Chapter 370: The Battle of the Practitioners: The Severing of Heaven and Earth (Part II)

~29 min read 5,751 words

After three days of fierce attacks on Min City, Heshui City, and Yuyou City, Zhao Xing was not idle during the retreat.

He ordered the Shenwei Army, Xuanjia Army, Zhenhai Army, Hujiao Army, and Lieyang Army to leave six groups of practitioners each during the retreat, taking turns casting two types of spells outside the three cities every day.

One was "Flying Sand and Moving Stones," and the other was "Cloud Technique" or "Mist Technique," deliberately creating a commotion as if they were about to attack the city again at any time.

Due to the previous three days of fierce attacks, Zhao Xing and the others had also used the tactic of luring the enemy out of the city, causing the garrison commanders of Min City, Heshui City, and Yuyou City to only want to defend the city, without any thought of going out to scout.

Not making mistakes meant not being wrong. As long as they held the city and prevented the Great Zhou enemy from getting supplies, that was a great merit!

Thus, when Grand Commander You Yun arrived outside the three cities of Min City, Heshui City, and Yuyou City with reinforcements, he only found echo shells stretching for several miles.

"Neigh—neigh—"

Inside were the sounds of war horses 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 expressionless as he crushed an echo shell, looking at the garrison commanders of Min City, Heshui City, and Yuyou City.

"You said the enemy fiercely attacked the city, as if they wouldn't stop until they broke it. This commander asks the three of you, where is the enemy army?"

The commanders 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: "Your courage is so small 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 commanders didn't dare to breathe.

Although they were also regular troops, their ranking was very low, far from being comparable to elites like the Jiuyou Army.

Go out of the city? Risk their lives? We strictly executed the order to defend the city. How can you blame us if they left? Why don't you blame yourself for supporting too late!

However, such words were naturally impossible to say, only blindly saying that the enemy was too cunning, and words of pleading guilty to the commander.

Commander You Yun took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to kill these three bastards.

He didn't even know when the people left, so naturally, he 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 sent out scouts to search.

But strangely, he searched for three days and still couldn't figure out where Zhao Xing's team had gone.

It wasn't until the seventh day that he got some clues.

"Grand Commander, the Great Zhou team that crossed the river appeared at the northern border between Langhe Prefecture and Cangzhou Prefecture, located in the area of Tage City and Xueying City."

Commander You Yun frowned: "What are they doing there? Tage and Xueying are not even Witch Cities, and the other is only a Ninth Rank small town. What is worth their plotting there?"

"Going further northwest, those are two Seventh Rank cities. They can't get through, so 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 eastern half of the Tianshui River: Song Shan Ferry and Yangshan Ferry.

Grand Commander You Yun's heart skipped a beat: "They wouldn't have returned to the south of Pin Prefecture again, would they?"

Pin Prefecture was actually a large commandery, an important city of Langhe Prefecture. Fengwu City, Tianshui City, and Xichang City all belonged to the south of Pin Prefecture.

"What for? Just jumped out of our encirclement, and then turned back? Not good... Fengwu City now only has Zang He's 1,500 men guarding it. Something big is going to happen!"

"Song Shan Ferry and Yangshan Ferry are in the southeast, while Fengwu City, Tianshui City, and Xichang City are in the southwest. But there are no powerful garrison troops in this encirclement. If I didn't think he would go back, then others probably didn't think so either. Now that I've stopped here for so long, Zang He is going to be in trouble!"

Grand Commander You Yun felt his scalp tingle after realizing Zhao Xing's intention.

He didn't expect Zhao Xing to dare to go back and attack Fengwu City again.

He wanted to send someone to pass a message to Zang He in Fengwu City, but there was no reply for several hours.

"Quick, go back to Fengwu City!"

Grand Commander You Yun roared.

Fengwu City, City Lord's Mansion.

"Woo—"

The horn of battle sounded, waking Zang He from his sleep.

He pushed away the two Fox-clan beauties on his body, not even caring about 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 asked.

"It's, it's the Ten Yang Legion, they have already killed their way into the city!"

"What? Impossible, absolutely impossible! They are in Min City, how could they have come back?!" Zang He couldn't believe it. The Ten Yang Legion could be said to have had a hard time running out of 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 was still chatting with Hou Ying, complaining that he wasn't taken along for the encirclement and suppression.

