Chapter 357: The Battle of the Practitioners in the Severed Heaven and Earth (Part II)
Zhao Xing was not idle while retreating after three days of fierce attacks on Min City, Heshui City, and Yuyou City.
He ordered the Shenwei Army, Xuanjia Army, Zhenhai Army, Hujiao Army, and Lieyang Army to leave six groups of practitioners each when retreating, taking turns every day to cast two types of spells outside the three cities.
First was Flying Sand and Moving Stones, and second was Cloud Technique or Fog Technique, deliberately creating a commotion as if they would attack the city again at any time.
Due to the fierce attacks in the previous three days, Zhao Xing and the others had also used the strategy of luring the enemy out of the city, causing the defending generals of Min City, Heshui City, and Yuyou City to only want to defend the city, without any thought of going out to investigate.
If you don't make mistakes, you won't be wrong. As long as you hold the city and prevent the Great Zhou enemy from getting supplies, that is a great merit!
Consequently, when Grand Commander You Yun arrived outside Min City, Heshui City, and Yuyou City with reinforcements, he only found Echo Snails stretching for several miles.
"Neigh~ neigh~"
Inside were the sounds of warhorses neighing and iron forging.
The echo magic array was noisy, but looking at the surrounding marching stoves, no one knew how long they had been cold.
Grand Commander You Yun looked expressionlessly at the Echo Snails and then at the defending generals of Min City, Heshui City, and Yuyou City.
"You said the enemy attacked the city fiercely, as if they wouldn't stop until they broke it. This seat asks the three of you, where is the enemy army?"
The main generals of Min City, Heshui City, and Yuyou City looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Grand Commander You Yun's face began to turn green: "Are you so timid that you don't even have the courage to send someone out of the city to check?!"
"What use does the Royal Court have for you trash?"
The three main generals didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Although they were also regular troops, their ranking was very low, far from being comparable to elites like the Nine Nether Army.
Go out of the city? Risk our lives to go out? We strictly executed the city defense order. How can you blame us if they left? Why don't you blame yourself for supporting too late!
However, such words could naturally not be said, and they only blindly said that the enemy was too cunning, and apologized to the commander.
Commander You Yun took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to hack these three bastards to death.
They didn't even know when the people left, so naturally, they couldn't ask where they went from the mouths of these three pieces of trash.
Thus, Commander You Yun could only inquire through the surrounding garrison cities and dispatched scouts to search.
But strangely, he searched for three days and didn't figure out where Zhao Xing's unit had gone.
It wasn't until the seventh day that he got some clues.
"Grand Commander, the Ten Suns Legion appeared at the northern border of Lanhai Prefecture and Cangzhou Prefecture, located in the area of Tage City and Xueying City."
Commander You Yun frowned: "What are they doing there? Of the two cities, Tage and Xueying, one isn't even a Witch City, and the other is just a 9th-grade small town. What is there for them to plot?"
"Going further northwest, those are two 7th-grade cities. They can't get through. How can they rendezvous with Dong Ze? This is completely looking for... wait, bring the map over."
Grand Commander You Yun seemed to have suddenly thought of something and immediately snatched the map from the adjutant's hand.
Then he saw two ferry crossings on the east half of the Tianshui River: Songshan Ferry and Yangshan Ferry.
Grand Commander You Yun's heart skipped a beat: "They wouldn't have returned to the south of Pin Prefecture, would they?"
Pin Prefecture is actually a large commandery and an important city of Lanhai Prefecture. Fengwu City, Tianshui City, and Xichang City all belong to the south of Pin Prefecture.
"What's the point? Just jumped out of our encirclement, and then turned back. Not good... Fengwu City now only has 1, 00 people under Zang He stationed there. Something big is going to happen!"
"Songshan Ferry and Yangshan Ferry are in the southeast, while Fengwu City, Tianshui City, and Xichang City are in the southwest. But there are no strong garrison troops in this encirclement. If I didn't think he would go back, then others probably didn't either. Now that I've stayed here for so long, something is going to happen to Zang He!"
