Chapter 360

The Black Wind Tiger Demon groaned, suffering the consequences of the Night Shadow's collapse, and its fierce offensive weakened significantly.

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

The Black Wind Tiger Demon's close-quarters combat attainments were very profound, and its martial arts were obviously a cut above Meng Zizhong's.

Meng Zizhong's Jin Dan was still dim and did not recover because of the close-quarters 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, then quickly changed direction and leapt into the cultivator army formation.

Military strategy—Speed is the essence of war!

Military strategy—Head and tail respond to each other!

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

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

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

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

Meng Zizhong acted as the main general at the center of the formation; this time he was in high spirits, his spirit was greatly boosted, and he took the initiative to meet the Black Wind Tiger Demon.

Bang, bang, bang!

The two launched a fierce clash again, however, the situation was completely reversed, changing to Meng Zizhong firmly occupying the upper hand, with his 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, it suffered several wounds; fortunately, the Flesh-Swallowing demonic art cooperated with its demon beast body, and its recovery ability was sufficient, so it did not fall into defeat.

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

Human cultivators launched a large-scale counterattack, rapidly slaughtering the demon cultivators.

"Run, run quickly!"

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

"Waa, waa..."

Some demon cultivators wailed, some demon cultivators shouted, and they all turned around and ran.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon did not have military strategy to rely on, and in daily life, it did not discipline or train the demon cultivators. Although these demon cultivators generally had strong individual strength, in essence, they were still a mob fighting on their own.

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

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

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

It roared and fought bloody battles.

The clash of the Jin Dan level is not something ordinary cultivators can resist. Many people were affected and died miserably in the formation.

High in the clouds.

Zhu Xuanji and the Prefect of Xuan Magnetic were invisible and had been coldly overlooking the battlefield.

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.

Unlike Ning Zhuo and others did not have Zhu Xuanji's keen eyes to see Meng Zizhong's small actions.

Even so, Unlike Ning Zhuo secretly called it satisfying.

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

Unlike Ning Zhuo had learned of the existence of military strategy in classics and books, and also knew many classic military strategies. Seeing it with his own eyes today, and corresponding it with the knowledge in his mind, he gained more.

"Black Wind Tiger Demon, you have brought disaster for many years; today I, Meng Zizhong, for the sake of the people and the country, will kill you!" Meng Zizhong's momentum was vast, his mouth blooming with spring thunder, beating the Black Wind Tiger Demon until it could not lift its head.

Sun Lingtong used his natural talent to watch the battle, and at this moment, because the Black Wind Tiger Demon was extremely weak, he finally saw its bottom line: "This black tiger is finished, the cultivation in its body is about to dry up and cannot be supplied."

"We are about to make a move!" Sun Lingtong reminded.

The Fox God was slightly startled.

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded slightly, with a smile on his face, looking at the Fox God: "Fox God, obey the order, quickly unleash your means to meet the Black Wind Tiger Demon back to the mountain."

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

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

Hearing this, the Fox God's mind swayed, his red lips parted slightly, his face full of hesitation.

If he made a move, he would inevitably offend Meng Zizhong greatly. The Fox God did not care too much about Meng Zizhong alone; the key was the Meng family.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's gaze was cold: "Fox God, you have received the imperial decree, do you still want to be two-faced? Do not 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 is a Jin Dan-level existence on Mount Wuyin, he does not dare to get involved in such a struggle. If his luck is slightly bad, he will become a sacrificial victim, crushed into slag in the confrontation and grinding between the two major forces.

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

No!

If he does not make a move now, I am afraid he will suffer before the Black Wind Tiger Demon, and it is not certain.

Natural talent—Clouds Covering and Mist Winding.

The Fox God gritted his teeth, his face full of gloom, and finally made a move.

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

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

It is not that Meng Zizhong did not think about making a move to stop it, but the Black Wind Tiger Demon unleashed its full strength, tightly entangling him, leaving him no time to take care of other things.

Other Foundation Establishment cultivators, although blessed by the battle formation, lacked means and found it difficult to resist the sweeping 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 manipulated 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 a righteous god sealed by the Southern Kingdom, actually helping a demon."

The Fox God snorted coldly, breaking the jar and letting it break, without needing Unlike Ning Zhuo's order, and used the mountain mist to sweep up many human cultivators and send 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 the past, and many were killed by the demon cultivators who fled into the mountain.

There were also many who fell into bitter battles, with no one to save them, and they would surely lose their lives.

Meng Zizhong originally saw the Mountain God make a move to rescue the Black Wind Tiger Demon, and had the heart to withdraw his troops.

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

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

This would undoubtedly greatly damage the Meng family's interests in this place.

And in terms of 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.

There is a saying that a cornered enemy should not be pursued; Meng Zizhong naturally knows this truth.

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

To his surprise, after entering the mountain, he was not intercepted by the Fox God, but successfully chased to the valley of the mountain, and killed his way in front of the Black Wind Tiger Demon again.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon got a chance to catch its breath, and its combat power recovered a lot.

It clashed with Meng Zizhong again.

Meng Zizhong had no battle formation assistance and no longer had his previous prestige. But the Black Wind Tiger Demon was also quite weak, and the two sides fought to a draw.

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

A divine seal was thrown out by it, hovering above its head.

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

Earlier on the battlefield outside the mountain, this divine seal had no effect. Now, the Black Wind Tiger Demon is in Mount Wuyin, and with the identity of blood kinship, it draws on part of the power of the divine seal, completely occupying the upper hand.

"Defeated!" Meng Zizhong realized that the situation was difficult to recover, so he had to drag his war hammer and flee outside the mountain.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon chased closely, and after catching up with Meng Zizhong, it severely injured him.

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

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

The divine seal does not work outside the mountain.

Just as it wanted to turn its head and slaughter the human cultivators trapped in the mountain to vent its anger, Zhu Xuanji descended from the sky.

This divine catcher of the Nandou Kingdom pressed down with one finger, directly pointing through the head of the Black Wind Tiger Demon.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon tried its best to resist, but the divine seal was ineffective, and it was extremely exhausted and very weak, unable to resist Zhu Xuanji's vigorous giant strength at all.

Pfft.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon's head was shattered.

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 immediately showed surprise.

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

Zhu Xuanji did not give him a good look, his gaze carrying 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 after being defeated, having no dignity as a Nandou Kingdom martial general!"

"Do you know your crime?"

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

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

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

He bowed deeply and took the initiative to plead guilty.

Zhu Xuanji's expression was severe, rebuking him for his crimes and beating him fiercely before letting him go.

Next, it was the Fox God who personally made a move to collect the remnants of the human cultivators in the mountain.

Zhu Xuanji escorted Meng Zizhong and led the remnants of the garrison back to Jade Steel Mountain to preside over the situation.

The crime of harboring bandits to increase one's own importance is too heavy and easily triggers a full-scale confrontation between the Zhu family and the Meng family. But Meng Zizhong's defeat and escape this time is completely enough to convict him, making him unable to continue to serve as the garrison of Jade Steel Mountain.

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

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

In the end, Unlike Ning Zhuo obtained many remnant parts of demon cultivators, among which there was a set of tiger bones, originating from the Black Wind Tiger Demon, reaching the Jin Dan level.

Besides this, 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 to be the representative to enter Jade Steel Mountain.

Although this former family elder was quite old, he was experienced and steady, making him a relatively suitable candidate for an external 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 pondered and felt more comfortable, looking at Unlike 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!"