I heard that he and the Grand Commander were encircling and suppressing Zhao Xing in the Min City area. They finished chatting last night, and it wasn't even dawn today, yet they had killed their way to Fengwu City.

"30,000 main army, at this distance, they couldn't even get here by Seventh Rank flying ship, let alone there are no warships in the Forbidden Zone?"

Zang He couldn't figure it out, but the sound of killing outside was real and approaching, 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 roared lowly, throwing the personal guard toward the sword light, while he himself surged with blood energy and rushed toward the wall on the other side.

The awkwardness of a warrior lies here; they cannot burrow into the ground when fleeing, and before reaching the Tiangang Realm, they cannot even fly.

"Want to run?! I've been sleeping in the open for these days, just waiting to eat you, this piece of fat meat. Where are you running!"

Long Xiao was now a Seventh Rank, and Zang He was also a Seventh Rank, but these two being the same Seventh Rank was not the same concept at all.

Long Xiao was the number one sword cultivator in Pinghai Prefecture! Zang He's original cultivation hadn't even reached the First Rank.

Blocking one sword without dying was Zang He's explosion before life and death, and it was also because 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 under the dark night, and a young man wearing a Si Nong cloud robe was looking at a token on the high platform.

"If I had known, I shouldn't have been so overworked last night, otherwise how could I not even take two swords? Hey, women are a disaster..."

"How deep is the damage of the Qi Shen clan to the Xuanhuang World, don't you know? What gods, Heavenly Dao, are all nonsense, it's better to say you have been brainwashed by generations of Witch Moon Gods."

"The painstaking efforts of the Witch Moon God, how can you understand?" The Jiuyou God was not angered, but responded lightly. "You don't understand at all."

"The existence of the Qi Shen World Star has already proven that the vast universe possesses other civilizations and vitality. The inheritance of Qing Yu Zi is even more so. I believe that a million years ago, Qing Yu Zi had a conversation with the Witch Moon God, and might even have told the Witch Moon God the star map coordinates outside." Zhao Xing shook his head: "But he will never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep."

"Simply put, the ascending dynasty is digging the material of the Xuanhuang World, which is cutting off your possibility of longevity."

"In the final analysis, you are still greedy for life and afraid of death, not wanting to go out and venture, only wanting to use the Xuanhuang World to achieve the purpose of reincarnation and eternal life. You want to dominate the benefits of the Xuanhuang World, and for this, you don't hesitate to break the path of ascension, talking about the Xuanhuang World? How hypocritical."

"Stop talking nonsense, do it!"

The Jiuyou God gave a low drink and suddenly exploded his Qi. His body was originally no different from a human, but at this time, he transformed.

His muscles became extremely exaggerated, his clothes were torn open, a row of green compound eyes appeared on his chest and back, a green canopy grew on his head, with green as the base color, but dotted with black spots, and two thick wings on his back.

His hands and feet seemed to be covered with leather, and his muscles were horizontal.

The Jiuyou God's aura flashed with thunder, and the whole person had completely changed.

"What kind of Jiuyou God, it's just a Yin worm from the void that has become a spirit." Zhao Xing looked at it, "Neither human nor ghost."

"Shut up!"

The Jiuyou God's voice seemed to have many sound lines superimposed together, making a very strange roar.

"You shut up for me!"

"Huang!"

Zhao Xing also let out a roar, the sound of a dragon's chant resounded, the sound waves were visible to the naked eye, shaking away the Jiuyou God's sound wave attack.

"Bang, bang, bang~~" The Jiuyou God, like an arrow off the string, rushed toward Zhao Xing. His speed was extremely fast, emitting a sonic boom.

"Pure Yuan Projection!"

Fifth Rank Pure Yuan Realm perfection, Zhao Xing could already fully open the Pure Yuan soil and perform projection.

A phantom of a spiritual mountain appeared between the two, abruptly blocking the Jiuyou God's path.

"Bang!"

The Jiuyou God, relying on his thick-skinned talent, chose to ram directly. A huge sound came out, stones flew, but he himself was bounced back.

