Chapter 360: The Righteous Path is Actually Quite Fun (Three updates, asking for monthly tickets!)

The Black Wind Tiger Demon groaned, suffering from the collapse of the Night Shadow, and his fierce offensive weakened a lot.

Meng Zizhong wanted to counterattack, but tried various means, all of which failed.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon's attainments in close combat were very deep, and his martial arts were clearly a cut above Meng Zizhong's.

Meng Zizhong's Golden Core was still dim and did not recover because of the close combat.

After thinking about it, Meng Zizhong had no choice but to use a fierce hammer to temporarily force back the Black Wind Tiger Demon, and then quickly turned his direction and jumped into the cultivator army formation.

Art of War—Soldiers value speed!

Art of War—Head and tail correspond!

Two rounds of military tactics covered it, immediately causing the cultivator army's speed to skyrocket, and the tacit understanding of cooperation was more than five times higher than before.

The cultivator army had already formed a moving formation, and now the speed skyrocketed, the tacit understanding skyrocketed, making the power of the moving formation rise to seven or eight times.

A battle formation suddenly became equivalent to at least seven battle formations superimposed.

The battle formation was like a flood, flowing across the earth, quickly wrapping around the Black Wind Tiger Demon.

Meng Zizhong acted as the main general of the formation heart. This time he was high-spirited, his spirit was greatly shaken, and he took the initiative to meet the Black Wind Tiger Demon.

Bang bang bang!

The two launched a fierce confrontation again, but the situation was completely reversed, changing to Meng Zizhong firmly occupying the upper hand, with strength, offensive, and defensive capabilities all leading the Black Wind Tiger Demon.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon was at a disadvantage, and in a short time, he was wounded several times. Fortunately, the Meat Tank Blood Swallowing Technique cooperated with his demon beast body, and his recovery ability was sufficient, so he did not lose.

However, he could maintain the situation, but other demon cultivators could not.

Human cultivators launched a large-scale counterattack and quickly killed the demon cultivators.

"Run, run quickly!"

"Can't stop it, Great King, take care of yourself!"

"Waa waa..."

Demon cultivators wailed, demon cultivators shouted, and they turned and ran one after another.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon did not have military tactics, and he did not discipline or train the demon cultivators on weekdays. Although these demon cultivators were generally fierce individually, they were essentially a mob fighting on their own.

It is okay to fight a smooth battle, but once it is against the wind, like now, the weak essence is immediately exposed.

The demon cultivators fled, and the human cultivators did not pursue, but under Meng Zizhong's order, like a millstone, they constantly ground the Black Wind Tiger Demon.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon's pressure soared several times!

He roared and fought bloody battles.

The confrontation at the Golden Core level is not something ordinary cultivators can resist. Many people were affected and died tragically in the formation.

High in the clouds.

Zhu Xuanji and the Magistrate were invisible and hidden, always looking down at the battlefield coldly.

Seeing this, Zhu Xuanji snorted coldly, displeased: "What a Meng Zizhong, deliberately retaining the Meng family backbone, only consuming ordinary cultivators, to prepare for his future replenishment of the garrison."

Mount Wuyin mountainside.

Ning Zhuo and others did not have Zhu Xuanji's vision and could not see Meng Zizhong's small movements.

Even so, Ning Zhuo secretly felt it was enjoyable.

Leading troops is one of the hundred arts of cultivation, corresponding to being an official.

Ning Zhuo had learned about the existence of military tactics in books and periodicals, and also knew many classic military tactics. Today, seeing it with his own eyes and corresponding it with the knowledge in his mind, he gained more.

"Black Wind Tiger Demon, you have caused trouble for many years, today I, Meng Zizhong, for the people and the country, will kill you!" Meng Zizhong's momentum was huge, his mouth burst with thunder, beating the Black Wind Tiger Demon so he couldn't lift his head.

Sun Lingtong used his talent to watch the battle, and because the Black Wind Tiger Demon was extremely weak, he finally saw the truth: "This Black Tiger is not going to make it, the power in his body is about to dry up and cannot be supplied."

"We have to act!" Sun Lingtong reminded.

