Chapter 354: The Battle of the Practitioners (Part )
After three consecutive days of fierce attacks on Mincheng, Heshuicheng and Yuyoucheng, Zhao Xing was not idle during the retreat.

He ordered the Shenwei Army, the Xuanjia Army, the Zhenhai Army, the Hujiao Army, and the Lieyang Army to leave behind six groups of practitioners each when they retreated, and take turns casting two spells outside the three cities every day.

One is flying sand and rocks, the other is cloud or fog, deliberately creating noise, as if the city will be attacked again at any time.

Due to the previous three days of fierce attacks, Zhao Xing and others had also used the strategy of luring the enemy out of the city, resulting in the defenders of Mincheng, Heshuicheng and Yuyoucheng only wanting to defend the city and had no intention of going out to investigate.

If we don’t make mistakes, then nothing will go wrong. As long as we defend the city and prevent the enemy troops of the Great Zhou from getting supplies, it will be a great achievement!
So, when Commander Youyun led reinforcements to the outskirts of Mincheng, Heshuicheng and Yuyoucheng, they only found conchs stretching for several miles.

"Restore~Restore~"

Inside were the sounds of war horses neighing and iron forging.

The echo array was roaring non-stop, but looking at the surrounding camp stoves, one couldn't tell how long they had been cold.

Commander-in-chief Youyun crushed the conch expressionlessly and looked at the defenders of Mincheng, Heshuicheng and Yuyoucheng.

"You said that the enemy attacked the city fiercely and seemed determined not to stop until the city was conquered. I would like to ask the three of you, where are the enemy troops?"

The commanders of the three cities of Mincheng, Heshuicheng and Yuyoucheng looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Commander Youyun's face turned pale. "Are you so timid that you don't even have the courage to send someone out of the city to check?!"

"What use does the royal court have for a bunch of you trash?"

The three main generals didn't dare to breathe.

Although they are also regular troops, they are ranked very low and are far inferior to elite troops like the Jiuyou Army.

Leave the city? Risk your life? We strictly followed the order to defend the city. How can you blame us if they leave? Why don't you blame yourself for coming to support too late?
But of course it was impossible to say such words. All he did was to say that the enemy was too cunning and that the commander should apologize.

Commander Youyun took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to hack these three bastards to death.

We don't know when the person left, so naturally we can't ask these three pieces of rubbish where he went.

Therefore, Commander Youyun could only inquire through the surrounding garrison cities and sent out scouts to search.

But the strange thing was that after searching for three days, he still couldn't figure out where Zhao Xing's team had gone.

It wasn't until the seventh day that he got some clues.

"Commander-in-chief, the Ten Suns Legion appeared at the northern border of Lanhe Prefecture and Cangzhou Prefecture, in the area of ​​Tage City and Xueying City."

Commander Youyun frowned, "What are they going there for? Of the two cities of Ta Ge and Xue Ying, one is not even a witch city, and the other is just a small town of the ninth rank. What is there there that is worth their plotting?"

"Going further northwest, there are two seventh-grade cities. There is no way they can get through. How can they meet up with Dong Ze? This is completely looking for... Wait, bring the map over."

Commander Youyun seemed to suddenly think of something and immediately snatched the map from his adjutant's hand.

Then he saw two ferry crossings in the eastern half of the Tianshui River: Songshan Ferry and Yangshan Ferry.

Commander Youyun's heart skipped a beat: "Could they have returned to the southern part of the Pin Mansion?"

Pinfu is actually a large county, an important city of Lanhefu. Fengwu City, Tianshui City, and Xichang City all belong to the southern part of Pinfu.

"What are you trying to do? You just jumped out of our encirclement, but you turned back again. This is bad... There are only 1,500 people from Zanghe stationed in Fengwu City now. Something big is going to happen!"

"Songshan Ferry and Yangshan Ferry are in the southeast, Fengwu City, Tianshui City, and Xichang City are in the southwest. But there is no strong garrison in this encirclement. If I didn't expect him to go back, then others probably didn't expect it either. Now that I have stayed here for so long, something is going to happen in Zanghe!"

