Chapter 175: Hard on You

On the plain, Ji Liuli looked at the light of the Feng Shui array in her hand and said to the hundreds of people behind her: "There is a camp ahead, what you need to do is rush in, kill everyone you see, set fire to the grain and grass, and run when they react. I will wait here, as long as I see smoke, and those who can still return alive will be official members of the realm guard from now on! Go!"

Although the cultivation of these hundreds of people was not high, each of them had a fierce expression. Upon receiving the order, they immediately dispersed, each using their own means to sneak towards the camp in the distance. A moment later, killing sounds erupted, and fire lit up the sky. Hundreds of people rushed into the camp, killing everyone they saw, and then threw oil cans everywhere, throwing them into a sea of fire.

The garrison in the camp reacted a beat late, came out of the tents to counterattack, they were well-trained and well-equipped, and immediately hacked to death the people who rushed in. Seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable, the people who attacked the camp whistled and turned to run.

Wang Ziyan walked out of the central army tent, surprised and angry, and flew directly into the sky. He saw that the people who attacked the camp encountered a head-on blow and had already begun to flee one after another.

Wang Ziyan swooped down from the air, waved his hand, and slapped unconscious a dozen people who ran slowly. At this time, hundreds of people who rushed into the camp had been killed by more than half, and only a hundred or so escaped.

Wang Ziyan ordered people to concentrate the living, he wanted to interrogate them immediately. At this time, he couldn't understand why the outer perimeter sentries had no reaction and were raided by this mob.

The people who attacked the camp were cruel, but there were not many hard bones inside, and they confessed as soon as they were interrogated.

They were originally horse bandits and thieves, and they were recruited by the Azure Void Realm a few days ago, turning into the regular army of the realm, and even given the title of the Loyal and Brave Battalion.

They were assigned by the upper levels of the realm to raid the camp today, and they would get rewards after returning. These horse bandits lived by holding their heads, and didn't care who was in the camp, just a rush of killing.

Wang Ziyan cursed the Primordial Palace for being cunning, making an appointment on the surface, but sending people to steal the camp in secret.

Fortunately, Xu Xinhui arranged it properly and left Wang Ziyan to guard, so there was no major loss. However, this Azure Void Realm was really not a climate, even the mountain bandits who had just taken off their skins were used as regular troops. But thinking about it, one could know that a realm that had just been formed and had its supply lines blocked, what strength could it have?

At the peak of the steep peak.

Xu Xinhui was covered in blood, his eyes spraying fire, staring fixedly at Wei Yuan. The immortal sword Shaohao circled above his head, constantly wailing, the flames on the sword body were almost extinguished, leaving only a little golden-red color.

Wei Yuan was also covered in bruises, with many charred wounds, and his eight-foot long sword was a bit unsteady.

The two fought fiercely for half a day, and at this time both were a bit exhausted.

Wei Yuan had to admit that Xu Xinhui was really hard to fight, both were at the late stage of the Dao Foundation, and back then, even if a few of the Liao tribe's young masters were bundled together, they wouldn't be enough for Xu Xinhui to fight. The difference between the Immortal Foundation and the Heavenly Foundation, don't look at it as only one rank, but the difference of this rank might be a world of difference.

Xu Xinhui has deep cultivation, profound Daoist arts, a firm will, and god-like sword techniques; he has absolutely no weaknesses. Even with the power of his Immortal Sword greatly reduced, he remains a respectable and formidable opponent. Wei Yuan had absolutely no opportunity to take shortcuts and could only trade injury for injury with him, grinding him down head-on, fighting by trading wounds and spiritual power, and has fought bit by bit until now.

The immortal sword Shaohao only had the last little flame left, and fell from the air. Xu Xinhui caught the immortal sword, said "Good" several times, and hated: "This time I lost, guard your old nest well! Next time you won't have such good luck."

Xu Xinhui soared into the sky and then went away.

Wei Yuan didn't chase, but watched him go away. Until his figure disappeared on the horizon, he moved his body, the blood all over his body flowed back, the wounds closed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the injuries were seven or eight out of ten.

Xu Xinhui hadn't returned to the camp yet, and saw several pillars of smoke from afar. He was shocked and hurriedly flew back to the camp, only to see Wang Ziyan greeting him.

Seeing Xu Xinhui, Wang Ziyan was furious and cursed: "Those bastards from the Primordial Palace calculated that Big Brother was not there, and actually came to steal the camp! But the ones who came were all mobs, all horse bandit origins. We lost twenty-something people, killed over a hundred of them, and captured over a hundred. I have already interrogated them, there are over three thousand soldiers in the realm now, but more than half are mortals who haven't practiced at all, and haven't practiced at all before. Let's just kill them, and wipe them out directly!"

Xu Xinhui remained silent, and Wang Ziyan realized that his big brother's expression was different, and asked: "What's wrong? Could it be that they didn't keep their word and fought in a group?"

