Chapter 314

Late at night.

Jingmen Prefecture, Shimen City.

Under the night, there was constant gunfire at the Dongcheng Gate of Shimen City; a siege battle was taking place!

More than two hundred meters outside the city wall, hundreds of people holding firearms were hiding behind cover and constantly shooting at the city guards on the city wall.

Bullets flew, sparks splashed, and from time to time, someone was hit and fell to the ground, and then someone let out a miserable howl.

This siege team was composed of more than two hundred supervisors from the Jingmen Prefecture Supervision General Academy and more than three hundred city guards from Jingmen Fucheng.

A total of more than six hundred people, all carrying guns, but without carrying cannons and other siege equipment, it was almost impossible to break through Shimen City.

"My lord, I feel something is wrong; they may be attracting our troops; this is just a feint!"

A commander (level 6 martial official) of the Shimen City city guards said to the Garrison Commander.

The highest martial official of the city guards in an ordinary city is the Garrison Commander (level 8 martial official), commanding three hundred people.

At this time, the Garrison Commander of Shimen City had concentrated all more than two hundred city guards at the Dongcheng Gate.

"Feint my ass! Didn't you see how many people are below? Go and push the city defense cannon up for me, prepare to fire!"

The Garrison Commander completely ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates and ordered loudly.

"My lord..."

The subordinate who was a commander looked at his superior with a helpless face.

He was a veteran who had been on the battlefield; after retiring, relying on his cultivation as a martial master, he was arranged to retire in the city guards of Shimen City.

He thought he could work steadily until retirement, but he didn't expect to encounter war again one day.

This veteran could see that his superior was completely panicked.

The other party was seventeen years younger than him, but had higher martial arts talent, was a martial master of energy, and had more background, so he had just become the Garrison Commander of the city guards half a year ago.

But this Garrison Commander had no experience in leading troops at all, let alone experience in fighting; suddenly encountering this kind of siege battle, his heart was completely panicked.

This is actually a common phenomenon among martial officials in most cities of the Great Lan Dynasty today.

Because the infighting between various local forces is very fierce, the local armed forces like the city guards are particularly important, and there is no situation of eating empty pay.

Not only has the number not decreased, but many places are actually over-quota!

Coupled with frequent friction and fighting with local gangs and martial artists, the combat experience can be considered rich.

But these experiences are limited to small-scale street fights, alley battles, or encirclement battles.

And most of them are smooth battles.

To talk about serious battlefield experience, no one rebels every day these days, so where can one accumulate experience?

That's why this Garrison Commander of Shimen City was completely panicked.

"My lord, I looked carefully; the other party did not carry siege equipment; even if the number of people was doubled, it would be impossible to break in. It is best for us to send some brothers to defend the other city gates, so as not to let the enemy launch an attack from other directions."

This commander who had been on the battlefield advised earnestly.

"No, if we don't beat the people below into a rout first, we can't go anywhere!"

But the young Garrison Commander did not listen to the advice, "Prepare to fire for me!"

Boom!!!!

With a loud noise, everyone on the city wall could feel the vibration of the wall.

"What's going on? Did you fire?"

The young Garrison Commander looked confused.

"No, the sound is wrong; it's the South City Gate! Something happened at the South City Gate!"

The commander who had been on the battlefield had his face change drastically and shouted loudly.

At the South City Gate of Shimen City.

The city gate was rammed into a huge hole!

More than fifty Imperial Camp cavalry were surrounded by black evil aura, like a black dragon, just breaking through the city gate and killing into the city!

These Imperial Camp cavalry all had blood-red eyes, exuding cold killing intent, without any human breath.

They killed everyone they saw, sweeping all the way!

Half an hour later, Shimen City surrendered.

Subsequently, the four city gates were blocked, and several areas were also blocked; people were sought out door-to-door by supervisors and city guards holding guns, driven out of their homes, and went to nearby squares or open spaces to gather:

"Mom, I'm so sleepy; why do we have to come here?"

"Be good, it's okay; we'll go home in a while."

"What is this for?"

"When can we go home?"

"..."

Men supporting the elderly, women holding children, young girls in pajamas... everyone stood in place, looking around uneasily.

They didn't know what would happen next.

Soon, they heard the sound of horse hooves and felt the earth trembling slightly.

The black evil aura rolled from far to near like a tide, sweeping toward the crowd in the square.

When this Imperial Camp cavalry charged back and forth in the square twice, there was no complete corpse left in the square!

These Imperial Camp cavalry, whose minds were controlled by evil weapons, turned their horses' heads with blank expressions and rushed to the next location...

As more and more people died, an invisible force flew toward Jingmen Fucheng and merged into the golden dragon circling in the sky.

Soon, blood-colored patterns appeared on the dragon scales of this golden dragon, and these patterns gradually covered all the dragon scales.