After realizing Zhao Xing's intention, Grand Commander You Yun felt his scalp tingle.
He didn't expect Zhao Xing to dare to go back and attack Fengwu City again.
He wanted to send someone to send a message to Zang He in Fengwu City, but the other party didn't reply for several hours.
"Quick, go back to Fengwu City!"
Grand Commander You Yun roared.
Fengwu City, City Lord's Mansion.
"Woo-woo—"
The horn of battle sounded, startling Zang He from his sleep.
He pushed away the two Fox-tribe beauties on his body, not even bothering to put on his clothes, and opened the door.
"Someone come!"
"Com-Commander." A personal guard walked in, panicked.
"Who is blowing the horn? Where did the enemy come from?!" Zang He shouted.
"It's, it's the Ten Suns Legion, they have already killed their way into the city!"
"What? Impossible, absolutely impossible! They were at Min City, how could they have come back?!" Zang He couldn't believe it. The Ten Suns Legion could be said to have barely escaped the first encirclement.
They were just a little bit away from being blocked in front of Tianshui City and fighting with their backs to the water. How could they have come back?
Yesterday, he had just finished chatting with Hou Ying, complaining that he wasn't taken along for such encirclement and suppression missions.
I heard that he and the Grand Commander were encircling and suppressing Zhao Xing in the Min City area. This was just after chatting last night, and it wasn't even dawn today, yet they had killed their way to Fengwu City.
"30, 00-strong army, at this distance, even if you drive a 7th-grade warship, you can't get here, let alone where are there warships in the restricted zone?"
Zang He couldn't figure it out, but the shouting outside was real and getting closer, so he began to tremble.
"Follow me and kill them!"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to get out."
In the dark night, a sword light illuminated Zang He's eyes.
"What, you—"
"Boom!"
Zang He immediately let out a low roar, threw the personal guard toward the sword light, and his own blood energy surged as he rushed toward the wall on the other side.
The awkwardness of a martial artist lies here: they cannot burrow into the ground when escaping, and before reaching the Tiangang realm, they cannot even fly into the sky.
"Want to run?! I've been sleeping in the open for these days, just waiting to eat this big piece of fat meat of yours. Where are you running!"
Long Xiao was now 7th-grade, and Zang He was also 7th-grade, but these two, both 7th-grade, were not the same concept at all.
Long Xiao was the number one sword cultivator in Pinghai Prefecture! Zang He's original cultivation base hadn't even reached the 1st grade.
That he didn't die after blocking one sword was all because Zang He exploded before life and death, and Long Xiao had been fighting for a long time.
But he absolutely couldn't block the second sword.
"Pfft~"
Zang He's head flew up, and his body was dismembered in mid-air.
The last scene he saw was the City Lord's Mansion burning in the firelight in the dark night, and a young man in an Agronomist's cloud robe was looking at a token on the high platform.
"If I had known, I shouldn't have worked too hard last night, otherwise how could I not even take two swords? Alas, women are a disaster..."
Zang He died with endless regret, his consciousness completely extinguished.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Xing suddenly found a ray of light shining on his body, followed by a large warm current washing over his whole body.
"I've reached the mid-stage of the 7th grade?"
"I clearly didn't kill anyone after entering the city, but this transferred 'power' has been coming to me."
"Random probability events have all become certain events."
Yan Jiu's luck—in the entire Xuanhuang World, those who can surpass him are probably only the Witch Moon God and the Martial Emperor.
Not playing that luck-dynasty set, Yan Jiu is the limit of ordinary practitioners.
Of course, the Witch Moon God is relatively special, and he is also slightly higher than himself.
Such high-level luck led to the fact that after entering the city, no matter who killed, most of it was transferred to him.
When Long Xiao hacked Zang He to death, he took the opportunity to recover to the mid-stage of the 7th grade.
"Earth Fiend Realm, I can burrow into the ground. I finally felt the existence of the earth veins," Zhao Xing sighed.