Xu Xinhui sighed and smiled bitterly: "That's not it, it was indeed a single fight. It's just that the place was changed by the Shaman tribe, and the immortal sword was forbidden."

Wang Ziyan was stunned for a moment.

Half a day later, Wei Yuan returned to the main peak of the realm and summoned everyone from the Primordial Palace to discuss matters.

Ji Liuli asked as soon as they met: "Are the injuries heavy? Do you want me to help you treat them again?" Wei Yuan said busily: "No need for the Senior Martial Sister, it's already healed!"

Before returning to the realm, Wei Yuan's injuries were already nearly healed. Once inside the realm, with the blessing of the Armor-Wood Life-Mystery, he only needs half an hour to fully recover.

Ji Liuli smiled: "It's really hard on you, fighting with him for so long."

Thinking of this, Wei Yuan was also very helpless. His Dharma fighting had always been open and closed, taking the path of frontal crushing, and usually wouldn't fight for long. However, Xu Xinhui was smelly and hard, with no weaknesses, and refused to admit defeat, forcing Wei Yuan to grind for half a day.

In order not to startle the snake, Wei Yuan couldn't use the thousands of Dao Foundations, couldn't use firearms, couldn't use the laurel immortal branch, couldn't use destiny, couldn't use Ji Liuli and Bao Yun, and couldn't use the master, so he had to learn Feng Tingyu's methods, take two swords and return one knife, and hacked with Xu Xinhui for several hours, finally hacking this guy away.

Xu Xinhui's identity was special, being both a Xu family disciple and a high-level disciple of the Sword Palace, so he couldn't be killed. If he wanted to kill, he had to have a suitable reason, and Wei Yuan hadn't thought of this reason for the time being.

Xu Xinhui's trip to the west this time not only brought a thousand elite clan soldiers, but also four thousand auxiliary troops. These were all found out by Bao Yun yesterday, including the location where the auxiliary troops built the camp.

So after everyone discussed yesterday, they unanimously believed that Xu Xinhui should be the vanguard sent by the Xu family to test, and a large team would inevitably follow.

Wei Yuan urgently asked for some intelligence from Xu Jingfeng, although it was not very detailed, it also included key information such as age, background, cultivation, position, etc., and also included some personality introductions.

Combining all the intelligence, Wei Yuan searched in the history books and found many templates for Xu Xinhui. Like Xu Xinhui, who had a good background and became famous very early, he had been leading troops in the family for these years, and commanded five thousand people to test, which showed that his ability to lead troops was average, otherwise he would not have lacked opportunities in his early years, and would have long been famous at a young age and commanded a large army.

!.

For example, Bao Yun, who commanded a great battle of tens of thousands of people in the Northern Frontier, and wiped out over ten thousand Liao barbarian main forces in one fell swoop.

This person was also a sword cultivator, his personality was often biased and stubborn, and he tended to only pay attention to details and was proud of it.

So Wei Yuan thought about it repeatedly and decided to show weakness to the enemy, intentionally exposing part of his cards to the other side, such as the forbidden immortal sword.

Xu Xinhui's immortal sword was forbidden, so he couldn't personally lead the army to attack the realm. If he couldn't take action, Wang Ziyan leading the army alone was looking for death. As long as they didn't attack the realm, they couldn't know the true strength of the realm.

But Wei Yuan also wanted to let Xu Xinhui know some intelligence about the realm, which were naturally what Wei Yuan wanted him to know. The specific way was to tell the other side through details.

So Wei Yuan sent a batch of horse bandits who had just been recruited to raid Xu Xinhui's military camp, which failed as expected, and only a hundred or so people escaped.

The three thousand city defense troops that these horse bandits were incorporated into were real, and most of these city defense troops were indeed mortals, and they were not considered elite among mortals. All the people up and down this city defense army, including everyone in Yong'an City, thought that except for a few immortals, they were the only army in the realm.

This was not surprising, any realm that had only been established for a month, as long as it was not supported by family troops, was almost like this, and other realms couldn't afford to raise three thousand troops.

These intelligence, Wei Yuan was just letting Xu Xinhui interrogate them bit by bit, and then piece together the picture Wei Yuan wanted him to see. This kind of intelligence analyzed from details was particularly fascinating and unable to extricate oneself.

At this time, the true main force in the Azure Void was actually eight thousand Body Forging cultivators, who had been transferred to another military camp and separated from Yong'an City. Under the blessing of the "Moment of All Living Things," five thousand of the eight thousand cultivators could instantly reach the level of the Great Tang Nine Armies, and another thousand could cross the Dao Foundation chasm, only slightly weaker than the young masters and ladies who had just arrived in the Western Domain.

Under the blessing of the Instant Myriad Sentient Beings, five thousand out of the eight thousand cultivators can instantly reach the standard of the Great Tang Nine Armies, and another one thousand can cross the Dao Foundation chasm, only slightly weaker than the young masters and ladies when they first arrived in the Western Regions.
