerful!

Now look at this master of the Sihai Hall of the Shangqing Palace, it is the glow of the ten thousand ways, the thousand rays of ruiqi, not the legendary immortal Xia Rui or what?!

Immediately, these county soldiers were bold and bold, and rekindled the hope of fighting hard - seeing the situation of the two strange people and the bandits of Dafeng Village chasing after each other, only by letting go could they pick up their lives and go back. What's more, now that I have found a backer who seems to be quite solid, I have to fight with those demon bandits!

However, for the young man's morale-boosting Xia Cai, Sheng Hengtang, who was supported by a soldier, looked shocked, and seemed to be unable to believe what he saw:

"Shangqing Palace's secret technique 'Great Light Shield'?"

"Where did he go just now?"

Thinking about the performance of this Shangqing Palace Master in the two days, Sheng Hengtang felt more and more that this modest young man was unfathomable.

Of course, Sheng Hengtang's last question is very easy to answer. Wake up just now, naturally hiding in a secluded place to play the Divine Comedy-

Picking up the Shenxue jade flute, this humble young man is like a different person, solemn and clean, with a radiant and elegant look, and it seems that the whole person is integrated with this crystal and round jade flute.

With a slight thought, the Taihua Dao power, which was usually hidden, immediately circulated throughout the body.

The "feng shui guide" of flowing water and clouds and rain begins to change, and in a blink of an eye, it is already full of haze, clouds are like ink, and the sky is full of clouds and rain. Before the attracted Tianshui fell, he had already taken advantage of the situation to play the four blasphemy spells "Water Dragon Yin".

In an instant, the heavens and the earth were stirred, thunder and earthquakes, and rain poured into it.

Where the sound of the dragon roared and flew up, the young man who stood proudly in the pouring rain seemed to have completely forgotten where he was, and was unaware of the upheaval in the world around him. In a trance, Xingyan seemed to feel that he had turned into a pale dragon, swinging his head and tail in the inky clouds, destroying the wind and clouds for thousands of miles, carrying thunder and thunder, rain and clouds, clouds and rain, one after another, as if the entire Qiankun world, only his own scales and claws were flying......

Just when he was in a trance, as if chasing the clouds and lightning in the vast sky with the sound of this majestic flute, and running across the thunder, he suddenly saw the thousands of miles of clouds below him, suddenly cracking a big mouth, rushing out of a powerful gravitational force, sucking his huge scales into the crack!

Suddenly attacked, the boy suddenly fell asleep and remembered where he was. It's just that although the illusion of the divine dragon in the clouds has disappeared, the black giant mouth that is trying to devour itself is still as clear as before!

"Oh no! Taihua Dao is doing his best!"

A teenager who had had an experience immediately understood his current situation. The Taihua Dao power, which was originally evenly circulated in the body, now seemed to be out of his control, and all of them rushed towards the glowing jade flute, transforming into a terrifying water dragon roar.

"Could it be that this water dragon must be played every time?"

Xingyan seemed to have seen the helpless wry smile on his face. In the roar, his entire body seemed to have turned into a helpless autumn leaf, fluttering, getting closer and closer to the huge mouth. At this moment, it seemed that the entire world around him had disappeared, leaving only boundless darkness. In the thick ink, Xingyan seemed to have seen one poisonous eye after another, and heard a terrible ghost cry......

"I'm falling into the Nine Shadows, right?"

The sharp tearing pain from all over his body made Lingtai retain a rare sense of sobriety. But after this thought, he could no longer spell out a complete word in his heart, and his whole mind and soul were gradually being obliterated by the miserable darkness......

The boy who successfully saved the bandit soldiers from the tragic disaster of burning himself fell into a situation from which he could never recover. And Xiao Qiongwei, who was concentrating on guarding his brother in the pouring rain beside him, had no idea of the disaster that was happening in front of him.

Just when the body and mind of suffering were about to be extinguished, suddenly, a golden spiritual light swept through the boundless darkness like lightning, tearing apart the chaos that seemed to have been deposited for thousands of years in an instant!

The darkness that imprisoned the soul immediately turned into thousands of broken fragments and flew out in all directions. The boy who is tasting the taste of death is like suddenly stepping out of the claustrophobic iron bucket and returning to the clear world. At this time, in his mind, he could no longer feel what was light and what was dark, but only felt a kind smile like the sun, which was brilliantly warming his whole body and mind......