When Commander Youyun realized Zhao Xing's intention, his scalp suddenly went numb.

He didn't expect that Zhao Xing would dare to go back and attack Fengwu City again.

He wanted to send someone to pass a message to Zang He in Fengwu City, but the other party did not reply within several hours.

"Hurry, go back to Wind Witch City!"

Commander Youyun roared.

…………

Fengwu City, City Lord’s Mansion.

"Woo-"

The battle horn sounded, waking up Zang He from his sleep.

He pushed aside the two fox beauties on his body and opened the door without even bothering to put on his clothes.

"Here comes someone!"

"Commander, Commander." A guard walked in panic.

"Who is blowing the horn? Where do the enemies come from?!" Zang He shouted.

"Yes, the Ten Suns Legion, they have already rushed into the city!"

"What? Impossible, absolutely impossible! They were in Mincheng, how could they come back again?!" Zang He couldn't believe it. The Ten Yang Legion had finally managed to escape from the first encirclement.

Just a little bit, and they would be trapped in front of Tianshui City, fighting with their backs to the river. How could they possibly come back?

Yesterday, he had just finished chatting with Hou Ying, complaining that he was not included in the encirclement and suppression.

I heard that he and the commander-in-chief were encircling Zhao Xing in the Mincheng area. They finished chatting about it last night, and before dawn today, they actually came to Fengwu City.

"With an army of 30,000, even a tier 7 warship can't get through at this distance, not to mention where are the warships in the restricted area?"

Zang He was puzzled, but the shouting and screaming outside were real and approaching, so he began to tremble.

"Fight out with me!"

"I'm afraid you can't get out."

In the dark night, a sword light illuminated Zang He's eyes.

"What, you—"

"boom!"

Zang He immediately let out a low roar and threw his personal guards towards the sword light. His blood and energy surged as he rushed towards the wall on the other side.

This is the embarrassment of warriors. They cannot escape underground when escaping, and they cannot even fly before reaching the Tiangang realm.

"Want to run?! I've been living out in the open these days, just waiting to eat this big piece of fat meat like you, where are you running!"

Long Xiao is now a seventh-grade, and Zang He is also a seventh-grade, but these two people are both seventh-grade, which is not the same concept at all.

Long Xiao is the best swordsman in Pinghaizhou! Zang He's original realm is not even the first level.

He was able to block the sword and survive because Zang He burst out with energy between life and death, and Long Xiao had been fighting for a long time before that.

But he definitely couldn't block the second sword.

"Pfft~"

Zang He's head flew up and his body was dismembered in mid-air.

The last scene he saw was the City Lord's Mansion burning in flames in the dark night, and a young man in Si Nong Yun's clothes was looking at a token on a high platform.

"I should have known I shouldn't have worked so hard last night. Otherwise, how could I not have been able to block two swords? Sigh, women are the root of trouble..."

Zang He was filled with endless regret and his consciousness was completely wiped out.

"Ok?"

Zhao Xing suddenly found a ray of light shining on his body, followed by a warm current washing over his whole body.

"I'm in the middle stage of the seventh rank?"

"I clearly didn't kill anyone when I entered the city, but this transferred 'power' has been coming towards me."

"Random probability events have become certain events."

In terms of Yan Jiu's luck, in the entire Xuanhuang Realm, the only ones who can surpass him are probably Wu Yueshen and Emperor Wu.

Without playing the game of the Dynasty of Fortune, Yan Jiu would be at the limit of an ordinary practitioner.

Of course, Wu Yueshen is quite special, and he is slightly higher than himself.

With such high-level luck, after he entered the city, no matter who killed whom, most of the enemies were transferred to him.

After Long Xiao killed Zang He, he recovered to the middle stage of the seventh rank.

"In the Disha realm, I can burrow underground and finally feel the existence of the earth veins." Zhao Xing sighed.

