Chapter 199: Lulong Army
Sima Chengzhen's assassination was ruthless and decisive. As the Heavenly Master, he launched a surprise attack, giving the Lulong Army no chance to react. Seeing the towering Five Mountains pressing down on their heads, the Tianfu Tianfu Zhenfu Treasure Carriage transformed into a palace.
Tian Chengsi roared: "Lulong Army! Form the array!"
The Lulong Army captains roared in unison. Even without war drums to organize the formation, the Lulong Army's military cultivators gathered like a black torrent. They turned their horses and formed a vanguard array according to their cultivation levels.
Tian Chengsi stood at the very front, the aura of nearly a hundred people connected as one. The rolling blood energy and battle energy gathered from the very end of the vanguard array toward the front, condensing on the sharpest arrowhead.
Infinite demonic Qi gathered on Tian Chengsi, causing his figure to suddenly grow three feet taller, and together with the Boshou he was riding, he expanded into a tall war demon.
The rolling blood energy of nearly a hundred people and the smoke and dust under the hooves of the horses merged into a very thick, dark black, dark red, and blood-colored wolf-smoke dust pillar, rushing straight into the sky, dragging on top of the vanguard array, facing the Tianfu Tianfu Zhenfu Treasure Carriage that was guarding them.
Tian Chengsi waved a white-bone beast-headed gold-swallowing long spear in his right hand. The Qiongqi beast, like a tiger and a wolf, erupted with powerful baleful Qi. The Qiongqi spat out blood-colored light mist, wrapping around the three-foot-long spear tip.
He used all his strength to wave the long spear, gathering all the blood energy and power of the knights onto the spear tip wrapped in blood light.
The proud and fierce soldiers of the Lulong Army gathered all their strength onto that point of the spear tip when charging. The vanguard array gathered all the knights' blood energy toward the front, onto Tian Chengsi, who was the vanguard array.
This all-out strike of nearly a hundred people was thrust out on the spear tip...
A terrifying sound of wind breaking came from heaven and earth. In the dark night, a blood light that was extremely dazzling tore through the night sky, and it could even be faintly detected by the observers on the Chang'an city wall. The rolling wolf-smoke blood energy merged into this blood light, and the demonic Qi and blood light cultivated by the Lulong Army all gathered in this spear thrust.
The blood light was agitated by the spear energy into a vanguard-shaped Qi energy, which stabbed at the True Form of the Five Mountains, and with An Lushan's angry roar, the four arms shook together to overturn the Five Mountains Divine Peak True Form.
The overflowing aftermath emitted rolling thunder sounds. In an instant, within a radius of ten miles, I don't know how many living beings were shaken to death.
The chirping of insects in the night suddenly disappeared at this moment!
Sima Chengzhen's expression gradually became solemn. A demon general like An Lushan, who also practiced military arts, could fight Yin Spirits with Yin Spirits, and fight Primordial Spirits with Primordial Spirits under the blessing of the army array—this was not an empty word. If it weren't for this, An Lushan wouldn't have been so fierce in Hebei.
What he relied on was the ten thousand elite Northern Army under his command.
Relying on this to form an array, even Sima Chengzhen would have to retreat three feet.
The reason he was determined to come and assassinate was to take advantage of the once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity when An Lushan came to Chang'an for the banquet and couldn't bring too many elites, to get rid of this demon!
But his sure-to-succeed surprise attack was blocked by the imperial-bestowed treasure carriage for the most part.
Now, if he let that team of cavalry join An Lushan, with An Lushan's cultivation as the main general, this time, he really wouldn't be able to kill An Lushan.
The five mountains the size of a palm swung by Sima Chengzhen, although the momentum was much smaller, the power was more concentrated, smashing on An Lushan's four arms, rawly smashing one arm into mud.
The other arms were also shaken until the tiger's mouths cracked, before they could barely receive this blow.
Seeing the army master injured, the nearly a hundred elite Lulong Army cavalry guards had red eyes. They immediately rushed up frantically, wanting to fight Sima Chengzhen to the death.
"Kill!" After shaking the True Form of the Five Mountains, the Lulong Army led by Tian Chengsi became even crazier. He roared: "I don't know how many cultivators like you I've killed. Among the Great Tang armies, my Lulong Army has the number one killing power!"
