Chapter 462: Righteous Fire is Executed [Two in One]

At the moment when Liang Yue charged into the battle alone, the battle in the center of the Nanzhou military town was also entering its most intense stage.

Compared with Nangong Lian, Chen Daoguan should not be much inferior in pure cultivation, but one is a fire-based Qi-refining practitioner with great killing power, while the other is a warrior with fewer magical powers.

Facing the large-scale magical power of the Qi Refiner, the warrior had no way to prevent the people around him from being affected. He could only try to get close to kill him and solve the problem at the source. However, Chen Daoguan's strength was not enough to do this. He could only try to threaten Nangong Lian, but the effect was not high.

Fortunately, support arrived in time. A huge void hand dropped from the sky and immediately suppressed the disastrous red lotus.

The universe was shaken with a rumble, and all the flames were sucked into a gap in the void, about to explode in a deserted place. As the big hand dissipated, a figure in white descended from the night sky, and Chen Su stood in the air with a faint smile.

"Is... you?" Chen Daoguan looked a little unnatural when he saw the person coming.

He and Chen Su are old acquaintances, and to be honest, they are somewhat related.

At the beginning, they were all the younger generation of the Chen family. Chen Daoguan was a direct descendant of the eldest house. He showed his martial arts skills since he was young and had a respected status. He was the center of attention among the Chen family members of the same age.

Chen Su was from a side branch, and his parents were not well-received in the family. However, although he had a low status, he was never flattering and would not tolerate any grievance, so it was inevitable that he was ostracized by the children headed by the eldest son.

Later, Chen Su awakened his talent for Qi Refining and was directly selected by Sanqing Mountain to become the direct disciple of Master Zhang Xuan. Only then did the family pay attention to him. But at this time, it was impossible for Chen Su to recognize his identity.

Nowadays, the Chen family has always kept silent about the Order to Execute Evil. A genius who could have become the pillar of the family was squeezed out because of the stupidity of some people. Combined with the current situation of the gradual decline of the Chen family, as long as this name is mentioned, the Chen family feels like being slapped in the face.

The better Chen Su does, the more painful the slaps in the Chen family's face will be.

Fortunately, Chen Su did not take any retaliatory actions, and he never mentioned the Chen family, as if the two sides had never had any relationship, and they maintained superficial peace.

Now that he discovered that the person who came down from the sky to rescue the Nanzhou military town was actually Chen Su, Chen Daoguan naturally felt mixed emotions.

Compared to his subtle expression, Chen Su was much calmer. He did not even turn around, leaving only his back to Chen Daoguan. Instead, he faced Nangong Lian and said with a smile, "When I was in the Divine Capital, I fought with another strong man from the Fire Orthodoxy. Her cultivation was not as good as yours, but she had Zhurong Fire in her hands, so she was more difficult to deal with."

"I can still kill you without Zhurong Fire!" Nangong Lian's eyes were sharp, and she clasped her hands together. In an instant, the sky seemed to have countless big holes, and rays of heavenly fire fell like rain, covering half of the Nanzhou military town.

In an instant, it was like the end of the world.

Chen Su flicked his sleeves, and the world suddenly turned upside down. All the heavenly fires flew back to the sky and dissipated into the sky before they could fall to the ground.

Nangong Lian's devastating magical power was so easily resolved by him.

"When I said it was tricky, I didn't mean it was dangerous. I just severely injured her with one move, and she escaped in the end." Chen Su continued to speak lightly, then spread out his five fingers and pressed them down on his body.

Bang!
It was as if a heavy seal was stamped on the earth, and the rhythm of Tao between heaven and earth was buzzing and echoing.

All the flames on the battlefield were instantly dissipated in the wind and extinguished.

The woman tried to mobilize the heavenly fire again, but found that no fire could be ignited in this area. The rhythm of fire between heaven and earth was all sealed!

"This is the soul-sealing technique of the Xuanmen Yin-Yang lineage!" She immediately recognized Chen Su's identity and retreated quickly, "You are Xiao Wuchang!"