Before, when he was at the eighth and ninth levels, he couldn’t escape underground, as if there was no vein between heaven and earth.

It's different now.

"This feeling is like being in another layer. Only I can feel it. I can exert the strength of the Earthly Evil Realm. The rest of the people are in another layer. There are only about 20 to 30 people in the same layer as me in the whole city." Zhao Xing said secretly.

swoosh~
He immediately left the city.

The effect of upgrading from seventh grade to sixth grade and killing seventh grade is the greatest. If you kill eighth or ninth grade, you will have to fuse tens of thousands of them before you can upgrade.

Of course, it would be best to let the people of the Ten Sun Legion receive the effects of those soldiers.

As the number of practitioners increases, his Ten Yang Legion will be more mobile and have higher combat effectiveness.

Long Xiao and his men can even form a battle formation.

Outside Fengwu City, Zhao Xing looked at the bloody token, which kept trembling, and then crushed it.

This is a warning order. I don’t know where it came from, but it’s right not to respond.

"Brother Zhao, you can come in now."

The battle was completely over before dawn.

Zhao Xing's men successfully captured Fengwu City.

Returning to Fengwu City once again, Xia Jing was filled with emotion. He never thought that he could come back, and so easily.

"Zang He, with only 1,500 people, can't defend such a large Fengwu City."

"Plus, this city has been destroyed before, and there are holes everywhere. Even if we want to repair it, we don't have enough time and manpower."

"Many barbarians died in their sleep, and had no idea what happened." Xia Jing looked at the final battle report, "90% of the 1,500 soldiers were killed, and only a few managed to escape."

"We are still counting the realms of our own people, but I think it should be close to two thousand practitioners." Xia Jing said.

"We have regained a large amount of supplies. Hehe, although this guy has few people, he is guarding a logistics city. We are now rich again!"

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "That's why I said there was nothing to bring at the beginning. My neighbors store food and I store guns. My neighbors are my granaries. As long as we maintain our combat effectiveness, these enemies will be our food."

The results of the battle were nothing to look at. With just a few men from Zanghe defending this broken city, anyone would have gotten such a result.

He did not pay too much attention to the results of the battle, but quickly called Wang Ji.

"Here!" Wang Ji jumped down from the roof. "Grand Minister of Agriculture, what can I do for you?"

"Is there any news from the court?"

Wang Ji said: "I have contacted a mechanical engineer of Wu Yao's army, but the communication time is only 20 breaths. We are too far away."

"The Nine Nether Gods have begun a massive sweep. The Wuyao Army is at least three thousand miles away from us. Wuliang Juzi is not able to communicate over such a long distance."

"But during these twenty breaths, I have passed on your message and provided some information on the deployment of troops."

"Wu Yaojun also reported back some information and told us some key intelligence."

Zhao Xing said: "What key information?"

Wang Ji pointed at the map and said, "It includes the various generals and factions under the Nine Nether God, the tribes they belong to, and the command styles of the generals."

"In addition, several sects in Lanhe Prefecture and Cangzhou Prefecture can provide us with help as long as they can match the secret code, and General Li has already given me this set of secret codes."

"Finally, he asked me to tell you that the imperial court is mobilizing a large army to rescue and asked me to report the location at all times."

After hearing this, Zhao Xing was not happy at all, but frowned: "If the court knows the news, then the Nine Nether God should also know about me."

"Originally, we only had to face the pursuit and interception of 30,000 Jiuyou troops and local garrisons, but now we may have to face an army of 400,000."

"No wonder the enemy provided support so quickly when we attacked Mincheng last time."

Before the second move, Zhao Xing had to fight guerrilla warfare in Xueling and Tagu area for half a month, adopting a mobile tactic of breaking the whole into small pieces, splitting the team into 16 routes, harassing everywhere and confusing the sight.

"If nothing unexpected happens, there are already many armies surrounding us." Zhao Xing pointed at the map and said, "Wang Ji, you and Xia Jing go contact those sectarians who surrendered. They don't need to do much, just tell us the intelligence and movements of the encirclement and suppression army. It's very easy for them to provide intelligence on any enemy army that passes through or is about to pass through their territory."