Before, at the 8th and 9th grades, he couldn't burrow into the ground, as if there were no earth veins between heaven and earth at all.
Now it's different.
"This feeling is like being in another layer, only I can feel it. I can exert the strength of the Earth Fiend Realm, while others are in another layer. There are only twenty or thirty people in the whole city who are in the same layer as me," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
Swoosh~
He immediately left the city.
From 7th grade to 6th grade, the effect of killing 7th grade is the greatest. If killing 8th or 9th grade, it would take merging tens of thousands to upgrade.
The effect transfer of those small soldiers is of course best received by the people of the Ten Suns Legion.
The number of practitioners increases, his Ten Suns Legion's mobility will be stronger, and its combat effectiveness will be higher.
Long Xiao and the others can even form battle formations.
Outside Fengwu City, Zhao Xing looked at the blood-stained token, which was trembling constantly, and then crushed it.
This was a warning order, he didn't know where it came from, but not responding was the right thing to do.
"Brother Zhao, you can come in."
Before dawn, the battle was completely over.
Zhao Xing's people successfully occupied Fengwu City.
Returning to Fengwu City again, Xia Jing was filled with emotion. He didn't expect that he could come back, and come back so easily.
"Zang He, with only 1, 00 people, simply couldn't defend such a large Fengwu City."
"Coupled with the fact that this city had been broken before, there were loopholes everywhere. Even if they wanted to repair it, they didn't have that much time and manpower."
"Many barbarian soldiers even died in their sleep, not knowing what happened at all," Xia Jing looked at the final battle report. "1, 00 people, 90% died in battle, and only a few escaped."
"The cultivation base of our own people is still being counted, but I think it should be close to 2, 00 practitioners," Xia Jing said.
"We have regained a large amount of supplies. Hehe, although this guy has few people, he is guarding a logistics city. We are fat again now!"
Zhao Xing smiled: "That's why I said there was nothing to bring at the beginning. The neighbor stores grain, I store guns. The neighbor is my granary. As long as we maintain the combat effectiveness of our people, then these enemies are our food."
There was nothing to see in the battle results. Zang He guarding this broken city with so few people, anyone who came would have such a result.
He didn't pay too much attention to the battle results, but quickly called Wang Ji.
"Here!" Wang Ji jumped down from the roof. "Grand Agronomist, what are your orders?"
"Is there any news from the Imperial Court?"
Wang Ji said: "I contacted a Mechanist of the Wuyao Army, but we only maintained communication for twenty breaths. We are too far apart."
"The Nine Nether God started a big sweep, and the Wuyao Army is at least 3, 00 miles away from us. Wuliang Juzi cannot communicate from such a distance."
"However, during these twenty breaths, I transmitted your news and provided some information about the troop deployment."
"The Wuyao Army also fed back some news and told us some key intelligence."
Zhao Xing said: "What key intelligence?"
Wang Ji pointed to the map and said: "Including the various generals and factions under the Nine Nether God, the tribes they belong to, and the command style of the generals."
"In addition, several sect stations in Lanhai Prefecture and Cangzhou Prefecture can provide us with help, as long as we can match the secret language, and this set of secret language has already been given to me by General Li."
"Finally, he asked me to tell you that the Imperial Court is mobilizing a large army to rescue us, and asked me to report our position at all times."
After hearing this, Zhao Xing was not happy, but frowned: "The Imperial Court knows the news, so the Nine Nether God should also know my news."
"Originally we only needed to face the encirclement and interception of 30, 00 Nine Nether troops and local garrison troops, now we may have to face 400, 00 troops."
"No wonder the enemy's support was so fast when we attacked Min City before."
Before the second transfer, Zhao Xing had to fight guerrilla warfare for half a month in the direction of Xueling and Tage, adopting a mobile tactic of breaking up the whole into parts, dividing the team into sixteen routes, harassing everywhere, and confusing the line of sight.