"Haha." Chen Su still smiled and responded, "When you work for the court, you should call me Zhuxie Ling."

He pushed his palm forward again, and an invisible void barrier quickly pushed towards the woman. As long as she was covered, she would be immediately sucked into Chen Su's small world and would never be able to escape.

Nangong Lian's golden robe glowed red, and she flew away like a meteor in an instant, apparently using some kind of life-saving magic weapon. Even if a strong man of this level was defeated, it would be difficult to stop him.

But just when she was about to escape, another sneaky figure suddenly appeared in front of her. It was a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe with a lewd smile on his face. "I knew you would run away from here!"

The middle-aged Taoist held a sword in his hand and swung it towards the direction where the meteor was coming from. It seemed that there was still some distance away, but his sword was slow and the meteor was fast, so when the sword fell, it just pierced the meteor.

Perfect control.

laugh--

As the sword fell, all the Taoist charm around it seemed to disappear, and the magic weapons lost their effectiveness. Nangong Lian suddenly felt his body become heavy, and then he was stabbed in the dantian by the sword, which dispersed all his true energy.

"Ugh..." She cried out in pain, looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest in front of her, and blurted out: "Shameless!"

Judging from his cultivation level, he is also a top-notch grandmaster in the world. The sword skills he used in this attack were also at the pinnacle. It was unexpected that he had been lying in ambush here without anyone noticing, waiting to attack him while he was running away.

This is too doggy!
This great sword master is naturally Wang Rulin.

Relying on his rich experience in military tactics and accurate assessment of the situation, he had already anticipated the direction in which the woman would escape when Chen Su arrived, and that's why he carried out the arrest.

If he and Chen Su attack from the front together, it would be very difficult to keep the person.

In response to the woman's scolding, he just chuckled and said, "Girl, it's fate that you bumped into my sword yourself."

Nangong Lian could only look away and say nothing more.

Seeing his shameless look, I knew it was useless to scold him anymore... I was afraid he would feel good if I scolded him too much.

At the same time, she also had a hint of doubt in her heart. This operation was very confidential. All the participating Yihuo followers had gathered in the mountains many days ago, and no one was allowed to go out.

How did the news leak out?

Chen Su, as the commander of the Evil Slayer Order, and this wretched Taoist priest, were obviously not powerful figures stationed in Nanzhou. They were able to arrive so timely, which meant they must have received the news in advance.

So weird.

Wang Rulin seemed to see through her thoughts and snorted twice, "Why do you have to mess with my apprentice? He is half as smart as I am..."

The smoke of war had just settled here when a new wave of turmoil arose over there.

Suddenly, a strange python leaped into the air and rushed towards Wang Rulin. Chunyu Fu, who was wearing a bamboo hat, also appeared from midair and shouted, "Third Master, come and help us. We can't let the Righteous Fire Sect Leader fall into the hands of the imperial court!"

The strange python was eerie and brought with it gusts of fishy wind, making quite a noise.

But Wang Rulin just swept his sword, and Xiao Wenyue was in the air, and he cut it in half with one sword, "It's just a trifle."

After the strange python was shattered, Chunyu Fu and Lu Renxian appeared at the same time.

They had no intention of showing up, but Chen Su and Wang Rulin suddenly arrived, and seeing that the situation was not good, they were a little late when they wanted to come to support. They could only come to try to rescue people after Nangong Lian was captured.

Wang Rulin perked up when he saw Lu Renxian. "Okay, Junior Brother, this matter is related to you. So, you want to snatch me away?"

"Brother..." Lu Renxian was a little embarrassed. He glanced at Nangong Lian and knew that this person was extremely important to Bashan. Bashan was also involved in the Yihuo Sect's affairs. If she was arrested so easily, the court would probably take action against Bashan immediately after resolving the chaos in the south.