It is difficult to keep the movement of a large army secret. What Zhao Xing wants is the timeliness of the information, and there are currently three main ways to transmit information.

The first is to send someone to make the trip in person, the second is to use the method of raising a messenger eagle, and the third is the Wuliang Juzi of the mechanical master.

The first and second ones are slow and risky, but the third one is very safe. However, its disadvantage is obvious, which is the short distance.

Ruo Wang Ji has now specially restored him to the seventh rank, but his communication distance will not exceed a thousand miles. Beyond a thousand miles, whether he can contact friendly forces depends on luck.

"Nine Nether Gods..." Zhao Xing looked at the token and thought in the night.

…………

"You mean, with so many people surrounding them, You Yun not only failed to kill Zhao Xing's Ten Suns Army, but also lost Zang He's life?" Jiuyoushen was wearing a black robe, his face hidden in the shadows, revealing only a pair of eyes flashing with strange light. He exuded a strong dark aura, as if he could devour all light.

"Yes." The Mechanical Master reported, "Youyun said he is on his way to Fengwu City and must capture Zhao Xing."

"Stupid!" Jiuyoushen was extremely annoyed: "If he goes back to help now, he will be fooled again!"

"Tell him that I will personally command the encirclement and suppression, and tell him not to act rashly."

"You need to command the overall situation of Lanhe Prefecture and Cangyue Prefecture. You need to find a central location. Otherwise, the communication between the agencies cannot be transmitted in real time and quickly. The only place suitable for command is Guiyang County."

"I will personally go to Guiyang County to command the coalition forces." Jiuyoushen said coldly.

He already knew that the Great Zhou was now rapidly gathering its army, preparing to move from Ke Shen's territory to his territory, so Jiuyou Shen had to get rid of Zhao Xing before the Great Zhou could gather enough forces.

The Great Zhou can do anything, and the Goddess Wu Yue also said that in order to kill Zhao Xing, no matter the cost!
As long as Zhao Xing can be surrounded and annihilated, Da Zhou will have no reason to provide support and will still give priority to the overall situation.

"Let's set off immediately!"

The Nine Nether God flashed and disappeared on the spot.

…………

The conquest of Fengwu City gave the Ten Yang Legion an extremely precious ten days of breathing time, while also receiving a significant replenishment in military supplies and realm recovery.

But the two trips back to Tianshui River only allowed the Ten Yang Legion to survive temporarily, and the real crisis was still not resolved.

Because at this time, Jiuyou God was already very angry that his subordinates were being toyed with by Zhao Xing.

So he personally came to the center of the two prefectures, Guiyang County, to take overall command.

He knew very well that the Ten Suns Legion had a unique style of army and was good at mobile warfare. Since they had received the longest training, the army had extremely high military quality and organization. When they had a good commander, they moved like mercury pouring out of the ground, and if they were not careful, they would slip away from the encirclement.

So the Nine Nether God divided the 400,000 troops into seven groups and decided to encircle the Pin Mansion again! At the same time, he issued an order to the seven coalition forces to build a strong camp and fight a stupid battle.

Adopting the fortress tactics, hundreds of thousands of troops advanced steadily and cautiously, not allowing any large army to break out and advance rashly.

The encirclement was narrowed little by little, and the movement space of the Ten Sun Legion was restricted step by step.

This made it impossible for Zhao Xing to launch mobile warfare, and ultimately Zhao Xing and the Shiyang Legion were annihilated in the Pinfu area.

"Damn it, all the 400,000 yuan is really going to me."

After conquering Fengwu City, Zhao Xing used the connections of the Wuyao Army and secret messages to contact some sectarian figures in various parts of the two prefectures, and learned about the movements of the Jiuyou God's army from them.

But knowing this isn't very useful.

"The enemy is impenetrable and our army has no way to penetrate. Being trapped is not a solution. We must launch a battle to break out." In the council hall, Zhao Xing and senior generals discussed.