"If nothing unexpected happens, there are already multiple large armies surrounding us now," Zhao Xing pointed to the map. "Wang Ji, you go with Xia Jing to contact those sect people who have surrendered. You don't need them to do much, just tell us the intelligence and movements of the encirclement army. It is very simple for them to provide intelligence on any enemy army that has passed, or is about to pass, through their territory."
It is difficult to hide the mobilization of a large army. What Zhao Xing wants is the timeliness of information, and there are now three main ways to transmit information.
First is to send someone to run a trip in person, second is to raise carrier eagles, and third is the Wuliang Juzi of the Mechanist.
The first and second are both slow and risky, but the third is very safe, but the shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, the distance is short.
Like Wang Ji, he was specifically asked to recover to the 7th grade, but his communication distance would not exceed a thousand miles. Whether he can contact friendly forces over a thousand miles depends on his face.
"Nine Nether God..." Zhao Xing looked at the token and thought in the night.
"You mean, with so many people encircling and suppressing, You Yun not only failed to kill Zhao Xing's Ten Suns Legion, but also lost Zang He's life?" The Nine Nether God was wearing a black robe, his face hidden in the shadows, only revealing a pair of eyes flashing with strange light. A powerful dark aura radiated from his body, as if it could swallow all light.
"Yes." The Mechanist reported, "You Yun said he is rushing to Fengwu City and must take Zhao Xing."
"Stupid!" The Nine Nether God was extremely annoyed: "Now he is going to support, he will be fooled again!"
"Tell him, the encirclement and suppression will be commanded by me personally, don't act rashly."
"You want to command the overall situation of Lanhai Prefecture and Cangyue Prefecture, you need to find a central location, otherwise the Mechanist communication cannot be transmitted in real-time and quickly. The only place suitable for command is Guiyang Commandery."
"I will personally go to Guiyang Commandery to command the coalition army." The Nine Nether God said coldly.
He already knew that Great Zhou was rapidly assembling a large army, preparing to come from Ke Shen's territory to his territory, so the Nine Nether God must solve Zhao Xing before Great Zhou builds up enough strength.
Great Zhou can spare no cost, and the Witch Moon God also said that to kill Zhao Xing, they can also spare no cost!
As long as Zhao Xing can be encircled and annihilated, Great Zhou will have no reason to support, and will still prioritize the overall situation.
"Set off immediately!"
The Nine Nether God flashed and disappeared in place.
Taking Fengwu City again gave the Ten Suns Legion a very precious ten-day breathing time, and at the same time, it was greatly supplemented in terms of military supplies and cultivation base recovery.
But crossing the Tianshui River twice only allowed the Ten Suns Legion to survive temporarily, and the real crisis had not yet been resolved.
Because at this time, the Nine Nether God was already very angry that his subordinates were played by Zhao Xing like this.
So he personally came to the center of the two prefectures—Guiyang Commandery, to conduct overall command.
He knew that the Ten Suns Legion had a unique style, was good at mobile warfare of turning and moving, and because it had been trained for the longest time, the military literacy and organizational degree of the whole army were extremely high, and they met a good commander. When they acted, it was like mercury pouring down, and if they were not careful, they would let them slip out of the encirclement.
So the Nine Nether God divided the 400, 00-strong army into seven routes, decided to encircle Pin Prefecture again! At the same time, he gave instructions to the seven-route coalition army to build hard stockades and fight dull battles.
Adopt the fortress tactic, tens of thousands of troops fight steadily and step by step, and no route of the large army is allowed to protrude and advance rashly.
Shrink the encirclement bit by bit, and limit the Ten Suns Legion's space for action step by step.
Let Zhao Xing have no way to carry out mobile warfare, and finally annihilate Zhao Xing and the Ten Suns Legion in the Pin Prefecture area.
"Damn it, these 400, 00 really came for me."
After taking Fengwu City, Zhao Xing contacted some sect people in various parts of the two prefectures through the relationship of the Wuyao Army and secret messages, and learned the movements of the Nine Nether God's large army from their mouths.
But, knowing it is not of much use.
"The enemy is airtight, and our army has no way to insert. Defending is not a way, we must launch a battle to break through." In the council hall, Zhao Xing and senior generals were discussing.