The Fox God was slightly surprised.

Ning Zhuo nodded slightly, smiled, and looked at the Fox God: "Fox God, listen to the order, quickly use your means to pick up the Black Wind Tiger Demon back to the mountain."

The Fox God was shocked, his face turned pale: "Want me to help the Black Wind Tiger Demon?"

Ning Zhuo snorted coldly: "The Black Wind Tiger Demon is our prey, and Meng Zizhong is the same."

Hearing this, the Fox God's heart swayed, his red lips opened slightly, full of hesitation.

If he acted, he would inevitably offend Meng Zizhong greatly. The Fox God didn't care much about Meng Zizhong alone, the key was the Meng family.

Ning Zhuo's eyes were cold: "Fox God, you have received the imperial decree, and you still want to be two-faced? Don't ruin yourself!"

The Fox God's heart was cold, realizing that he had already been involved in the political struggle between the Zhu family and the Meng family.

Even if he was a Golden Core-level existence on Mount Wuyin, he dared not get involved in such a confrontation. If his luck was slightly bad, he would become a sacrifice, crushed into slag in the confrontation and grinding between the two major forces.

But as Ning Zhuo said, does he still have a way out?

No!

If he doesn't act now, I'm afraid he will suffer before the Black Wind Tiger Demon, and it's hard to say.

Talent—Cloud Cover and Mist Surround.

The Fox God gritted his teeth, his face full of gloom, and finally acted.

For a time, mountain mist rose, covering the entire Mount Wuyin, and then quickly spread, covering the battlefield.

The thick fog rolled, rolled up the Black Wind Tiger Demon, and broke away from the battle formation.

Meng Zizhong had thought about acting to stop it, but the Black Wind Tiger Demon attacked with all his strength, entangled him to death, leaving him no time to take care of other things.

The remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators, although blessed by the battle formation, lacked means and could not resist the rolling of the thick fog.

The Fox God succeeded easily.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon was saved, drilled into Mount Wuyin, and at the same time shouted: "Fox God, thank you for helping me, I will definitely repay this life-saving grace today!"

Meng Zizhong was manipulating the battle formation at this time, blowing away the mountain mist in front of him, looking at the towering Mount Wuyin, and shouted angrily: "Fox God, you are unworthy of being the Righteous God sealed by the Southern Kingdom, actually helping a demon."

The Fox God snorted coldly, broke the jar and smashed it, without Ning Zhuo's order, and used the mountain mist to roll up many human cultivators and sent them into Mount Wuyin.

"General, save me!"

"Ah..."

The human cultivators fell into chaos, they broke away from the battle formation, their strength returned to before, and many were killed by the demon cultivators who fled into the mountain.

There were also many who were in a bitter battle, with no one to save them, and they would definitely lose their lives.

Meng Zizhong originally saw the Mountain God act to rescue the Black Wind Tiger Demon, and had the heart to withdraw the army.

But the situation now made it impossible for him to withdraw.

If he really abandoned his subordinates and left alone, he would definitely be considered a deserter. Not only would his reputation be ruined, but he would definitely be severely punished by the official, and the position of the main general of Jade Steel Town would definitely not be kept.

This would undoubtedly greatly damage the Meng family's interests here.

And from Meng Zizhong's inner feelings, he was also unwilling to abandon his subordinates, especially the many backbones of the Meng family. He trained his troops very diligently, lived together day and night, paid countless efforts and time, and already had deep feelings.

As the saying goes, do not pursue a desperate enemy, Meng Zizhong naturally understood this truth.

But he had no choice, and could only carry the long-handled war hammer and kill into Mount Wuyin.

To his surprise, after he entered the mountain, he was not intercepted by the Fox God, but successfully chased to the Shanxi Valley and killed the Black Wind Tiger Demon again.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon got a chance to breathe, and his combat power recovered a lot.

He confronted Meng Zizhong again.

Meng Zizhong had no battle formation assistance and was no longer as majestic as before. But the Black Wind Tiger Demon was also quite weak, and the two fought to a draw.