"Now, we have two choices."

"One is to attack the Tianhe Upper City (originally we attacked the small city) guarded by the direct line of the Jiuyou Army, the Great Commander Youyun." "The other is to attack the Disha City of Wan Yansong, who is under the command of the Yanguang Royal Court."

Long Xiao immediately said: "One is the main army, and the other is the side army. They must be fighting Wan Yansong, right? He must be weaker and easier to fight."

"Yes, I also think Wan Yansong should be beaten."

"The Yanguang Royal Court came to Lanhe Prefecture and they are not used to the climate here. The climate here is humid and they are not used to it."

"We have a better chance of defeating him."

The vast majority of senior officials expressed their opinions, and Long Xiao couldn't help feeling a little proud when he saw so many people agreeing with him.

It seems that I, Old Long, am also a sensible person!

"I advocate attacking Youyun, the commander-in-chief of the Jiuyou Army." At this time, Zhao Xing spoke.

"Ah? Why?" Long Xiao was puzzled, and the other generals were also scratching their heads.

"First, Wan Yansong of Disha City is indeed not as strong as Youyun, but he is not that easy to defeat either." Zhao Xing said: "To the north of him are Hou Ying's 36,000 men, and to the southeast are Wu Tingye's 48,000 men."

"Hou and Wu are both direct descendants of the Nine Nether Army."

"Once we receive the order from our superiors, we will definitely go to rescue them immediately."

"If the siege is delayed, Hou and Wu will flank us and cut off our retreat, and the situation will become dangerous."

"Second, even if we take it, we can't hold it. When the seven coalition forces arrive, it will be meaningless. So what are we fighting for? Please think about it carefully. We are not fighting for the sake of fighting. The gains and losses of a city or a place are not important."

"I have stressed this many times before. If you save the land but lose the people, you lose both the land and the people. If you save the people but lose the land, you gain both the land and the people!"

"Our goal is to create a new world!"

After hearing what Zhao Xing said, everyone fell into deep thought.

"So if we are fighting against the direct descendant of Commander Youyun, is it possible that Wan Yansong's support will not be timely?" Xia Jing said.

"Yes, Brother Xia has thought a lot about this." Zhao Xing smiled and nodded. "He believes in Keshen, not Jiuyoushen. On the contrary, the people of Yanguang Royal Court have always been at odds with Shengguang Royal Court. One is cold and the other is fierce. This is determined by culture and belief. Even if he supports, it won't be so fast, at least he won't try his best."

"After all, he is a weak team, and he is more concerned about self-preservation than making achievements. From the battle reports of the past few years, we can also infer that he is a relatively cautious person."

"But Hou Ying and Wu Tingye will also send reinforcements." Zhao Zheng thought. "They won't delay."

"That's right." Zhao Xing nodded, "But the distance between Wu Tingye and Hou Ying reinforcing Youyun's Tianhe Upper City and Wan Yansong's Disha City is much farther. What we need is a time difference."

"So, we should fight against the direct descendant of the Great Commander Wuyun. It would be great if we can take down Tianhe Upper City. This will severely damage the enemy's manpower and give us a favorable space for the next move."

"What if we can't take it down?" Chen Shijie asked.

"If we can't take it, we can cross the Tianshui River nearby to the south." Zhao Xing said, "It will create the illusion that after our army's defeat, we are eager to cross the Canglan River to the southeast and join Dong Ze's army."

"This way, all the enemies were moved to the southeast of Tianshui River."

"Create a favorable situation for our army's next maneuver."

"Again?" Long Xiao was confused. What on earth was he running around for?

…………

On March 17th, the Ten Yang Legion began to move quickly, leaving Fengwu City and attacking Tianhe Upper City guarded by Commander Youyun.

Due to Zhao Xing's great reputation and the strict orders given by Jiuyou God, Youyun suddenly felt like it was facing a formidable enemy. While preparing to defend the city, it immediately sent out a message for help.

