Chapter 928

It is not difficult for Bai Lang's military guards to recruit men. In any case, Bai Lang never thought about recruiting particularly powerful subordinates—he only needed subordinates who could form military formations and follow behind him on horseback to charge the lines. Although this is not his true body, the Three Fires Returning to Origin Skill is inherently in line with the "invading like fire" principle of military strategy, so its lethality is only a notch below that of his true body.

The ferocity of charging the lines is far inferior to his true body because the defensive power is certainly not as good as the Thirteen Tai Bao Golden Bell Shield. With some reservations, he can only rely on spear techniques and fire energy to launch attacks—as for this lethality, it is not bad in this world. He also wants to witness the power of the military formations of this world.

Before coming here, Bai Lang had already selected the military formation studies he was interested in—this is directly related to the cultivation of the military school; it would be no problem to learn them all, but whether he can train the soldiers to use them is another matter. Can Bai Lang train soldiers? He still can; he can teach horseback riding and general martial arts, but as for formation training, that is not necessarily the case.

So the formations he mastered were also very simple. "Chaotic formations and arrowhead formations, at most adding horizontal formations. Enough, already enough to break a thousand-man army." Bai Lang raised the recruitment flag and brought in a clerk from the government office to register for him—there were truly many people coming to join the army because this Prince of Jin was a Celestial Expert. Being a lackey for a Celestial Expert... this is an extremely rare opportunity.

Bai Lang didn't think that much, nor did he want to be that troublesome. He just raised the recruitment flag and decided to select the best from the best within three days, recruiting 1,200 guards to finish. Those who came to join the army were indeed all good men. Bai Lang chose those who were literate and were all martial artists—within the border, Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters were already serving in the army and government, and Bai Lang made it clear from the beginning that even if they resigned to join him, he would not accept them.

So 1,200 men happily became Bai Lang's guard. Naturally, he had to teach them some martial arts—the military school naturally has methods to combine different Qi and blood martial arts. Bai Lang gave some pointers, mainly answering their questions about martial arts; isn't that why this group of people joined him?

And just at this moment, bursts of fighting intent came from the sky. This was a Celestial Expert hundreds of miles away challenging Bai Lang. There is no doubt that it was a martial arts Celestial Expert of the northern barbarians—the most numerous Celestial Experts among this group are martial arts Celestial Experts, followed by those who practice Buddhist methods and heterodox paths; there is not a single one who practices Confucianism.

"This group of guys, it seems they are preparing to say hello? Quite enthusiastic, aren't they?" Bai Lang chuckled, grabbed a horizontal blade, didn't bother with a long spear, and turned into fire clouds to spray away.

The Celestial Expert of the border, General Xuanwu, was already on the scene, and two Celestial Experts of the northern barbarians had come. General Xuanwu relied on the military formation and the power of the Great Wu's dragon Qi guided by the pass city to confront the two Celestial Experts. When Bai Lang arrived, General Xuanwu was clearly much more relaxed.

One of these two northern Celestial Experts had a shaved head with small braids, looking like a Mongol, but the other wore a hair bun and a crown, exactly like a man of the Great Wu Dynasty. What was the same was that both of them exuded an unbridled aura, like the vast sky. It was just that one leaned toward the wild sand of the desert under the vast sky, possessing a scorching and dry aura.

And the Celestial Expert dressed in Han attire was like the full moon above the vast sky, possessing the coldness of a lonely moon over the Heavenly Mountains. General Xuanwu here had already manifested the image of the Xuanwu with a tortoise and snake entwined, and there were even black waves appearing out of thin air, wave after wave outside the city, never stopping. The battlefield was divided into three, but with the appearance of Bai Lang, the world was divided into four.

Bai Lang here had fire clouds rolling, and red, transparent flames were burning fiercely around his entire body. This was the external manifestation of his operation of the Three Fires Returning to Origin Skill—originally, there was no need for this, but if a Celestial Expert appears without this scene, it would be very embarrassing. So the celestial phenomena must change, and special effects must appear around the human body; otherwise, wouldn't he be the same as those martial artists?

"Your Highness, Prince of Jin." That guy dressed in Han attire—Bai Lang knew his name; Celestial Experts, especially those who have been famous for a long time, have names that spread throughout the world. "Wulianghatai, what are you and Chilaowen doing here? Preparing to give a gift to this old man to congratulate me on becoming a border king?" Bai Lang said nonchalantly.

"Gifts are of course there, but first let's say hello to the Prince!" That rough Mongol-dressed Chilaowen spoke standard Mandarin without the slightest dialect accent. While speaking, he reached out and grabbed. On the spot, the strong wind blew the yellow sand, and the earth under the vast sky was dark, like a sandstorm sweeping through.

This wind and sand were like countless blades; if they swept over, a person would become a skeleton. And the wind twisted into a huge palm and five fingers, grabbing toward the sickly Prince of Jin, who was still wrapped in fur and looking like a loafer. He even had time to cough. However, within three feet of the Prince, it was calm and peaceful, not even a grain of sand was raised, only the burning, twisted air.

"A show of force, or are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?" Bai Lang raised his hand. This body of his spontaneously expressed delicacy—it wouldn't do to say a sickly prince was mighty and heroic. His distinct, delicate, and slender fingers formed a fist, and he tapped lightly as if knocking on a door. Immediately, fire clouds surged, and the red, transparent flames around him turned into the white light of a scorching sun. Just like that, thousands of white light beams blasted out.

"Great Sun Golden Light; let's just call this move 'Red Sun Rising'," Bai Lang said lightly. The light beams killed a large number of transparent holes in the sandstorm, and then the light refracted and gathered directly at one point. This point was the palm of the huge hand formed by the wind and sand—there was a person inside, and it was indeed Chilaowen.

This guy, who looked like a middle-aged Mongol, also laughed loudly. Seeing that the palm could not withstand the blow of the gathered light, he immediately clenched his right fist and smashed it at the point where the light gathered. With a boom, the air waves surged, and only the three Celestial Experts remained unmoved. "A little bit of skill, but this wild sand cannot be beaten with fists; you'd better use a weapon."

Following Bai Lang's words, Chilaowen directly pulled out a red long blade, and the dry aura on the field became heavier, as if standing in the middle of an endless yellow sand desert. Bai Lang also slowly pulled out his blade—he was not that careless; if the opponent uses a weapon and he doesn't, that would be a fool. His Nishuihan horizontal blade was also pulled out, and both sides prepared to fight and compete.

General Xuanwu's attention was on Wulianghatai, but the eyes of these two were watching the battle between Bai Lang and Chilaowen. Stones from other mountains can serve to polish the jade of this one; the battle between two Celestial Experts is also of great help to other Celestial Experts.