Spinning constantly, he retreated a hundred meters before stabilizing his figure.

The Jiuyou God, shaking his head, couldn't help but be surprised. His hardest part was his head, although he was only at the Fifth Rank, he hadn't failed to knock down a spiritual mountain when he was at the Fifth Rank.

However, this one of Zhao Xing's was obviously different, too hard!

A ten-meter-long hole, the damage to the spiritual mountain was simply negligible.

This mountain was at least ten thousand meters high and a thousand meters thick. How many years would it take to knock through it?

"Knocking my mountain?" Zhao Xing laughed, "You think you are Gonggong."

Swish, swish, swish, swish~

Zhao Xing began to summon clones one by one. At the Fifth Rank, Zhao Xing could use the Advanced Straw Man Method.

The Advanced Straw Man Method was all fusion techniques, such as Flying Sky Shield, Flying Sky Self-Destruction, Phantom Self-Destruction, Invisible Soul-Swallowing, etc.

As soon as the Jiuyou God flew over this mountain, he saw an army of straw men waiting for him behind the mountain.

"Zzz, zzz, zzz~"

The first batch of twenty straw men, their bodies flashing with thunder, shook the thunder chains in their hands and threw them at the Jiuyou God.

The second batch of twenty straw men approached quickly, their arms extended, and began to wrap around the Jiuyou God layer by layer.

"Underworld King Dharma Image!"

The Jiuyou God was wrapped in a fierce and evil demon god, and the majestic figure formed a protective shield, blocking the straw men's spells ten meters away.

"Explode!"

Batches of straw men rushed toward the Jiuyou God, constantly exploding.

Dust filled the sky, almost instantly submerging the Jiuyou God's body.

"No damage in the smoke, the Jiuyou God's aura hasn't dropped much." Zhao Xing touched his chin, "This set of straw man attacks of mine in the Fifth Rank period has become a Prince's tactic when facing a monster with such powerful talent as the Jiuyou God."

"Jiuyou · Yin Erosion!"

The Jiuyou God opened his mouth and sprayed, a wisp of black gas formed a black light sword, and soon it was the first, the second...

As many straw man clones as there were, he changed as many light swords.

"Slash, slash, slash!"

The black light swords around the Jiuyou God were like swimming dragons, quickly penetrating one straw man after another, and soon there were fewer and fewer straw men in the sky.

"Let's see how many straw men you can summon!" The Jiuyou God grinned, forcing his way closer while enduring the straw men's explosions.

"Five Elements Poison Barrier!"

"Thunder Breaking Delusion Finger!"

"Nine Heavens Gale!"

"Raindrop Domain!"

"Heavenly Fire Sha!"

"Teng Snake Transformation!"

"..."

The straw man clones' spells constantly bombarded the Jiuyou God, but the Jiuyou God resisted them all with the Underworld King Dharma Image.

Jiuyou · Yin Erosion constantly slashed and extinguished the wind, rain, thunder, and clouds, as if it could break all laws in the world.

"This generation of Jiuyou God is also stronger. His black light slash and Underworld King Dharma Image, both attack and defense, have increased in power a lot." Zhao Xing thought secretly. "It seems that the Witch Moon God raising the upper limit of the Severed Heaven and Earth to the Fifth Rank also lifted many restrictions on the Jiuyou God."

"Its body is the Yin-Yin Nine-Headed Worm, possessing a total of nine innate divine abilities, among which 【Jiuyou · Yin Erosion】 and 【Jiuyou · Underworld】 are relatively strong among minor divine abilities, and they were awakened during the Fifth Rank period. Even if they were weakened countless times within the scope of the Severed Heaven and Earth, they are still not something that ordinary methods can break."

Soon, Zhao Xing's straw men were killed, and Zhao Xing no longer sent out new straw men.

"Why don't you release clones anymore?"

"Hahahaha, you know nothing about the power of gods!" The Jiuyou God laughed wantonly, "This god possesses nine innate minor divine abilities, even in the Fifth Rank period, I can use three of them."

"You didn't run away when you had a good chance, but came to provoke me? You are really looking for death!"

Looking at the arrogant Jiuyou God, Zhao Xing evaluated and found that the other party was like opening a cheat, and his comprehensive strength had completely exceeded the limit of the Fifth Rank.