"The Xi King Li Riyue, a Yin Spirit wizard, was also dismembered by my Lulong Army of 37,500 people in Northern Liaoning!"
"In this world, the Lulong Army has the number one killing power, the Lulong Army has the number one war merit, and the number of people killed by the Lulong Army is also the number one in the world! The countless women I've raided in the northern border... could there be your mother among them?"
"Hahaha... tell your mother to wash clean and wait for us, this group of wild fathers!" The crazy and near-manic shouting echoed through heaven and earth.
"Change formation!" With a loud roar, the vanguard array turned into a crescent array.
It faintly surrounded Sima Chengzhen.
The arrogant Lulong Army waved streaks of sword light, sweeping across the sky, whistling toward Sima Chengzhen in mid-air. Although the streaks of vanguard energy dispersed their power, they still had the ability of Golden Core divine abilities. The sharpness was unstoppable, full of murderous intent and killing intent.
The Lulong Army military demonic cultivators' blood energy surged, and the huge blood energy of their mounts merged with the demonic Qi in their bodies, releasing it without reservation, turning into black-red smoke clouds lingering outside their armor, boiling on their bodies.
Gradually, behind these nearly a hundred knights, a demon phantom that was a hundred zhang tall, with eight arms waving, hideous and terrifying, but with heavy blood light on its face, making it impossible to see clearly, as if supporting heaven and earth, was condensed.
The demon opened its eight arms and smashed down fiercely toward Sima Chengzhen in mid-air.
The surrounding mountain rocks were crushed into powder by the demon, and the broken stones collapsed...
Gray dust filled the air, and wolf-smoke blood dust rushed into the sky, obscuring the bright Chang'an stars above their heads. The overflowing murderous intent terrified the living beings within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the nearby villages, whether people or various livestock, looked at this place in panic and unease.
A streak of silk turned into a hundred-zhang-long scroll, rolling up a blank space.
Having lost the True Form of the Five Mountains, Sima Chengzhen still had a 'picture' in his hand. The blank scroll circled the demon phantom, and the powerful imprisonment force firmly bound the demon.
At this time, a divine peak that was pressing on An Lushan rolled back.
The edge of the cliff was as sharp as a sword, like an axe, hacking down at the Lulong Army knights. In an instant, several people turned into flesh and mud, and their tough bodies were like rotten meat under the phantom of the divine peak.
"Taihua True Form!" Sima Chengzhen pushed his hands as if pushing open a heavy door, and the True Form of Taihua Peak crashed toward the demon phantom. With a roar, the demon phantom was shattered, and the nearly a hundred elite Lulong Army demonic cultivators spat out blood mixed with visceral fragments in unison.
These tenacious and powerful demonic cultivators still rushed toward An Lushan, wanting to join the army master.
At this time, the Daizong True Form also rolled back. The divine peak, the head of the Five Mountains, set off a roar like thunder. The rolling momentum, like a mountain collapse, made the proud and fierce knights who were shouting earlier tremble in their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and lungs. The huge sound broke the demonic Qi on their bodies, and even the fighting spirit and determination, the aura connected by the array, was interrupted by Taihua, and before it could be re-condensed, it was swept across by Daizong.
In just an instant, thirty-eight elite knights were shaken into a pool of mud. Tian Chengsi spat out a bucket of blood, his chest collapsed, and I don't know how many ribs were broken. The four limbs of the Boshou he was riding broke in unison, making a mournful cry. One person and one horse crashed down...
Sima Chengzhen had been angry after hearing those filthy words earlier, but after smashing many Lulong Army soldiers with an angry blow, he felt a bit soft-hearted.
"After all, they are soldiers of my Great Tang, loyal to their master, and have no fault!" Sima Chengzhen thought of this and held back slightly, not suppressing them all to death.
The blank scroll emitted a huge swallowing force.
It was about to drag those seriously injured Lulong Army soldiers into the scroll and seal them.
Even if he was soft-hearted, Sima Chengzhen couldn't raise a tiger to cause trouble and let them join An Lushan.
At this time, An Lushan, who was bearing the heavy pressure with four arms supporting three divine peaks, revealed a bloody and hideous smile. He looked back, his head actually turning a full circle, his gaze fierce, revealing a kind of chilling, fierce joy, as if he saw the prey taking the bait.
Sima Chengzhen felt a chill in his heart, and his thoughts turned rapidly: "This is the... eagle-looking wolf-gazing appearance of the ancestors!"