"Now, we have two choices in front of us."
"One is to fight the Nine Nether Army's direct line, the Tianhe Upper City guarded by Grand Commander You Yun (the original one was a small city). One is to fight the Earth Fiend City of Wan Yansong under the Yanguang Royal Court."
Long Xiao immediately said: "One is a direct army, one is a side army, then it must be to fight Wan Yansong? He must be weaker and easier to fight."
"Not bad, I also think we should fight Wan Yansong."
"The Yanguang Royal Court came to Lanhai Prefecture, not acclimatized, the climate here is humid, they are not used to it."
"Fighting him, we have a greater chance of winning."
The vast majority of senior officials expressed their opinions. Seeing so many people echoing him, Long Xiao couldn't help but feel a little proud.
It seems that I, Old Long, am also a sensible person!
"I advocate attacking Grand Commander You Yun of the Nine Nether Army." Just then, Zhao Xing spoke.
"Ah? Why?" Long Xiao was puzzled, and the other generals were also confused.
"First, Wan Yansong of Earth Fiend City is indeed not as strong as You Yun, but it is not so easy to fight," Zhao Xing said. "To his north is Hou Ying's 36, 00 people, and to the southeast is Wu Tingye's 48, 00 people."
"Both Hou and Wu are direct lines of the Nine Nether Army."
Please... collect... ()
"Upon receiving the order from the superior, they will inevitably go to rescue immediately."
"Once the siege war is delayed, Hou and Wu will flank and cut off our retreat, and the situation will fall into a dangerous situation."
"Second, even if it is taken, it cannot be defended. When the seven-route coalition army arrives, it will not make any sense. So what are we fighting for? Please think carefully, we are not fighting for the sake of fighting, the gain or loss of a city or a place is not important."
"I have emphasized many times before, if you save the land and lose the people, you lose both; if you save the people and lose the land, you get both!"
"Our goal is to fight for a new world!"
Hearing Zhao Xing's words, everyone fell into deep thought.
"Then if we fight the direct line Grand Commander You Yun, is it possible that this Wan Yansong's support will not be so timely?" Xia Jing said.
"Not bad, Brother Xia has considered a lot." Zhao Xing smiled and nodded. "He believes in Ke Shen, not the Nine Nether God. On the contrary, the people of the Yanguang Royal Court have always been at odds with the Holy Light Royal Court. One is cold and gloomy, the other is fierce. This is determined by culture and belief. Even if he supports, it won't be so fast, at least not with all his strength."
"After all, he is a weak force, and the idea of self-preservation is greater than making contributions. From the battle reports of the past few years, it can also be concluded that this person's personality is relatively cautious."
"But Hou Ying and Wu Tingye will still reinforce." Zhao Zheng pondered. "They won't drag their feet."
"Well said." Zhao Xing nodded, "But Wu Tingye and Hou Ying reinforcing You Yun's Tianhe Upper City is much farther than reinforcing Wan Yansong's Earth Fiend City. What we want is a time difference."
"So, what we should fight is the direct line Grand Commander You Yun. It is good if Tianhe Upper City can be taken, which can severely damage the enemy's effective strength and obtain favorable space for the next step of turning and moving."
"What if it can't be taken?" Chen Shijie asked.
"If it can't be taken, we can cross the Tianshui River to the south nearby," Zhao Xing said. "Creating an illusion that our army is eager to cross the Canglan River to the southeast to rendezvous with Dong Ze's army after the failure."
"This will draw all the enemies to the southeast of the Tianshui River."
"Creating a favorable situation for our army's next step of maneuvering."
"Cross again?" Long Xiao's brain was a little confused. What on earth is this running back and forth for?
On the 17th of the third month, the Ten Suns Legion began to move quickly, leaving Fengwu City, and attacking Tianhe Upper City guarded by Grand Commander You Yun.
Because Zhao Xing's reputation was too great, and he had received strict orders from the Nine Nether God, You Yun was immediately like facing a great enemy. While preparing for the city defense, he immediately sent out a request for help.