If it were just a Sixth Rank Jiuyou God, he wouldn't be able to use any divine abilities at all, and could only fight with acquired spells or martial arts.

But it was this difference in rank that made the Jiuyou God's combat effectiveness rise extremely exaggeratedly.

However...

"Who doesn't know how to open a cheat."

Zhao Xing smiled lightly, threw out a flower basket, and retreated behind the Cloud-Touching Vine.

"Eh?"

The Jiuyou God was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed greatly.

He felt a strong threat. The Underworld King Dharma Image suddenly extinguished, and the black light swords seemed to be solidified, freezing in the air.

The Cloud-Touching Vine seemed to be rooted in the air. With the shaking of the purple-black leaves, a third layer appeared in heaven and earth, which was the space unique to the Cloud-Touching Vine.

One of the Cloud-Touching Vine's innate divine abilities, Void Imprisonment!

"Laugh, why don't you laugh?" Zhao Xing waved his hand, and the spiritual mountain phantom moved.

"Rise!"

The spiritual mountain flew up. It was born from the Pure Yuan projection, and now Zhao Xing was using this mountain to smash people.

The power of the Benwo Sect was fully displayed at this moment. When the spiritual mountain and earth veins are cultivated in the body, I am heaven and earth!

After developing for hundreds of years in the early stage and investing a lot of resources, it finally paid off in the later stage.

It's just that in the Xuanhuang World, very few Benwo Sect Si Nong can wait for such a day.

"Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell!"

At the last moment, the Jiuyou God's whole body suddenly split, and a figure flew out from the solidified shell.

The Underworld King Dharma Image extinguished, and the black light sword disappeared.

But he had indeed escaped the range of the mountain suppression and pulled his position back to the high sky.

"Hiss~ ha~ hiss~ ha~"

The Jiuyou God's chest heaved violently. He had just used his third talent, but this obviously consumed a lot of his energy.

At this moment, his green-white-purple skin turned blood-red. This was a move to save his life, and the price was naturally not small.

"Where to run!"

Zhao Xing stepped on the clouds, quickly narrowed the distance, and drove the change of the flower basket's position, making the Cloud-Touching Vine's position change rapidly as well.

Heaven and earth seemed to have become a flowing river, and the range of Void Imprisonment once again shrouded the Jiuyou God.

"Bang!"

The Jiuyou God once again cast his talent and escaped from Void Imprisonment.

But this time, his body became much smaller, as if every time he shed his shell, he would lose a lot of energy.

According to Zhao Xing's knowledge, the Jiuyou God, as the owner of the innate divine ability 【Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell】, can use it at most nine times.

Others, who learn it as a spell, cannot truly exert the mystery of 【Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell】, and can use it at most five times.

After all, one is born with it, and the other is a method created by studying the Jiuyou God's talent afterward, so the difference is naturally very large.

"How can there be such a powerful plant soldier!" The Jiuyou God couldn't understand. Is this really a life form bred by the Xuanhuang World?

Continuous escapes made the Jiuyou God feel like retreating.

Continuous escapes also made the Cloud-Touching Vine extremely dissatisfied.

Everyone else died properly, why is this guy always running?

"Chirp, chirp~"

The purple-black leaves began to spit out a large amount of mist, and the Cloud-Touching Vine suddenly expanded the range of Void Imprisonment.

It expanded too fast, so even Zhao Xing was frozen.

Maintaining the posture of riding the clouds, he couldn't move a single hair.

"Big brother is really crazy, hitting his own people too." Zhao Xing was startled, only his thinking was active, and the rest of his body couldn't move a bit.

Once again frozen, the Jiuyou God's speed of shedding his shell became extremely slow.

And the Cloud-Touching Vine didn't give him this chance, casting its second divine ability—Void Strangulation.

Black cracks suddenly appeared where the Jiuyou God was.

The whole process had no movement, and the Jiuyou God split directly. His body was suddenly divided into sixty parts, quickly pulling apart the distance between each other and throwing them in different directions.

After doing all this, the Cloud-Touching Vine seemed a bit withered, and the Pure Yuan projection swept back, drilled into Zhao Xing's body, and began to recuperate.