But the one who restrained her was Wang Rulin. "I understand, everyone serves his own master." Wang Rulin said, "Go ahead, you are no match for me anyway. But you should think carefully before you attack... Who was it that saved you when you were on the verge of death? Who is it that allows you to still be here alive? Who is it..."

"Hey!" Lu Renxian frowned and could only sigh angrily, then turned around and turned into a sword light and flew away.

The reason why he was so angry was not only because he failed to save Nangong Lian this time, but also because he knew in his heart that if Wang Rulin caught him, he would be in danger for the rest of his life.

Unless he never meets this good senior brother again...

Chunyu Fu had no choice but to leave with them.

Chen Su and Chen Daoguan, who were chasing after them, knew that it would be difficult to stop these two men with their level of cultivation, so they simply did not take any action.

Chen Su used a ban to lock up Nangong Lian's cultivation, then turned around and said, "General Chen, please lead the army to clean up the mess."

Chen Daoguan nodded, then said hesitantly: "This time the Nanzhou military town is in great trouble, thank you for the help of Zhuxie Ling."

Chen Su smiled calmly and said, "The person you should thank the most is that young man."

"Ok?"

Chen Daoguan turned his head and saw that among the thousands of soldiers and horses, there was a man in brocade clothes riding a horse, charging left and right as if he was in an empty space.

……

Compared to the crushing victory of the strong on the battlefield, there is actually not much strength advantage in the melee of military formations.

Although there were many soldiers in the Nanzhou military town, most of them were wounded, and the remaining people also suffered many casualties in the first wave of attack. The most important thing was that they were all stunned by the fire attack, and their morale was very low. They could only barely hold on in formation.

The Righteous Fire Sect was extremely powerful, like a group of wolves devouring a tiger.

But as Liang Yue led his men to charge in, the Yihuo Sect, which was originally planning a surprise attack, was suddenly ambushed. The overall cultivation level of the elite imperial guards was already much higher, and the Yihuo Sect members could not be stopped wherever they passed, and they directly rushed in and killed on horseback.

The rear formation of the Righteous Fire Sect was instantly dispersed and panicked. Once the formation was disrupted, the formation became weak. The morale of the soldiers of the Nanzhou Military Town in front was greatly boosted, and they also rushed out.

The most frightening thing is to be attacked from both sides. The Yihuo Sect's troops were suddenly suppressed from the front, and were sandwiched between the Imperial Guards and the Nanzhou Army, and were defeated on the spot.

Attacked from both sides, caught in a dilemma, and surrounded.

In a military battle, the battle is often all about momentum. The Yihuo Sect was defeated by the enemy and was immediately attacked from both sides. By the time someone discovered that the number of supporting imperial troops was small and the Nanzhou military town in front was mostly wounded soldiers, it was too late.

If the Imperial Guards were large in number and could surround the Yihuo Sect's men, perhaps they could inspire their will to fight to the death and hold out for a while longer. However, the Imperial Guards were not enough to surround the Yihuo Sect's rear, leaving the Yihuo Sect's men with a way to escape. Soon, they all threw away their armor and turned to flee.

If we run away, we will be completely defeated.

Liang Yue had made a great contribution in this. After he rushed around in the Qi Refiners' camp for a while, he saw that all the Qi Refiners of the Righteous Fire Sect had scattered into the crowd and it was difficult to pursue them. The flags in the army were still waving, trying to reorganize the formation.

He rode his horse directly towards the Yihuo Sect's banner. There were countless guardians under the banner, not only the Yihuo Sect's master elders, but also several cavalry generals who tried to stop him. The general, blessed by the military formation, was mighty and majestic, with a Dharma image that held up the sky, and his sword was extremely terrifying when he swung it!

Liang Yue soared into the air and sacrificed his Dharma image, with thunder on the left and fire on the right, and collided with the enemy fiercely. The two Dharma images exploded at the same time.

In the flames that covered the sky, Liang Yue instantly activated the state of emptiness. The entire battlefield was already in chaos, and after he activated the state of emptiness, no one could see his trace.