"Hahaha!" An Lushan let out a wild laugh. Except for the arm with shattered bones, he used his other three magic arms to exert force together, and with just one arm, he lifted the True Form of the Three Mountains.
He deliberately let Sima Chengzhen break one arm, just to make him think that he could only use four arms to lift the True Form of the Five Mountains. That's why Sima Chengzhen easily took back the two mountains to block the Lulong Army elites.
But in fact...
"Old man can lift your True Form of the Five Mountains with just two hands!"
An Lushan laughed wildly. One of his hands was filled with magic light, like a stone tablet, and he smashed it toward Sima Chengzhen's face.
Sima Chengzhen opened the scroll, using the Taihua and Daizong True Forms to protect his face.
But it was shattered by An Lushan with one palm and pressed onto the Five Mountains True Form Diagram. The Lulong Army soldiers imprisoned in the diagram turned into dust along with the vibration of the scroll, dying without a whole corpse.
The spiritual light of the Five Mountains True Form Diagram was severely damaged. At this time, An Lushan's other fist, under the cover of this palm, had already hit Sima Chengzhen's chest.
Sima Chengzhen shook violently, and the powerful demonic Qi blasted into his chest and abdomen in an instant. A large spray of blood rained on the nearby ground, and the extremely hot and powerful magic power tore his lungs, and the pain attacked Sima Chengzhen's consciousness.
The five energies in his chest were almost scattered.
Even his natal true talisman showed fluctuations.
"What a ruthless heart, what a decisive decision!" Sima Chengzhen felt that his defeat was not unjust.
First, An Lushan's cultivation was far beyond his imagination. He thought he had only cultivated his natal god and demon, and his cultivation was slightly inferior to his own, but he didn't expect An Lushan to have long since cultivated an Immortal God and Demon Body, which was even above his own!
Second, although An Lushan's cultivation was better than his own, he still chose to endure, using his subordinates as bait, and he even had unnecessary sympathy, while these subordinates were all An Lushan's confidants. He could have easily saved them, but he still chose to use them as bait to attract part of Sima Chengzhen's attention.
In comparison, Sima Chengzhen himself was simply light-hearted, careless, and childishly hesitant.
"War is originally a game of chess where one reasonably sends oneself and one's subordinates to death for victory!" An Lushan opened his eyes and said coldly: "Heavenly Master Sima, can you tell me why you came to assassinate me?"
Sima Chengzhen revealed a bitter smile and sighed: "Everyone underestimated you! An Lushan!"
He raised his spirits, but still carried a trace of confidence: "But he was right! You really are the Great Heavenly Demon! As long as I can test out this answer, my defeat is not without value!"
Hearing this answer that was not what he wanted, An Lushan's face turned cold. He struck with his three arms, and Sima Chengzhen opened the Five Mountains True Form Diagram in mid-air, took back the other three True Forms, and barely blocked the blow, but he was beaten to spit blood again, and finally used his essence blood to draw a True Form talisman in the diagram.
Immediately, he was wrapped in a group of divine light, and with the joint response of the stars in the sky, in the flash of the morning star—the Venus—he fled and disappeared.
In this world, a Heavenly Master can be defeated, but even a great power one realm higher than him would find it difficult to kill him.
This is because of the endless secret arts and divine abilities of the Righteous Dao, and the care of the gods in heaven and earth.
The Lulong Army suffered more than half casualties, but they had no complaints. If they didn't even have the heart to accept failure and casualties, they wouldn't deserve to be called the number one elite in Hebei.
Facing An Lushan's behavior of using them to lure the enemy, they had no dissatisfaction. This was the common sense of war, and instead, they admired An Lushan's powerful personal cultivation even more.
An Lushan also personally treated and bandaged them one by one, using the essence blood of the dead Lulong Army cavalry and Boshou to ease his injuries.
After a round of treatment, the sky was already bright!
Less than a hundred miles from Chang'an, it seemed that one could faintly hear the morning bells of the more than four hundred temples in Chang'an ringing in unison. An Lushan patted his big belly, his whole body like a mountain of meat.
He stared at Chang'an, his eyes bursting with strong ambition—he wanted to hold this magnificent and prosperous city in his palm!
A group of Lulong Army soldiers followed behind their army master in awe, listening to An Lushan say: "Go! Let's enter the capital!"