Less than half a day after fighting, the light cavalry and Wang Ji both sent news that Hou Ying and Wu Tingye were urgently reinforcing.
The vanguard of two or three thousand people could arrive in just one day.
"Stop attacking the city!"
Zhao Xing did not hesitate and immediately issued an order to stop attacking the city.
The attack stopped around 2: 0 PM, but Zhao Xing waited until it was almost dark before starting to retreat.
One was to reorganize the troops and divide the columns, and the other was to confirm that Hou Ying and Wu Tingye's armies had already left the city.
"According to the original plan, cross the Tianshui River from Tianhe Lower City and Sanwan Beach."
"Is there enough time?" Liao Rulong worried, "You waited until night to leave, our river crossing speed won't be very fast, and we still have to find some boats..."
Xia Jing and Zhao Xing looked at each other and laughed: "As for boats, they are ready-made, just rest assured. When you get to the place, you will definitely have a boat to sit on, and we won't let you swim across the river in the cold weather."
"Uh?" Liao Rulong closed his mouth immediately.
Xia Jing said: "As for waiting until night, one is to reorganize the army, two is to confirm that Hou Ying and Wu Tingye have left their lair, and three is that it is convenient for tactical insertion in the dark."
"I understand." Liao Rulong suddenly realized.
Actually, he still didn't understand what to cross the river for, but there was Zhao Zheng next to him, so he didn't panic.
There are plenty of people in the Ten Suns Legion who use their brains.
On the 19th of the third month, at the port of the original Tianshui River Lower City.
The barbarian general with cyan skin watched Zhao Xing and the others descend like divine soldiers, appearing in front of him, and his face turned green.
"You, why are you here again."
"Yo, isn't this a coincidence? You are still guarding the city," Xia Jing laughed. This person was guarding Tianhe Lower City during the first crossing, but he took the opportunity to run away at that time.
I don't know how he was glib-tongued, but Grand Commander You Yun actually let him guard this broken city again.
This time the defending general surrendered directly.
There was no way, he only had 500 people here, even worse than Zang He, and the city hadn't been repaired yet.
"Kill or not?" Long Xiao asked.
"Ah, all you immortal grandpas, don't kill me." The general who looked like a green toad knelt down with a thud. "I'm just a low-level squad leader. I have a 300-year-old mother above and a wife and children waiting to be fed below. I only came here to guard the city because I can speak sixteen tribal languages and can coordinate different tribal soldiers. I haven't killed anyone at all, woo woo woo..."
Everyone: "..."
"Forget it, let him go." Zhao Xing looked at his cowardly appearance and was too lazy to kill him. "Keep him to report the news, let You Yun and the others know that we have crossed the river."
"Ah, I won't say anything, all you immortal grandpas, just go, I will pretend I didn't see it." The toad general begged for mercy again.
How could Zhao Xing listen to his ghost talk?
However, his purpose was to let people know that they had crossed the river.
Whether the toad general said it or not didn't matter, saying it was better for him.
"Different from the previous two times, this time we don't want to advance secretly, but to advance with great fanfare," Zhao Xing said in the middle of the river. "So after going ashore, we will fight when we see a city, and don't avoid people."
"Ah? Isn't this very easy for people to track?" Liao Rulong was confused again.
"I just want You Yun's reconnaissance flying boat to see it," Zhao Xing smiled. "If not, how would the Nine Nether God mobilize a large army to cross the river to encircle and block us?"
"Chen Shijie."
"Subordinate is here." Chen Shijie immediately obeyed.
Zhao Xing shook his body, and a grass man appeared around him.
"Change!"
Middle-Pole Technique, Phantom Grass Man.
Now that Zhao Xing has reached the 7th grade, the Phantom Grass Man can reach the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing.
"You mobilize a team of Agronomists, whether they can use the Talisman Paper Body Technique or the Grass Man Technique, all mobilize them to one group."
"Yes." Chen Shijie left immediately.
"Wang Ji."