Less than half a day into the fight, the Rangers and Wang Ji received news that Hou Ying and Wu Tingye were both sending emergency reinforcements.

A vanguard of two to three thousand people can arrive in one day.

"Stop the siege!"

Zhao Xing did not hesitate and immediately issued an order to stop the siege.

The siege stopped around 2 p.m., but Zhao Xing waited until it was almost dark before starting to withdraw his troops.

One was to reorganize the troops and divide them into formations, and the other was to confirm that Hou Ying and Wu Tingye's armies had left the city.

"According to the original plan, we will cross the Tianshui River from Tianhe Xiacheng and Sanwan Beach."

"Will we have enough time?" Liao Rulong asked worriedly, "If you wait until night, we won't be able to cross the river very quickly, and we still need to find some boats..."

Xia Jing and Zhao Xing looked at each other and laughed. "As for the boat, it's ready. Don't worry. When you get to the destination, you will definitely have a boat to take. You won't be asked to swim across the river in such a cold weather."

"Huh?" Liao Rulong immediately shut his mouth.

Xia Jing said: "As for waiting until night, one is to reorganize the army, two is to confirm that Hou Ying and Wu Tingye have left their lair, and three is to facilitate tactical insertion after dark."

"I understand." Liao Rulong suddenly realized.

In fact, he still didn't understand why he had to cross the river, but he had Zhao Zheng by his side, so he was not panicked.

There are plenty of people in the Ten Suns Legion who can use their brains.

…………

March 19th, the former Tianshui River Lower City, at the port.

The green-skinned barbarian general couldn't help but turn green when he saw Zhao Xing and others descending from the sky and appearing in front of him.

"Why are you here again?"

"Oh, what a coincidence! You are still guarding the city." Xia Jing smiled. This man was guarding Tianhe Lower City during the first crossing, but he took the opportunity to run away.

I don't know how he could be so smooth-talking, but Commander Youyun actually let him guard this broken city.

This time the general defending the city surrendered directly.

There was no way. He only had 500 people, and the situation was even worse than Zanghe's. The city hadn't even been repaired yet.

"Should I kill him or not?" Long Xiao asked.

"Ah, all you gods, please don't kill me." The general who looked like a green toad immediately knelt down. "I am just a low-level captain, with a 300-year-old mother and a wife and children who need to be fed. I came here to defend the city only because I can speak the languages ​​of 16 tribes and coordinate soldiers from different tribes. I have never killed anyone, wuwuwu..."

Everyone: "..."

"Forget it, let him go." Zhao Xing looked at his cowardly appearance and was too lazy to kill him. "Keep him to tip off Youyun and the others that we have crossed the river."

"Ah, I won't say anything, fellow gods and grandpas, just go away and I will pretend that I didn't see anything." The Toad General begged for mercy again.

How could Zhao Xing listen to his nonsense?
But his purpose was to let people know that they had crossed the river.

It doesn’t matter whether Toad says it or not, it will be better for him if he says it.

"Unlike the previous two times, we will not advance secretly this time, but advance with great fanfare." Zhao Xing said in the middle of the river. "So after landing, we will attack any city we see and will not avoid anyone."

"Ah? Isn't this very easy to track?" Liao Rulong was confused again.

"I just want Youyun's reconnaissance flying boat to see us." Zhao Xing smiled, "Otherwise, why would Jiuyou God send a large army across the river to encircle us?"

"Chen Shijie."

"I'm here." Chen Shijie responded immediately.

Zhao Xing shook his body, and a group of straw men appeared around him.

"Change!"

Zhongji method, the phantom straw man.

Now that Zhao Xing has reached the seventh level, his shape-shifting straw man can be so lifelike that it is indistinguishable from the real thing.

"You need to mobilize a team of Si Nong, including those who can use talisman paper to cast a body or those who can use straw figurine to cast a body, transfer them all to one group."

"Yes." Chen Shijie left immediately.

"Wang Ji."

"exist."