Liang Yue jumped under the big flag. The leader and elder of the Yihuo Sect under his command was fighting with the strong men of the Nanzhou Army. The two sides were fighting back and forth, and the situation was very dangerous.

He landed directly beside the elder, gathered his internal energy and stabbed out with a sword!
The Yihuo Sect elder never expected that there would be a sword in his back. Are those warriors who protect the sect just there to eat for nothing?
Caught off guard, a sword pierced his chest and blood spurted out immediately.

"Ah!" The Yihuo Sect elder turned back in anger, but the powerful Qi-refining warrior of the Nanzhou Army in front of him also seized the opportunity, drove a flying eagle, and with a sharp cry, chopped off his head with one claw.

laugh--

As soon as the elder died, the surrounding warriors were in chaos. Liang Yue rushed into the sky twice and came under the big flag. Countless red scarves rushed over, and Da Wenyue swept across the area!
Together with the big flag, they were all swept over by this sword!
In the chaotic battle, the big flag is the center of the military spirit.

The flags fell and the formations collapsed. The Righteous Fire followers no longer had any fighting spirit and suffered a crushing defeat.

Liang Yue held the elder's head high in his hand, stepped on the Yihuo Sect's flag, and shouted loudly with his strong energy: "The court's 200,000 troops have arrived! Yihuo Sect members must surrender quickly, otherwise they will die!"

What he shouted might be fake, but the head in his hands and the flag under his feet were real, which accelerated the escape of the Righteous Fire Cultists.

Once the battle enters the stage of chasing and killing the defeated troops, it becomes much simpler.

Sometimes, 800 cavalrymen could chase down the remnant of 100,000 troops. Even if there were clear-headed people who wanted to turn around and fight, the first thing they would face was their comrades running wildly. The most terrifying thing was being trampled by their comrades, not being chased by the enemy.

"Chase!" Liang Yue shouted and ordered the imperial guards to give chase.

Although it is said that one should not pursue a desperate enemy, there are many provincial capitals near the Nanzhou military town. He is afraid that these fleeing Yihuo cultists will affect the safety of the people in the nearby cities, so it would be best to wipe them out immediately.

As he was giving orders, a cavalry general from the Nanzhou Army stopped beside him and clasped his hands, "Your Excellency, you have great skills and a brave spirit! The Nanzhou Army is grateful to you for your help. I wonder which army you are from?"

Liang Yue politely replied, "I am the third-rank immortal official of the Zhuxie Division, the companion reader of the Eastern Palace, and the deputy prison officer of Qingdu, Liang Yue."

The other cavalry general was startled, "Huh?"

None of these names sound like the kind of people who would go into battle and kill the enemy, right?
You know, no matter how strong a martial arts master is, when he first goes to the battlefield, he will be afraid of the military formation. Having a high talent for martial arts does not necessarily mean that he will be good at fighting.

It takes years of training in blood and fire to become a true warrior.

In particular, his judgments in the battle formation were extremely accurate. First, stepping on the formation of the Qi Refiners and then seizing the flag were all extremely important moves.

This young man was not wearing armor, he killed generals and seized flags, and he looked like he was strolling in the garden leisurely. He really thought he was a general who had experienced many battles.

Is it talent that makes you so good?
Seeing the other party's surprised face, Liang Yue smiled and said, "Although I have never served in the army or fought in a war, I have learned some military tactics."

When he first set out, he was worried that he had never experienced military combat and was a little nervous.

The master gave him some urgent instructions, and his words are still fresh in his mind.

"On the battlefield, you pick on those who are weaker than you, especially those who have much lower cultivation than you. You should try not to be soft-hearted. If you meet someone stronger than you, let them fight head-on while you secretly finish them off. What do you mean by fair fight? The battlefield is not a fighting arena. How can you talk about fairness?"

"You said that my fighting in the ring is unfair? The ring is not a government office, so how can you talk about fairness?"

"What if I end up in government? My disciple is a prison officer, what can I say..."
