Chapter 342: Entangled by Karma
After just one short engagement, half of the sixty thousand cavalry were lost, and seventy percent of the warhorses were lost. Looking at the scattered remnants, Xu Xu Zhongxing's heart was bleeding!
Little Wei Yuan's heart was also bleeding at this moment. In just a short engagement, over five thousand domain soldiers were killed in battle. These soldiers were all elites at the Blood Merging Realm or above, and nearly a hundred Dao Foundation cultivators were lost!
Among all the casualties, over three thousand were actually killed by Xu Xu Zhongxing alone; almost all the Dao Foundation cultivators were injured under his hands. Xu Xu Zhongxing's killing sword was truly terrifying, almost ignoring defense, ignoring armor, and even fortune blessings couldn't stop it. This made Little Wei Yuan lose over three thousand strands of blue fortune in vain.
If it hadn't been for the large amount of blue qi contributed by the over one hundred thousand sacrifices after they joined, and the total number of fortune strands in his sea of consciousness exceeding fifteen thousand, Little Wei Yuan wouldn't have known how to continue fighting this battle.
An immortal sword suddenly fell beside Xu Xu Zhongxing; the sword was originally green, but now it was tinged with a hint of red.
Zhang Sheng still couldn't help but take action.
As soon as this sword fell, Xu Xu Zhongxing's vitality immediately wavered, but before the second immortal sword could appear, he used a flash to forcibly break out of the sword array's lock, jumped out of the circle, and then slashed back to destroy the falling immortal sword.
Little Wei Yuan's intuition was indeed correct; this Xu Xu Zhongxing was well-versed in battle-array combat and was extremely tricky. He moved like lightning, his aura was elusive, and he could switch between existence and non-existence, forcibly breaking free from the lock. If he didn't find a way to limit his movements, his own Immortal Road Twilight and Zhang Sheng's sword array would never hit him.
Perhaps only Burning Sea True Person's sky-filling heavenly fire could leave him with nowhere to escape, and Ji Ji Liuli's Nine-Fold Tower of Suppressing Demons was the nemesis of this kind of supernatural power.
Zhang Sheng flicked the Scarlet Night Execution Immortal Sword, feeling quite helpless.
The Scarlet Night Execution Immortal Sword was a true immortal object, which should have been held in the hands of an immortal, and slashing a Dharma Form should have been like chopping melons and vegetables. However, Zhang Sheng's four immortal sword Dao Foundations were not very compatible with it; no matter which one he used, he couldn't unleash even one percent of the Scarlet Night Sword's power. Holding this sword, Zhang Sheng's combat power would still increase, but it was not enough to exterminate Xu Xu Zhongxing.
Even if Zhang Sheng had already advanced to the Dharma Form Realm, he would have no chance of winning against Xu Xu Zhongxing with a two-realm difference. After all, Xu Xu Zhongxing was also a cultivation genius not inferior to Zhang Sheng.
At this moment, there were still many wounded soldiers and horses struggling in pain in front of the position. Only then did Xu Xu Zhongxing discover that the iron wire nets, which looked simple, were actually very troublesome. Even if they were blasted into pieces, if the warhorses stepped on them carelessly, or if the horse legs touched them, they would be scratched or cut, and many times they would get tangled on the horse legs, and a slight carelessness would result in a large gash.
If a horse's leg was injured on the battlefield and could not be treated in time, the warhorse was basically useless.
The cavalry wore steel boots, so they were not afraid of the iron wire nets, but the ground had long since turned into floating soil under constant bombardment, and the cavalry who fell off their horses were deep and shallow, moving slowly, becoming living targets.
Little Wei Yuan didn't give Xu Xu Zhongxing any time to catch his breath, ordering the rear to start shelling again. And this time, only Xu Xu Zhongxing remained as a Dharma Form, the interception efficiency dropped significantly, and Little Wei Yuan took the opportunity to order all bullets to be replaced with full-charge lethal shells; after a few rounds of shelling, Xu Xu Zhongxing's cavalry suffered heavy casualties again.