At the same time, Zhao Xing also recovered his mobility, and looked at the Jiuyou God again.

The black cracks disappeared, but the Jiuyou God couldn't recover, becoming lumps of meat.

"Heavenly Fire!"

Zhao Xing quickly cast a spell, burning the Jiuyou God's remains.

Together with the two he had shed, they were all burned clean.

"Saying I know nothing about the power of gods? Humph, you know nothing about the power of the Cloud-Touching Vine." Zhao Xing stepped on the clouds and left.

"My god, the Jiuyou God is dead!"

"I said long ago that this Zhao Xing is probably restored to full strength, what should we do now?"

"Kill out and avenge the Jiuyou God!"

"Well said, we must avenge! Generals, I, Qing Heavenly Yang Zi, will go prepare and fight to the death with the Great Zhou demon!" A general wearing Jiuyou armor bowed immediately and left with two adjutants beside him.

"Go through fire and water, I will not refuse, my Cangyue Sect is also going to mobilize troops!" Another Jiuyou general went down the city wall.

The rest were still in shock and daze.

But after these two went down the city wall, they took off the Jiuyou armor on their bodies without hesitation, and found a set of Great Zhou Bright Armor.

The action was clean and neat, and changing clothes was faster than changing faces.

"Quick, quick, quick, go to the Building Ship Office in the east, it will be too late if we are late!" Qing Heavenly Yang Zi roared, "Now that the Jiuyou God is dead, the Southern Barbarian is already a sinking ship. We can't wait any longer, we must complete the surrender before the news spreads."

Qing Heavenly Yang Zi took his men and flew toward the Building Ship Office.

Another Jiuyou general quickly returned to the Council Hall and found a barbarian colleague of the Jiuyou Army: "Brother Cangyue, why did you suddenly come down? Is the crisis outside the city resolved?"

Daoist Cangyue looked anxious, and quickly approached this mage: "The Jiuyou God has defeated the enemy. We are going to go out of the city to pursue, but my sect's army is missing something. I came to borrow something from you, brother."

"Great! What do you want to borrow?"

"Borrow your head!"

The sword light crossed the neck, and the good head flew high.

Daoist Cangyue skillfully took out a soul bag and loaded the other party's corpse and soul.

And swept away the valuable things in this logistics department.

"Go!"

Zhao Xing didn't break Guiyang City again, because Guiyang City itself was in chaos.

He quickly chased in the direction of the Ten Yang Legion's retreat and began the journey back north.

On the other side, Li Hao, the commander of the Wu Yao Army, was struggling to attack a city pass on the southern defense line of the Canglan River in Cangyue Prefecture.

"General, General, urgent report from the Ten Yang Legion!"

Li Hao, who was checking the battle situation in the Marching Hall, raised his head upon hearing this news: "Quick, quick, let me see!"

At this time, Li Hao was also anxious. It had been clearly stated above that if Zhao Xing died, the plan for ascension would be ruined, so this rescue was also a death order.

A day ago, the news he received was that Zhao Xing's Ten Yang Legion was trapped in Min Land.

And he was the closest branch. But this closeness was relative. If he wanted to fight over, Li Hao estimated it would take at least half a month.

So he hoped that Zhao Xing's Ten Yang Legion could hold on for a long time, at least Zhao Xing himself had to hold on for a long time.

"General Li, I have crossed the Tianshui River to the north, traveled to Guiyang Commandery, and intend to rendezvous with General Dong Ze in the north. General, you don't need to fight the Cangyue Pass to rescue... what?"

Li Hao was stunned. He suspected he had misread it, but the signature was indeed Grand Si Nong Zhao Xing.

"Is this really intelligence from the Ten Yang Legion?"

"General, the secret signal of the Ten Yang Legion is not wrong." The subordinate reported, "Our Yu Qing Division can confirm that it was indeed transmitted by the Mechanist of the Ten Yang Legion."

"How is that possible? He was still in Min Land yesterday, and today he arrived in Guiyang Commandery?" Li Hao looked at the sand table map, full of question marks.

Zhao Xing crossed the Tianshui River four times. Not only did the Jiuyou God not understand, but his own people didn't understand either, and were all kept in the dark.