After the sunken soul was saved, Xingyan came to his senses and remembered all the things that had happened in the moment:

Just as the strange golden aura flashed in his heart, a familiar force rushed from behind, bubbling into his already empty body like a tidal wave, and at the same time, the "water dragon chant" that seemed to be unstoppable also abruptly stopped.

Not only that, but just as this abundant Dao power poured into his body like a stream, vaguely, Xingyan seemed to feel the "thought" of the source of this flowing water!

The strange feeling was indescribable, but his intuition told him that it was anything but extraordinary, and the swift boy immediately extinguished all mundane thoughts, and only sat there silently contemplating, clinging to the subtle sensation that seemed fleeting.

Such a wonderful communication until the foreign Taihua Dao power no longer poured in.

"This is what Qingming's predecessors called 'induction'?"

As soon as he thought that he might have glimpsed some of the true tricks of "sword control", he was excited!

"What a sword!"

Now he knew very well that because of this divine sword, the "Cultivation Spirit" stage could be omitted. And the transfer of Taihua Dao power just now seemed to let him see through a little bit of "induction". So, Xingyan began to recall the benefits of this strange sword.

"Ha! Zhang Chaofeng of the Green Worm House really has a time when he doesn't know the goods!"

"But...... Seems like me too. Heh~"

"Brother, what are you laughing at? Don't you play the flute?"

Now that the rain has stopped, Xiao Qiongwei, who has been busy splitting the rain pillars, is no longer able to find a chopping target. At this time, she realized that her brother's continuous music had been played, and there was still a bright smile on his face, so she looked up and asked curiously.

"Heh~ I suddenly thought of a very funny thing - I'll tell you when I get back! I don't play the flute anymore, it's over. ”

"Well, I'm just done!"

"Uh? What are you going to do?"

"I'm practicing swordsmanship! ”

"Oh, that's right. Joan Wei is really good. Let's go fight the villains now!"

Wake up and don't worry about the battle situation over there.

"Okay!"

"Then let's get on the horse!"

Just when Xingyan began to move, he was extremely depressed to find that he was now sore and weak, and it was simply impossible to move an inch!

I think it should be a genius's divine comedy, and I consumed all my energy.

In the end, it was still under the desperate support of Xiao Qiongwei's slender shoulders that the mage, who had just called for wind and rain, barely rubbed on the horse's back. Seeing that her brother got on the horse, Qiong Wei also dragged the horse's tail and jumped behind her brother.

"I told the white horse to go slowly, and I guess when I reached the col I would be able to recover my strength. ”

"Drive!"

Having made up his mind, the knight with all his strength took the reins of his horse, shouted and prepared to ride his horse forward slowly.

Who knows, now not only is he weak, but the white horse flying snow under his crotch also seems to be weak on all fours, and it is difficult to move forward; now it is no longer a question of how fast or slow he is advancing, but simply struggling!

Seeing this situation, Xing Yan remembered that the water dragon chant that shocked all beasts just now also played a big role in dealing with this divine horse.

"'Kill yourself', do you just say I'm like this?"

The white horse, which took three steps forward and two steps back, carried the cranky boy like a snail towards the Huoyun Mountain Col, which was shouting and killing......

In this trip, which was less than five or six zhang away, Xingyan witnessed the entire process of Li Yangya's intervention in the battle of the county soldiers and bandits:

I saw him rushing down from the top of Huoyun Mountain like a fire god descending from the sky, and then disappeared into the Huoyun Mountain Col like a meteor. Then, he saw the battlefield in the distance, which had only been emitting some green smoke, suddenly burst into flames. Soon he heard the screams coming from the wind thicker and the fire more vigorous.

Needless to say, the situation of the county soldiers must be not good now.

"That's it, now I can only try my Taihua version of 'Soul Eater'. ”

The suspected soul-devouring technique that saved his life twice is now the only skill that a powerless young man can rely on.

"Brother Ma, can you hurry up any longer?"

The boy on the saddle bridge was anxious.