The feeling of exhaustion became more and more intense, and the Black Wind Tiger Demon finally sacrificed his last trump card.

A divine seal was thrown out by him and held above his head.

Under the blessing of the divine seal, the Black Wind Tiger Demon's combat power skyrocketed, killing Meng Zizhong and retreating steadily.

Before on the battlefield outside the mountain, this divine seal had no effect. Now, the Black Wind Tiger Demon was in Mount Wuyin, and with the help of his blood relationship, he triggered part of the power of the divine seal and completely occupied the upper hand.

"Lost!" Meng Zizhong realized that the situation was difficult to recover, and could only drag the war hammer and flee outside the mountain.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon chased relentlessly, and after catching up with Meng Zizhong, he severely wounded him.

Meng Zizhong fell to the ground, but was not panicked. At this time, the distance was enough, and he decisively ignited the Escape Talisman and teleported to the outside of the mountain quickly.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon did not dare to chase outside the mountain.

The divine seal had no effect outside the mountain.

Just when he wanted to turn his head and slaughter the human cultivators trapped in the mountain to vent his anger, Zhu Xuanji descended from the sky.

This Divine Catcher of the Southern Bean Kingdom pressed down with one finger, directly piercing the Black Wind Tiger Demon's head.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon tried his best to resist, but the divine seal was useless, and he was extremely exhausted and very weak, unable to resist Zhu Xuanji's majestic giant force.

Pfft.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon's head was crushed.

The headless corpse swayed a few times, fell to the ground with a bang, and did not move.

Dead.

Meng Zizhong, who was preparing to flee, saw this scene and suddenly showed a look of surprise.

He recognized Zhu Xuanji and shouted loudly: "Divine Catcher Zhu!"

Zhu Xuanji did not give him a good face, his eyes full of scrutiny: "Meng Zizhong, you led the army to expedition without authorization, were incompetent in combat, caused heavy casualties to the Jade Steel Mountain garrison, and even fled in defeat, without any dignity of a martial general of the Southern Bean Kingdom!"

"Do you know your crime?"

Meng Zizhong's face became very ugly, his mouth opened wide, his Adam's apple rolled, wanting to say something, but finally just lowered his head and replied in a muffled voice: "The end general knows his crime."

Ning Zhuo looked at the Fox God: "Why don't you go quickly?"

The Fox God turned into mountain mist, disappeared in place, and appeared in front of Zhu Xuanji in the next breath.

He bowed deeply and took the initiative to plead guilty.

Zhu Xuanji's expression was severe, reprimanded him for his crimes, and beat him hard before letting him go.

Next, the Fox God personally acted to collect the remaining soldiers of the human cultivators in the mountain.

Zhu Xuanji escorted Meng Zizhong, led the remaining garrison, returned to Jade Steel Mountain, and presided over the situation.

The crime of harboring bandits is too heavy, which is easy to trigger a comprehensive confrontation between the Zhu family and the Meng family. But Meng Zizhong's defeat and flight this time was completely guilty, making him unable to continue to serve as the mayor of Jade Steel Mountain.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong met privately and, according to the previous agreement, participated in the final division.

Because he was responsible for negotiating with the Fox God before and had a profit, the final division of the spoils only accounted for a small share.

In the end, Ning Zhuo obtained many residual parts of the demon cultivators, among which there was a tiger bone, originating from the Black Wind Tiger Demon, reaching the Golden Core level.

Besides that, it was the division of the output of Jade Steel Mountain.

He sent a letter back to Ning Jiufan of the Ning family through the royal channel, explaining the situation, and temporarily arranged for Ning Youfu as a representative to enter Jade Steel Mountain.

Although this former family elder was quite old, he was experienced and steady, and was a more suitable candidate for foreign assignment.

At this point, this struggle surrounding Mount Wuyin could be considered settled.

Sun and Ning took the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon and continued their journey.

Inside the dragon head cabin, Sun Lingtong felt more and more comfortable as he pondered, looking at Ning Zhuo, his eyes shining: "The righteous path is actually quite fun."

"We gained the most, but contributed very little. Such good things, no matter how many times they come, are not too many!"