Li Hao was still frantically attacking in the southeast, wanting to rescue Min Land, but Zhao Xing and the Ten Yang Legion had already passed Guiyang Commandery and gone north.

"General, another urgent report from the Ten Yang Legion!"

Please... collect... ( )

"Read it!"

"General Li, the Jiuyou God has been beheaded by Grand Si Nong in the battle of generals, and the two prefectures of Langhe and Cangyue must be in chaos. Our army has withdrawn from the border of Guiyang Commandery, there is no enemy blocking the front, General can seize the opportunity to attack the Cangyue Pass defense line, or attack the Kalete department in the southeast, or the Yu Feiyang department in the southwest. Grand Si Nong Zhao Xing." The adjutant read, his voice carrying a trace of surprise.

Li Hao was even more confused.

He suspected this was an enemy conspiracy.

Otherwise, how could such a thing happen?

"Is the secret signal accurate?"

"Accurate."

Li Hao said with a worried face: "The main force of the Ten Yang Legion is afraid of being captured alive."

He was thinking in this direction, and didn't dare to think the intelligence was correct!

Because it was too outrageous!

Zhao Xing led 30,000 people, not only escaped under the encirclement of 400,000 people, but also cut off the highest commander Jiuyou God.

In the Severed Heaven and Earth, this was the strongest combat power! The Jiuyou God was not some ordinary Fifth Rank. According to rumors, the Jiuyou God could probably exert stronger combat power.

"What is the intention of the enemy to compile such an outrageous thing?" Li Hao immediately summoned military advisors and think tanks to discuss.

Suddenly, a military advisor looked at the map and said: "General, what if this is true? What if Grand Si Nong really used soldiers like a god and escaped?"

Li Hao looked at the route of crossing the Tianshui River four times and sighed: "If this is true, then it is not using soldiers like a god, but a god using soldiers."

Li Hao's department finally decided to continue attacking Cangyue Pass. He couldn't confirm the authenticity, but attacking as usual was definitely not wrong. Anyway, if this was true, Cangyue Pass would soon have a chain reaction.

At the same time, the Dong Ze department in the northeast also received news from the Ten Yang Legion.

"The Ten Yang Legion has arrived in the 'Beisangling' area, and is expected to arrive at Hong'a City in three days. Please send troops to attack the four towns of Gongye, Fantuo, and Daoyu to meet the Ten Yang Legion... hehe."

Dong Ze looked at this intelligence and couldn't help but hehe.

"Grand Si Nong and the Ten Yang Legion are trapped in Min Land, how could they arrive in the Beisangling area? This must be an enemy conspiracy."

"Order down, this Mechanist Wang Ji has been captured alive by the enemy or has rebelled, and any news he transmits should not be trusted."

"The four cities of Gongye, Fantuo, Daoyu, and Hong'a are afraid of having an ambush, let's attack from another direction." Dong Ze roared.

"Must attack Guiyang Commandery at the fastest speed! Give pressure to the Jiuyou God!"

The main rescue legion was Li Hao's Wu Yao Legion, but Dong Ze had to exert pressure.

At this time, like Li Hao, they didn't believe the so-called intelligence of the Ten Yang Legion.

This made the people of the Ten Yang Legion very depressed.

"Damn it, these old antiques, why don't they believe it?" Long Xiao was excited.

"If you weren't in the Ten Yang Legion, would you believe it?" Chen Shijie asked.

"This..." Long Xiao couldn't help but be speechless.

If he changed his position, he would also find it hard to believe.

After all, it was too outrageous.

"Wang Ji, did you report the secret signal of the Military Realm Yu Qing Division?" Xia Jing asked.

"They cursed me for treason and blacklisted me." Wang Ji said helplessly.

"..."

Xia Jing said melancholically: "Report it again with someone else."

Zhao Xing smiled: "Don't blame them, it's fine, just wait two more days, when the Imperial Court gets news from multiple sources, it will naturally be confirmed."

At the end of the fourth month of the 16th year of Yuanding, the Imperial Court finally confirmed the news of the Jiuyou God's death.

But Zhao Xing came back early.

Because when everyone didn't believe it, two people believed it. One was Ye Ye Yukong. After reading the intelligence and the map, he immediately sent troops to attack Hong'a City, and really found the Ten Yang Legion starting to encircle and attack from the other side.