It's a pity that before he arrived at the battlefield, he had already waited for the rout of the officers and soldiers. Now directly in front of him, a group of embarrassed officers and soldiers, dragging spears and halberds, rushed towards him like a swarm of headless flies.

"Well, it seems that the tide is turning. ”

The number of defeated soldiers in this group is only about 100 people, not even half of the original number, and it seems that the casualties are quite heavy.

The young man, who was annoyed that he could not do anything, suddenly thought of an imminent crisis, and hurriedly shouted:

"Qiong Wei, get off the horse quickly! just run backwards, don't be trampled down!"

"Hmm!"

There was a sudden loosening of her back, and the little girl had slipped off her horse, and the young man who had been leaning on her almost fell backwards.

After straightening his body slightly, he drove Taihua Dao Li to launch the "Xu Yao Xuan Hua Jue" in advance, which was originally only used for disguise, and covered his entire body with a layer of light.

In addition to performing the spell, the young hall master of the Shangqing Palace did not forget to shout loudly:

"Gentlemen, be careful, don't bump into it!"

It is this very thing that Awakening is worried about. If the defeated army, which was pursued by the mountain bandits, ran into this horse, not only might he fall on his back, but these county soldiers would probably fall one after another.

It's just that what Xingyan didn't expect was that the light technique he used as an instruction in a hurry brought unexpected results:

The abundant Taihua Dao power made the thousands of flames of this Xu Yao Xuanhua Jue amazing, and even made this group of deserters regain their fighting spirit, and after waking up to this white horse with soft hooves, they regrouped into a formation.

And those mountain bandits who were busy chasing had almost the same judgment, and after being stunned by the light flames, these bandits began to avoid behind Li Yangya, who was also wearing flame seedlings. And their leader, the Golden Retriever Tiger Jiao Wang, no longer has this opportunity:

Unlike those county soldiers, Xingyan was naturally unceremonious to this guy who rushed to the front, and raising his hand was an "ice heart knot", which instantly froze him to the ground!

Now, the bandits are taking Xingyan and Li Yangya as the dividing line, and a large field is vacant in the middle, and only a few unlucky mountain bandits are lying horizontally.

Looking at the posture in front of him, Xing Yan immediately understood his role at this moment -- now he was the chief general of the confrontation between the two armies and the backbone of the Nanhai County army! In such a situation, suggestions such as "Why don't we continue to escape?" is absolutely inappropriate to say.

In any case, he must stand up to this now.

Bao Chuxiong, the county lieutenant who was not lightly injured, had already limped close with the support of his own soldiers, and told Xingyan about the general situation in the defeat just now. Although it was only a few short sentences, it could already make the young man imagine the tragedy of the battle just now.

"Today, if you want the remnants of the South China Sea to go back alive, you must defeat this powerful character!"

Xingyan has understood that the red-haired sect master on the other side is the key to this war.

Immediately, the temporary commander-in-chief, who had made up his mind, shouted at the opposite side:

"Well, you wicked man, why do you want to help bandits do evil?"

"Hmph, why do you want to rob while the fire is on?!"

Li Yangya, who replied, stared at the lifelike Vermilion Bird pattern on the flag behind Xingyan, and his eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames!

"Uh, does this person know that I am secretly helping the officers and soldiers with a water dragon?

I admired it in my heart, but I didn't know how to answer it in my mouth. And the red-haired and white-faced leopard rider on the opposite side was silent for a while, only looking coldly here.

When he was a little embarrassed, Xingyan was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that the strength in his body did not know when to regain it!

Now he only felt that his body was full of energy, as if he had just woken up from a sound sleep. In addition to moving my hands and feet, I can't help but have some doubts in my heart:

"Could it be that the sword is helping again?"

When the two armies clashed, they didn't have time to think about the reason for it for a while, but now that they had recovered all their strength, they felt that they were a little more sure and more courageous, and they opened their mouths and shouted at the opposite side:

"Why don't you come to fight!"

If it weren't for the weakness of the horse under his crotch, he would have urged the horse to rush forward, and now he had to wait for the strange man to take the initiative to attack.

"Master of the door, watch out for that trick!"

Seeing the person on the opposite side suddenly dancing with his hands, the giant man Mo Chi'an immediately felt a tingling in his scalp, and hurriedly reminded the door master to be careful.