"Here."
"How is the Sky-Breaking Flying Boat I asked you to modify?"
"The modification has been basically completed."
"Very good."
Zhao Xing smiled.
"Release all the Sky-Breaking Flying Boats and ascend."
"Let all clones and Dharma bodies get on the Sky-Breaking Flying Boats."
"At the same time, contact the sect people in Guiyang Commandery at the junction of Lanhai Prefecture and Cangyue Prefecture, choose a few people, and deliberately release our news. You must have dead soldiers, because they report false news, and they will definitely not survive afterward. They must be mentally prepared," Zhao Xing said.
"Yes." Wang Ji immediately went to arrange it.
"Gr-Grand Agronomist." Zhao Zheng, who had been listening on the side, finally couldn't help it. "How do you know the Nine Nether God is in Guiyang Commandery?"
"Let your Brother Xia teach you this kind of question," Zhao Xing waved his hand, "I'll go get busy first."
Watching Zhao Xing walk away, Xia Jing explained helplessly: "The reason is very simple. If the Nine Nether God wants to remotely control the overall situation and the whole army, he must let his Mechanist group cover all the armies."
"Looking at the map, only Guiyang Commandery can achieve full coverage of 400, 00 troops, transmit his orders in time, and know our every move in time."
"In another place, his communication will be delayed. A difference of half an hour is very difficult to tolerate."
"So that's it." Zhao Zheng suddenly realized.
After crossing the Tianshui River for the third time, the Nine Nether God also got Zhao Xing's movements.
He took a look at the map and couldn't help laughing.
"Zhao Xing is also at his wit's end, actually crossing the Tianshui River again to attack the three cities of Min, wanting to repeat the old trick and cross from Songshan Ferry?"
"Little does he know that my seven-route army has long blocked every exit. If he dares to go here again, it is no different from sending himself to death."
"God Seat is wise." A middle-aged man with a burly figure and sword-like eyebrows couldn't help but praise, "It seems that within seven days, Zhao Xing and his Ten Suns Legion will fall in Min land."
"After this time, the God Seat can sit back and relax. Taking advantage of Great Zhou's panic and withdrawal, go north to hit the Luohou King's guard army, you can fight Dong Ze, you can also fight Li Hao, or the Beichen King."
"It's a pity that I can't watch him die with my own eyes." A trace of coldness flashed in the Nine Nether God's eyes.
After crossing the Tianshui River three times, Zhao Xing dispatched about 3, 00 people, opened the distance, and rode the Sky-Breaking Flying Boats through the towns with great fanfare.
Because the boats were full of clones and talisman paper, there were actually not many living people, but the boats were good boats. The Sky-Breaking Flying Boat could be said to be one of the best mounts in the Severed Heaven and Earth.
Zhao Xing publicized everywhere that he had shaken off the pursuers this time and carried heavy weapons, inviting sect people from all walks of life and barbarian tribes to surrender to Great Zhou. They would definitely be able to take the three cities of Min. As long as they crossed the Canglan River, they could rendezvous with Dong Ze.
The Nine Nether God and the like were simply goods not worth mentioning.
Such arrogant remarks made the Nine Nether God sneer.
"Escaping from the heavy encirclement of the army three times in a row, I am afraid he has recovered well and is a little carried away."
"However, you don't have such good luck this time."
The Nine Nether God waved his hand.
As if beheading Zhao Xing.
Just when everyone thought the army was heading to Min land.
The real Ten Suns Legion didn't go to Min land at all, but scattered the army in the mountains with the Fog-Hiding Technique, all the way to the northeast, in the opposite direction, and returned to the vicinity of the Tianshui River in the northeast section.
On the evening of the 22nd of the third month, the army of over 30, 00 people crossed the Tianshui River silently from ferry crossings like Longyou Beach.
Because it was not the first time doing this, everyone was very skilled this time, breaking the whole into parts, and inserting through the gaps of the 400, 00-strong army.