Xu Xu Zhongxing had no choice but to retreat. After retreating several li, the shelling stopped; it seemed the range of this strange weapon was only two li in front of the position.
Xuanwei Three was already filled with fighting and roaring, and the Xu family's infantry had already broken into the underground, with both sides beginning a bloody and tragic battle.
In the rear main army, the fifteen thousand infantry entered the battlefield one after another. Seeing the tragic state of the cavalry led by Xu Xu Zhongxing, the several elders in the main army all had ugly expressions. A thin, long-faced old man even cursed: "Trash! Fighting a mob and ending up like this! Losing thirty thousand cavalry in such a short time? Even if you were killing thirty thousand pigs, you wouldn't be finished!" The other two Dharma Form elders also glared at Xu Zhongnian, one shouting: "The family trusted you and handed thirty percent of the family's military strength to you; is this how you repay the family? And you have the nerve to call yourself a famous general?!"
The three Dharma Forms looked at Xu Zhongnian with more and more disgust, and the emotions came very inexplicably.
Xu Xu Zhongxing's face was also iron-blue, his mood was irritable, and he even wanted to kill someone.
He was shocked, noticing that his state was wrong. After all, he was a rare genius, possessing many secret techniques. At this moment, he carefully examined himself, only then discovering that he didn't know when he had been entangled by karma. Even if the heavenly tribulation hadn't arrived, he would be in a state of constant tribulation, and everything would go wrong.
Such heavy karma meant that he was probably close to the point of triggering a heavenly tribulation. Even if he didn't die under the heavenly tribulation, if this state was maintained for a long time, Xu Xu Zhongxing would become a madman with only instincts left.
Little Wei Yuan was somewhat surprised that he had obtained so much karma. This karma was not unsolvable, but it reacted particularly strongly because it happened in the Azure Void domain. Leaving the Azure Void would alleviate it somewhat, at least giving him a chance to breathe and find a way to resolve it.
Thinking of this, Xu Xu Zhongxing's irritability surged again.
This kind of karma was extremely troublesome to resolve, and the price to pay was huge; I fear that for a long time to come, Xu Xu Zhongxing would have to be careful in everything, be cautious in his words and deeds, and his cultivation would have absolutely no possibility of breaking through.
But where did so much karma come from? Even if it was an era of flourishing fortune, it wasn't that easy to encounter people with fortune, but in this Azure Void, why were there so many people with fortune?
Killing such people with fortune brought karma backlash dozens or hundreds of times higher than killing ordinary people! And the karma brought by fortune was even harder to eliminate, and it would cancel out Xu Xu Zhongxing's own fortune.
Xu Xu Zhongxing's hands were also trembling slightly at this moment. In the upcoming battle, he could no longer take action easily, especially not killing low-level soldiers and cultivators; if he accidentally killed someone with fortune again, he might fall on the spot, and die inexplicably.
!.
The three Dharma Form elders had already noticed Xu Xu Zhongxing's abnormality, and inexplicably couldn't control their emotions, with jealousy, disgust, and new and old hatreds surging from the bottom of their hearts, and they began to mock him again: "What, are your hands trembling from fear?"
A murderous flash appeared in Xu Xu Zhongxing's eyes, and three invisible sword qi shot out from his brow, gently tapping the three elders between their brows.
It wasn't until the sword qi was retracted that the three elders reacted, suddenly breaking into a cold sweat, both shocked and angry. If Xu Xu Zhongxing had intended to sneak attack, the three of them would already be corpses!
Although they were all Dharma Forms of the Xu family, the Xu family was too large, and the three elders were not familiar with Xu Xu Zhongxing, nor did they get along. Only then did they realize that Xu Xu Zhongxing's cultivation was actually so terrifying.
Xu Xu Zhongxing narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Now we are in the Azure Void, and the fortune around us is abnormal, and everyone has been affected. So now, all of you keep your mouths shut! If you push me too far, it's hard to say whether I will die, but the three of you will definitely go before me!"