"Hmph, of course I won't be fooled!"

Now the muffled thunder in the sky overhead, still rolling tirelessly, is like a war drum urging a strike in the ears of the awakening words.

"Then let's strike!"

I just walked through the ghost gate a moment ago, and I really feel like I'm putting life and death aside now.

Just when he was about to raise his hand to draw the sword, he suddenly heard a clear whistle, and before he could react, the sword in the sheath behind his back had already crossed a sharp arc in the air, and the hilt of the sword was placed in the hand of the stunned young man!

Looking at this scene, there was a chilling silence over there, and the morale of this side soared, and the strong yang teeth that stood out in front of the formation were even more secretly vigilant.

"Huh, can I now communicate with this sword?"

Although I was pleasantly surprised, I didn't dare to continue to test any flying sword skills at this time, and at this critical moment, it was better to hold the sword firmly in the palm of my hand!

Under everyone's nervous gaze, the young man who saw the sword in his hand said without looking back:

"Qiong Wei, you're still behind the horse, right?"

"Hee ......"

There was an awkward laugh from behind.

"Then you can help me stab me in the horse stock now, and then get out of the way. ”

"Good!"

This little girl listened to her brother's instructions, and immediately executed it without hesitation, raised her hand and waved a shining short blade, and poked at the upper part of the horse's hind legs-

Hearing a neighing cry, the white horse, which was bleeding from the back, immediately jumped forward.

This weak war horse, which was barely impacting, rushed to a distance of more than two feet from Li Yangya, and finally tripped over the body of the unconscious bandit under his feet, and fell sideways into the dust after a wail.

Just when Xiao Qiongwei covered her mouth and exclaimed when she saw this, she saw that her cousin brother had already risen to the sky before the white horse fell to the ground, and with the inertia of the galloping horse, he flew towards the fierce yang tooth in mid-air, just like an eagle falcon pounced on its prey.

This was the first time that a teenager had taken the initiative to attack such a formidable enemy, and he had no idea whether he would win or lose, live or die.

However, even such a reckless attack as if he were at home, he was not willing to be sent to death so easily, and at this moment of life and death, he no longer had to ask for it, and instinctively used his most skillful and powerful spell to run his whole body—

The mighty Taihua Dao power is vibrating the whole body, and the whole person's mind has also entered the state of "having a heart and doing nothing".

So, in the midst of all the bated breath in this wilderness, the person who was covered in flames was now like a whimsical man, flying in the air, flying without wings, rushing forward, and the ancient sword raised high was glowing with a strange divine light, and seemed to be roaring excitedly.

At this moment, the thunder, the lightning, and the low haze seemed to have been forgotten, and in the whole heaven and earth, it seemed that only this man, this sword, and this brilliant divine light remained.

And the person pointed to by this sword light found that there seemed to be a big mountain flying towards him in front of him, and there was no place to avoid it!

Frightened, Li Yangya hurriedly threw the sword in his hand forward, intending to block it-

"Phew"

With only a slight sound, this flaming sword that was still raging in the array of officers and soldiers just now was like a piece of rotten wood that had been blown by a raging mountain torrent, and was gently cut into two pieces by the ancient sword that shone with electric light, leaving two flames on the ground. The sword, however, seemed to be unaffected, still leaning back proudly above the boy, as if he had to wait patiently until the actual slash before falling gracefully.

Nothing can stand in the way.

Just less than two feet away, this always strong leader of the First Sect, Li Yangya, seems to have experienced a long period of dark depression.

Just when the blurry sword light was about to reach him, this fierce sect master, who was like a Dire, finally had time to fly away from the leopard rider under his crotch and fled towards the back.

"Click!"

As the ancient sword in the young man's hand fell, a lightning bolt that seemed to have been waiting for a long time, carrying a violent thunderclap, suddenly flashed his figure of dancing claws at the place where the sword light fell. The dazzling shape of the dragon and snake penetrated the sky and the earth, making it impossible to see whether this suddenly shining purple electric light fell from the Nine Heavens Divine Mansion or ascended from the Hell Netherworld......

When his eyes recovered, which were blinded by the bright light, he found that the fierce leopard rider with a hideous face was now gone.

In the air, a strange black rain was falling......