At this time, it was only the 25th of the third month, and the Nine Nether God's 400, 00-strong army had basically arrived south of the Tianshui River, preparing to take Zhao Xing and the Ten Suns Legion in one go.
They didn't know at all that Zhao Xing and the Ten Suns Legion had already arrived north of the Tianshui River.
What was left in Min land was just a pile of seemingly precious equipment and a small group of living people, and the rest were all "fake people."
On the 1st of the fourth month.
The Nine Nether God began to routinely inquire about the encirclement of Zhao Xing and the Ten Suns Legion.
In the past, the answers he received were that Zhao Xing had been discovered and was being tracked, but today it seemed a little different.
"Hou Ying's unit discovered Zhao Xing, You Yun also discovered Zhao Xing, Wan Yansong also discovered Zhao Xing..." The Nine Nether God smiled slightly, "This Zhao Xing can't help it, and has begun to plan to use grass man clones to confuse this god."
"However, these grass men of his are too crude."
"God Seat is wise, without reaching the 5th grade, he simply cannot exert the power of the Grass Man Technique." A handsome man with a burly figure smiled.
"As for the 5th-grade 【Heaven and Earth Protection】, it is very difficult for Zhao Xing to obtain it. The time is too short. In just a few months, he is far from enough to gather so many effects."
"Unless in every battle, 80% or 90% of the effects are on him alone, but how is this possible."
The Nine Nether God nodded, it was indeed unlikely.
He was just a Grand Agronomist, how could he have such strong luck?
Guiyang Commandery, at a secret mountain gate.
Here was a very famous Agronomist sect—Guiyuan Sect.
It and Kunyuan Academy were once one, but later, like Xuan Tian Academy, it split.
At this time, the Sect Master of Guiyuan Sect, Guiyuan God Venerable, was waiting for something at the mountain gate.
Suddenly, a teenager emerged from the ground and appeared in front of him.
"The Grand Agronomist is indeed courageous, at the early stage of the 6th grade, and dares to be invited to see me, a 5th-grade." Guiyuan God Venerable laughed loudly. "Aren't you afraid that I am actually pretending to surrender?"
"I believe in you," Zhao Xing said seriously: "I am willing to pay for this trust and bear any consequences."
Guiyuan God Venerable's eyes were touched, he nodded slightly, and said nothing more. Then he beckoned from behind, and suddenly a group of people walked out from behind the mountain gate.
Zhao Xing's pupils shrank. There were actually two 5th-grades and fifty-seven 6th-grades here!
Such a battle formation was not inferior to the scale of the Fog Walker's surrender back then!
"Seeing the Saint of Agronomists today, have your wishes been fulfilled?" Guiyuan God Venerable asked.
"Crossing the Heavenly River four times is truly a divine person. Even if I die, I have no regrets!" A group of elderly elders stroked their beards and laughed.
"Hear the Dao in the morning, die in the evening," Guiyuanzi said. "We are willing to contribute a meager strength to the Grand Agronomist's path of ascension, only asking the Grand Agronomist to lead the juniors in the sect to return to Great Zhou together."
"You..." Zhao Xing seemed to understand something, and he bowed to everyone.
When he looked up again, there was only a group of young people left in the mountain gate.
Guiyuan God Venerable committed suicide with a group of elders, and all the permissions were transferred to Zhao Xing's body. The juniors in the mountain gate were blocked by the barrier and did not receive any harm.
At this moment, Zhao Xing went straight to the 5th-grade perfection realm!
"Don't worry, I will definitely take them to ascend together." Zhao Xing waved his hand and took away all the Guiyuan Sect people behind the mountain gate.
It was on this day, the 1st of the fourth month, that Zhao Xing and the Ten Suns Legion appeared in Guiyang Commandery.
The army arrived under the empty Guiyang City, pointing directly at the Nine Nether God!
In the evening, when the Nine Nether God asked where Zhao Xing and his army had fled to Min land.
The subordinate replied tremblingly: "God Seat, Zhao, Zhao Xing, his army has arrived under Guiyang City."
"You, what did you say?!" The Nine Nether God was stunned.