Massive slaughter, death, and blood kept the Son of Heaven's Dragon Qi constantly reinforced; the Dao Nation that True Person Qingxu wanted to establish finally began to have a prototype!

On the plain, Li Fei and others got off the train and gathered together.

National Teacher Yunshu was looking up in the direction of Jin Shan Fucheng; when he saw the blood-colored dragon scales appearing on the golden dragon condensed from the Son of Heaven's Dragon Qi, unprecedented anger appeared in his eyes!

He stood in place, with silver-white starlight flickering in his eyes.

A few minutes later, he pointed in a certain direction:

"Where is that?"

The train conductor who also got off the train replied hurriedly:

"Reporting to National Teacher, it is Chong City!"

"How far is it from here to Chong City?"

"The straight-line distance is about two hundred kilometers, and you need to climb over a mountain in the middle."

Yunshu turned to look at Li Fei and others: "Everyone, full speed ahead!"

As the voice fell, he waved his sleeves, and a strong wind generated on the plain, rolling everyone into it.

Everyone couldn't help but follow the direction of the strong wind and sprint with all their might.

Soon, a storm blew up on the plain!

The storm swept across the plain at an astonishing high speed; wherever it passed, weeds and mud were all rolled away, leaving only a straight road leading to Chong City.

In this team, besides Li Fei and Luo Shi, there were twenty-nine officials from the Stop-Weapon Pavilion.

Besides that, there were two Imperial Guard commanders brought by Yunshu, both of whom were Martial Arts Grandmasters!

This time Yunshu traveled light, and besides the two Imperial Guard commanders, he didn't bring any other guards.

Yunshu also brought the train conductor with him to show the way.

So thirty-five people were swept up in the storm.

Li Fei moved rapidly in the storm; he found that the surrounding strong wind would adjust the wind direction and wind force according to his movement technique, thereby making his movement speed faster!

Not just him, except for the three Martial Arts Grandmasters, the other martial artists also had such treatment.

With the assistance of the strong wind, the movement speed of the entire team far exceeded that of ordinary Dao Foundation powerhouses!

This speed was many times faster than the cars of this era.

Just like this, Yunshu led everyone and rushed toward the direction of Chong City in almost a straight line.

Encountering a mountain halfway, Yunshu did not choose to take a detour and just led everyone to climb the mountain directly.

This mountain had no mountain road; Yunshu used the strong wind to assist everyone to constantly borrow force to rise into the air, soon reached the top of the mountain, and then went down the mountain at a faster speed.

It took only more than an hour for the group to arrive at Chong City under the leadership of Yunshu.

At this time in Chong City, more than 80,000 people had been forced out of their homes!

"You..."

When Yunshu led everyone to approach the West City Gate of Chong City, he was about to open his mouth to instruct everyone to do things when he suddenly felt something in his heart.

He looked up at the sky fiercely and then pointed at the sky.

First, a starlight like a candle flame appeared, and then this starlight spread to the surroundings, turning into a huge circular disk with a diameter of more than fifty meters.

There were countless glowing runes on this disk; these runes formed circles and rotated rapidly on the disk.

At first glance, this disk looked like a nebula rotating at high speed, covering the sky above everyone's heads.

Boom!

A thunderclap exploded, and a thick purple thunderbolt generated out of thin air, carrying the majesty of heaven and striking toward everyone!

This purple thunderbolt finally smashed into the sorcery released by True Person Yunshu; the purple thunder light and the silver starlight blended, the thunderbolt poured down like a flood, and finally completely merged into the starlight disk and dissipated.

A storm formed in the air and swept across the sky above Chong City!

Until this time, everyone realized that someone had attacked them.

"True Person Qingxu!"

As soon as Li Fei saw this thunderbolt, he knew it was the supreme sorcery of the Daluo Sect—Nine Heavens Insight Thunder Method.

Only True Person Qingxu could strike with such astonishing power in this world!

But True Person Qingxu did not appear here; the one who attacked was the white Dharma form in Jin Shan Fucheng, more than a hundred kilometers away.

True Person Qingxu sensed Yunshu's aura, so he descended his power into Jin Shan Fucheng.

Across more than a hundred kilometers, True Person Qingxu still used the Son of Heaven's Dragon Qi and the power of the array, which allowed him to attack Yunshu from a distance.

But his Dao Nation had not been built yet, so the power he descended into Jin Shan Fucheng was weaker than in the Daluo Sect; transmitting the power again from a distance to attack Yunshu in Chong City weakened the power once more.

So Yunshu took this blow relatively easily.

"Luo Shi, you go to Taining City!"

"Chang Pengfei, you go to Badong City!"

"Mu Kairen, you go to Shangtang City!"