The second person who believed was Liu Liu Tianning. He became Ye Ye Yukong's Military Si Nong. He believed not because he analyzed anything, but purely because of his intuition, thinking that it was really Zhao Xing's tone.

Thus, Ye Ye Yukong called Shen Luowang, and Liu Liu Tianning, to meet Zhao Xing back.

Not long after, Dong Ze and Li Hao sent troops in a hurry, taking advantage of the chaos to attack wantonly.

Zhao Xing left the area of the Severed Heaven and Earth on the 10th day of the fifth month and successfully returned.

"Finally, damn it, came out!"

At the border, there were broken building ships and large heavy weapons. At this border of the Severed Heaven and Earth, Zhao Xing saw familiar people.

Yun Tiandao, Ji Si, Liu Liu Tianning, Ling Ling Tianchen, Qiu Yuanshan... even Princess Princess Youruo came.

"Welcome Zhao Wang!"

The dense crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

Zhao Xing walked down from the building ship.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting for so long."

Ji Si stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty cannot move, so he specially sent me to welcome you. Please go to see him immediately after returning."

"Good, I understand." Zhao Xing nodded.

After the Witch Moon God and Ji Che cast the Severed Heaven and Earth, they would face a long confrontation.

In the past, every Qi luck emperor who ascended would take the opportunity to strike when the Witch Moon God cast the Severed Heaven and Earth, inserting the Human Emperor Sword into the Witch Moon God's body.

The first one to do this was the Martial Emperor. Only in this way could the difficulty of the Severed Heaven and Earth be reduced. Later people followed suit, making the Witch Moon God get a nickname called Sword Witch.

"I thought you were dead." Yun Tiandao looked at Zhao Xing's return and let out a long sigh of relief. There was a trace of self-blame in his eyes. Obviously, he didn't let Zhao Xing step on the Star Dou Cloud at that time, and he felt guilty.

"I'm not that easy to die, I still have to help you find your family." Zhao Xing laughed, "You don't have to think too much, the Witch Moon God came for me, I definitely couldn't step on your cloud."

"Zhao Xing." Liu Liu Tianning's voice came.

"Teacher." Zhao Xing crossed Yun Tiandao and looked at Liu Liu Tianning.

"It's good to be back." Liu Liu Tianning nodded. "I knew you wouldn't die."

"Thank you, Teacher and General Ye, for your trust."

"Let's go, see Your Majesty first, Your Majesty has been missing you for a long time." Princess Princess Youruo smiled.

"Good."

Yinyou Royal City, inside the Taiji Palace.

Ji Che sat on the throne, with a book of heaven floating above his head, shining with golden light.

When Zhao Xing walked in, the golden light trembled, exposing Ji Che's excited heart.

"Hahahaha, elder brother, you really came back!"

"Crossing the Tianshui River four times, and killing the Jiuyou God, awesome!"

Ji Che seemed to have become cheerful all of a sudden, and the gloomy atmosphere of the entire hall became bright, as if he had returned to the casual emperor he was before.

"I was also lucky." Zhao Xing sighed, "If it weren't for the Great Zhou's long preparation, leaving many spies in the Southern Barbarian, and the firm will of the soldiers, I'm afraid I couldn't have done this."

If it weren't for the Ten Yang Legion, it would be difficult for another army to do this, because the Ten Yang Legion was the earliest army to start 【Impossible Training】, and they were very used to such combat.

Xia Jing, Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, and other senior generals were all old acquaintances. Not to mention being of one mind, the tacit understanding was also full. Without them leading a part of the people, it would be difficult to break the whole into parts and gather into a large army.

"Elder brother, tell me the specific process." Ji Che said excitedly, "I heard the news from mid-April, but I still want to hear you say it again."

"Good, I'll say it again." Zhao Xing smiled, "Around the 20th of the first month, we were trapped in Fengwu City. At that time, I discovered that the Jiuyou God's three armies began to sweep, so I had to cross the river to flee..."

Time passed, and soon it was the 48th year of Yuanding, twenty-two years after Zhao Xing returned.

In Yinyou City, Si Nong Hall.