"How is the Sky-breaking Flying Boat that I asked you to modify going?"

“The transformation has been basically completed.”

"very good."

Zhao Xing smiled.

"Release all the flying boats and take off."

"Let all the clones and Dharma bodies board the Sky-breaking Flying Boat."

"At the same time, contact the sect members of Guiyang County at the junction of Lanhe Prefecture and Cangyue Prefecture, select a few people, and deliberately release our news to let the Jiuyou God of Guiyang County know that they must kill the soldiers, because they will definitely not survive after reporting false news. We must be mentally prepared." Zhao Xing said.

"Yes." Wang Ji immediately went to arrange it.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture." Zhao Zheng, who had been listening nearby, finally couldn't help but ask, "How do you know that the Nine Nether God is in Guiyang County?"

"I'll let Brother Xia teach you about this kind of thing." Zhao Xing waved his hand, "I'll get busy now."

Watching Zhao Xing walk away, Xia Jing explained helplessly: "The reason is very simple. If Jiuyou Shen wants to remotely control the entire army, then he must make sure that his mechanical division group can cover all the troops."

"From the map, only Guiyang County can fully cover 400,000 troops, transmit their orders in a timely manner, and also know our every move in a timely manner."

"If he moves to another place, his communication will be delayed by half an hour, which is very unbearable."

"So that's how it is." Zhao Zheng suddenly realized.

…………

After crossing the Tianshui River three times, Jiuyou God also learned of Zhao Xing's movements.

He glanced at the map and couldn't help but smile.

"Zhao Xing has run out of tricks. He actually crossed the Tianshui River again to attack the three cities in Fujian. He wants to use the same trick to cross through Songshan?"

“Little did he know that my seven armies had already blocked all the exits. If he dared to go here again, it would be tantamount to committing suicide.”

"God is wise." A burly middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes could not help but praise, "It seems that within seven days, Zhao Xing and his Ten Suns Army will fall in Fujian."

"After this, the throne can rest easy. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Great Zhou is panicking and withdrawing its troops, we can march north to strike hard at King Luohou's imperial guards. We can attack Dong Ze, Li Hao, or King Beichen."

"It's a pity that I can't watch him die with my own eyes." A hint of indifference flashed in Jiuyoushen's eyes.

…………

After crossing the Tianshui River for the third time, Zhao Xing sent out about 3,500 people, who kept their distance and passed through the town in a flying boat with great fanfare.

Since the ship was full of clones and talismans, there were actually very few living people, but the ship was a good ship. The Sky-Breaking Flying Boat could be said to be one of the best vehicles in Jue Tian Di Tong.

Zhao Xing announced everywhere that he had shaken off his pursuers and was carrying heavy weapons. He invited people from all sects and circles, saying that the southern barbarian tribes would defect to the Great Zhou and that they would surely be able to capture the three cities in Fujian. As long as they crossed the Canglan River, they would be able to meet up with Dong Ze.

The Nine Nether Gods and the like are simply not worth mentioning.

His fighting power was invincible, it was a pity that he didn't encounter him, otherwise, he would have been able to take the head of the Nine Nether God among the thousands of troops.

Jiuyou God sneered at such arrogant remarks.

"After escaping from the siege of a large army three times in a row, I'm afraid he has recovered well and is a little complacent."

"But you won't be so lucky this time."

Jiuyou waved his hand.

It was as if Zhao Xing's head was being cut off.

…………

Just when everyone thought that the army was heading towards Fujian.

The real Ten Yang Legion did not go to Fujian at all. Instead, they used the Mist Hiding Technique to disperse the army in the mountains, heading northeast all the way, in the opposite direction, and returned to the vicinity of the Tianshui River in the northeast section.

On the evening of March 22, an army of more than 30,000 people quietly crossed the Tianshui River from Longyoutan and other ferry crossings.

Since this was not the first time they had done this, everyone was very skilled this time. They broke up into small groups and slipped through the gaps in the 400,000-strong army.