"Li Fei leads the rest to stay in Chong City; you go to destroy the array in the city, must ensure the safety of the city, if people are there, the city is there!"

Yunshu's voice exploded in everyone's ears.

"Obey!"

The three Martial Arts Grandmasters, Li Fei, and the remaining officials of the Stop-Weapon Pavilion all saluted Yunshu one after another.

In this process, two more thunderbolts fell from the sky and smashed onto the starlight disk.

With the status of National Teacher Yunshu, he was qualified to command everyone present.

After giving the death order to everyone, his body was rolled up by a strong wind and flew directly into the sky!

Then he carried the huge starlight disk, controlled the strong wind, and flew rapidly toward Jin Shan Fucheng.

In this process, one purple thunderbolt after another fell, striking the starlight disk above Yunshu's head!

True Person Qingxu had to ensure that his power poured onto Yunshu without interruption, in order to contain Yunshu.

Otherwise, Yunshu could destroy the array he set up and hinder the establishment of his Dao Nation.

And Yunshu could actually choose to run in the direction away from Jin Shan Fucheng; the further the distance, the more the power True Person Qingxu could transmit would be further weakened.

But the further away from Jin Shan Fucheng, the more 'trivial' the arrays Yunshu could destroy would be.

After seeing True Person Qingxu's Dharma form and the golden dragon transformed from the Son of Heaven's Dragon Qi, he understood what True Person Qingxu wanted to do.

He saw the nearest key node at the first opportunity, so he led everyone to Chong City.

He sent the three Martial Arts Grandmasters including Luo Shi to three cities, which were also three key nodes.

As for himself, he was going to Jin Shan Fucheng!

He was going to destroy the most critical node himself!

Carrying the attack of the thunderbolt, Yunshu arrived outside Jin Shan Fucheng in just over ten minutes.

Compared with True Person Qingxu's thousand-meter-high Dharma form, Yunshu was like an ant.

True Person Qingxu's Dharma form lowered his head to look at Yunshu, watching the starlight disk above the other party's head.

"No wonder that day on Yunhai Terrace, you were able to see through the location of my true body without a sound."

True Person Qingxu's magnificent voice resounded between heaven and earth.

He suspected that it was Yunshu who secretly helped when he fought Tai Yu that day, and now he could finally confirm it.

The Dao Principles contained in Yunshu's natal magic treasure could 'analyze' all things, which could be seen as an upgraded version of the 'Insight' divine ability!

Precisely because of such Dao Principles, Yunshu could see True Person Qingxu's true body on Yunhai Terrace and inform Tai Yu.

Similarly, because of such Dao Principles, Yunshu could perceive the key nodes of the grand array set up by True Person Qingxu at the first opportunity, and then send Luo Shi and others to destroy them.

Whether it is a True Person or a Martial Saint, the Dao Principles they master are the foundation of their Dao, and they are their most fundamental and important means.

Therefore, True Persons and Martial Saints will not easily expose their Dao Principles to avoid being targeted by people with ulterior motives.

Yunshu was now in front of True Person Qingxu, fully driving his natal magic treasure 'Luo Tian Star Disk' to analyze the array set up by True Person Qingxu.

This was seen through by True Person Qingxu.

"The world only says that you are the number one in thunder magic in the world, but I didn't expect that you would be so terrible in array attainments!"

Yunshu had silver light flickering in his eyes, looking at the Dharma form in front of him:

"Even if Xuanxin were in front of you, I'm afraid he could only admit defeat; it's ridiculous that the Shangqing Sect actually wanted to compete with the Daluo Sect for the first place."

Xuanxin is the Sect Master of the Shangqing Sect, proficient in arrays, and is known as the number one person in arrays in the world.

But at this time, Yunshu used the 'Luo Tian Star Disk' to analyze the grand array set up by True Person Qingxu and reached a different conclusion:

Even if only looking at array attainments, True Person Qingxu is stronger than True Person Xuanxin.

True Person Qingxu is the well-deserved number one in arrays in the world!

Only such an array could possibly establish a Dao Nation.

His own strongest point is not as good as others, so Yunshu would feel that the Shangqing Sect wanting to compete with the Daluo Sect for the first place is simply a joke!

Number one in thunder magic in the world, and number one in arrays in the world.

True Person Qingxu, who received the personal recognition of the National Teacher of the Great Lan Dynasty, did not feel proud because of this.

He had not yet shown the means of tampering with other people's memories with illusions in front of people; this point is currently known only to Li Fei.

Li Fei is not clear about the gold content of tampering with the memory of a Dao Foundation martial artist at will; only sorcerers who are truly proficient in illusions can understand how terrible this is.

So True Person Qingxu might also be considered the number one in illusions in the world!

But what he sought was never number one in thunder magic, number one in arrays, or number one in illusions.

What he wanted was the supreme, unique, and truly number one in the world!
