Chapter 862: Surprise Attack

Huang Gun heard these words and was also quite moved, saying: "Currently, our Jiepai Pass possesses nearly three thousand various Warships and over fifty thousand Immortal Dao cultivators. Coupled with all you Immortals and Fairies, if we take this opportunity to send out troops, we might truly achieve excellent results."

Guiling Shengmu was also a decisive person, saying: "Good. Since Old General Huang also agrees, then we shall dispatch troops immediately."

"Good!"

Zhao Gongming and the other four naturally had no objections; on the contrary, they were all eager to try.

……

One hundred miles in front of Jiepai Pass.

The seven-million-strong Xiqi army was in the midst of setting up camp.

When the armies of the Primordial World march, they naturally do not need tents; they simply set up a super-large Array Formation to keep out wind and rain and maintain a constant temperature. Of course, it also possesses a certain degree of defensive capability.

During the period of military operations, the army does not need sleep, using meditation as a substitute, with armor and weapons never leaving their bodies.

In this way, if there is any emergency, they can react rapidly.

Perhaps due to some arrogance, from Jiang Ziya down to the lowest-ranking soldiers, none had ever imagined that the Yin-Shang army would break out of the pass to launch a surprise attack, and thus they appeared very lax while setting up camp.

The Array Formation had not yet been set up, and the soldiers were gathered together in twos and threes, chatting idly.

The commander's tent.

Jiang Ziya, Randeng, and others were receiving Lingji and four other Golden Immortals of Buddhism who had rushed over from the West.

However, in Buddhism, Golden Immortals are not called Golden Immortals, but Arhats.

Great Luo Golden Immortals are, instead, Bodhisattvas.

A Quasi-Saint can be called a Fo.

Lingji, a personal disciple of Zhunti Daoren, is at the Golden Immortal Late Stage and is also the future Lingji Bodhisattva.

Jiang Ziya smiled happily and said: "The five Immortals have come from afar; you have had a hard journey. Later, this poor Daoist will hold a banquet to welcome you. In the future, the campaign against Shang will still rely heavily on the five of you."

Lingji did not dare to be arrogant and said modestly: "With all you Chan Sect senior brothers here, our brothers can just help out with minor tasks."

At this moment, a monk beside him with a face full of flesh and a faint 'Wang' character on his forehead stretched out his scarlet, massive tongue to lick his lips and said: "Prime Minister, I wonder when we shall dispatch troops? If we dispatch troops, this poor monk is willing to serve as the vanguard. With one bite, I can swal... er, be the first to charge into Jiepai Pass."

The other three monks all wore expressions of anticipation.

Jiang Ziya's expression stiffened slightly.

Randeng Daoren's expression remained unchanged, but Yunzhongzi and the others all revealed looks of disdain one after another.

Lingji is also a creature born of Heaven and Earth.

But the other four monks were all Golden Immortal Demons that Zhunti Daoren had forcibly subdued.

These Demon Golden Immortals had experienced the Witch-Demon War and worshipped the law of the jungle. Back then, in the Primordial World, they did not know how many living beings they had devoured, among which included the Human Race.

It is just a pity that the West is sparsely populated, and after being subdued by Zhunti Daoren, they had no way to go out and forage for food.

Now that they had finally come out for a trip, their gluttony was immediately stirred up.

Lingji's expression remained unchanged, still smiling.

Jiang Ziya was also a ruthless person; he laughed heartily and said: "If the Immortal is willing to serve as the vanguard, this poor Daoist naturally desires nothing more. However, Jiepai Pass also has experts from the Jie Sect, so you still need to be a bit careful."

Although he did not give a clear answer, it could be considered a tacit agreement.

"Good..."

The Wang-character Arhat had just said the word 'good' when Randeng Daoren suddenly stood up and quickly took out the Coffin Lantern, stimulating a large curtain of fire that wrapped around Jiang Ziya as well.

Yunzhongzi and the others also had their expressions change drastically, and they all took out their Innate Spiritual Treasures while simultaneously activating their protective dharma robes.

But they were, after all, a step too late.

Just as the protective dharma robes appeared and before the Innate Spiritual Treasures could be activated, five terrifying, destructive Immortal Lights—one large and four small—completely submerged the commander's tent, and everything within a radius of more than ten miles was instantly reduced to powder.

Even the ground sank directly by several thousand meters.

Boom—!

Accompanied by the terrifying sound of the explosion, thick dust and smoke shot up into the sky.