It was only March 25th at this time, and the 400,000 troops of Jiuyou God had basically arrived south of Tianshui River, ready to capture Zhao Xing and the Shiyang Legion in one fell swoop.

He had no idea that Zhao Xing and the Shiyang Legion had already reached the north of the Tianshui River.

What was left in Fujian were only a bunch of seemingly precious equipment and a small number of living people, the rest were all 'dummies'.

The first day of April.

The Nine Nether God began to routinely inquire about the encirclement and suppression of Zhao Xing and the Ten Yang Legion.

The answers he received in the past were that Zhao Xing had been discovered and was being tracked, but today seemed a little different.

"Hou Ying's troops discovered Zhao Xing, You Yun also discovered Zhao Xing, Wan Yan Song also discovered Zhao Xing..." Jiuyou God smiled slightly, "This Zhao Xing couldn't help it anymore, and started to use the straw man clone to confuse me."

"But these straw figures of his are too crude."

“Shenzuo is wise. Unless he reaches the fifth rank, he will not be able to bring out the power of the Straw Man Technique.” A burly and handsome man next to him said with a smile.

"As for the fifth-grade [Heaven and Earth Protection], it is very difficult for Zhao Xing to obtain it. The time is too short. In just a few months, he is far from being able to gather so many effects."

"Unless 80% to 90% of the effects of every war are on him alone, how is that possible?"

Jiuyoushen nodded, it was indeed unlikely.

He is just a minister of agriculture, how could he have such strong luck?

…………

Guiyang County, a secret mountain gate.

There is a very famous Sinong sect here - Guiyuan Sect.

He and Kunyuan Academy were once one, but later, like Xuantian Academy, they split.

At this time, the leader of Guiyuan Sect, Guiyuan Divine Lord, was waiting for something at the mountain gate.

Suddenly, a young man emerged from the ground and appeared in front of him.

"The Grand Minister of Agriculture is really courageous. He is at the early stage of the sixth rank and dares to accept the invitation to meet me, a fifth rank." Guiyuan Divine Venerable laughed loudly. "Aren't you afraid that I am actually pretending to submit?"

"I believe you." Zhao Xing said seriously, "I am willing to pay for this trust and bear any consequences."

Guiyuan Shenzun's eyes were touched and he nodded slightly without saying anything else. Then he waved from behind, and immediately a group of people came out from behind the mountain gate.

Zhao Xing's pupils shrank. There were actually two fifth-grade ones and fifty-seven sixth-grade ones!
Such a scene is no less spectacular than the one when Mist Walker surrendered!
"Has the opportunity to meet the saint of Sinong today fulfilled your wish?" asked Guiyuan Divine Venerable.

"He who crossed the Tianhe River four times is truly a god. He has no regrets in death!" said a group of elderly elders with a smile, stroking their beards.

"If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening." Gui Yuanzi said, "We are willing to contribute a little to the ascension of the Grand Minister of Agriculture. We only hope that the Grand Minister of Agriculture can lead the younger generations of the sect to return to the Great Zhou together."

"You..." Zhao Xing seemed to understand something, he bowed to everyone.

When I looked up again, there was only a group of young people left in the entire mountain gate.

Guiyuan God Lord committed suicide with a group of elders, and all the authority was transferred to Zhao Xing's body. The younger generations in the mountain gate were not affected at all because of the barrier.

At this moment, Zhao Xing entered the fifth level of perfection!
"Don't worry, I will definitely take them to ascend with me." Zhao Xing waved his hand and took away all the people of Guiyuan Sect behind the mountain gate.

That is, on April 1st, Zhao Xing and the Shiyang Legion appeared in Guiyang County.

The army arrived at the empty Guiyang City, heading straight for the Nine Nether God!
At night, when the Nine Nether God asked Zhao Xing and his army where they fled to in Min.

The subordinate replied tremblingly: "God's throne, Zhao, Zhao Xingta, his army has arrived at the city of Guiyang."

"You, what did you say?!" Jiuyoushen was stunned.