More than ten figures rushed out from the thick dust and smoke, each of them pale-faced and in a wretched state. As soon as they rushed out, Guiling Shengmu and the other four attacked again.

This time, they all used Innate Spiritual Treasures.

This surprise attack was aimed at killing the opponent's Golden Immortals, so naturally, they had to use Innate Spiritual Treasures.

To tell the truth, when they saw more than ten figures rush out, Guiling Shengmu and the others were also stunned.

Besides the Immortals of the Chan Sect, there were actually five Buddhist Golden Immortal Arhats present.

Although surprised, their actions did not stop.

Guiling Shengmu sacrificed the Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Sun-Moon Pearl. This pearl was the size of a fist, half like a blazing great sun and half like the cold Taiyin, emitting extremely dense power of the sun and Taiyin.

The Sun-Moon Pearl fell like a meteor and instantly smashed into Randeng Daoren.

Although Randeng Daoren had been prepared, he was still hit squarely. He let out a muffled groan, and his body was smashed flying for several thousand miles, disappearing into the horizon like a streak of light.

Under the Sun-Moon Pearl, Randeng Daoren did not have to worry about his life.

But Jiang Ziya was the unlucky one.

Please... you.... bookmark 6... 9... book....!

Even though he was only grazed by the aura of the Sun-Moon Pearl, more than half of his body exploded directly, and he fell back into the newly formed abyss while screaming.

Zhao Gongming naturally used the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls. This time, he did not use them in a concentrated manner, but rather in groups of four, attacking Yunzhongzi, Juliusun, Huanglong Zhenren, Lingbao Dafa Shi, Daoxing Tianzun, and Lingji, respectively.

Huoling Shengmu sacrificed the Golden Haze Crown, which bloomed with brilliant rays of haze.

This haze was like long needles; it was a group-attack Spirit Treasure, and it was also a Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure. Not to mention Lingji and the others, even Yunzhongzi and his group could not help but close their eyes.

And this closing of the eyes was exactly when they were struck by Zhao Gongming.

Blooming with haze to sting people's eyes was merely one of the functions of the Golden Haze Crown.

The greatest function of the Golden Haze Crown was its ability to release Three Thousand Fire Dragon Soldiers.

They were a thousand zhang long, all condensed from Samadhi True Fire, radiating brilliant light and terrifying heat.

Almost in an instant, the entire Heaven and Earth seemed to have been brought to a boil.

Three thousand fire dragons formed the Great Five Elements Fire Dragon Array, trapping the four Golden Immortals of Buddhism within it.

Suddenly, they were as if they had fallen into an endless purgatory.

The Samadhi True Fire burns everything, and is even capable of igniting a person's magic power; the three thousand fire dragons roared, and very quickly ignited the four Buddhist Golden Immortals, who were burning from the inside out.

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Miserable screams echoed between Heaven and Earth.

Han Zhixian urged the mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Wind Bag, spewing a massive gust of black wind toward the four Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

This black wind is named Soul-Dissolving Shenfeng; it can not only dissolve a person's physical body, but can also scatter the Primordial Spirit, and is one of the most terrifying divine winds in Heaven and Earth.

As for Caiyun Xianzi, she had once sacrificed the Eye-Piercing Pearl, striking it toward one of the Golden Immortals.

The Eye-Piercing Pearl, a mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, is specialized in striking people's eyes.

This Chan Sect Golden Immortal, having been blown by the Soul-Dissolving Shenfeng, was already in imminent danger and could only barely protect himself; thus, facing the Eye-Piercing Pearl, he did not discover it at all, let alone defend against it.

Ah!

Only a miserable scream was heard as the Eye-Piercing Pearl struck in through his left eye and burst out from the back of his head.

In a muddled state, his True Spirit ascended the Investiture of the Gods.

"Evil spawn!"

Just at this moment, an angry shout descended from the sky like the might of the Heavenly Dao, directly shattering the Great Five Elements Fire Dragon Array.

It was Zhunti Daoren who could not help but make a move.

Although these four Golden Immortals were all forcibly subdued by him and did not have very high status within the sect, they were, after all, four Golden Immortals; he could not bear to see them perish.

Therefore, he could not help but make a move.

However, Zhunti Daoren also minded his measure, merely shattering the Great Five Elements Fire Dragon Array without harming Huoling Shengmu.

After all, this Huoling Shengmu is the direct disciple of Duobao Daoren, and can also be called the number one person among the third-generation disciples of the Jie Sect; she is also quite valued by Tongtian Jiaozhu in daily life. (End of chapter)
