Chapter 9 Flames soaring into the sky

[Detected Yu Qing’s death in battle, started to receive inheritance, increased strength by 100, increased cultivation by 8 years, martial arts experience, and monastic experience increased by 8 years each]

Deng Zhong felt that his strength had increased significantly, and he did not mention the ax to chase Zhou Ji. He threw the sword directly from a few feet away. What a coincidence, the sword was impartial and hit Zhou Ji's vest, with great power.

He flew up with his whole body and nailed him to the arrow tower nearby.

Deng Zhong's troops in Xiqi, who originally wanted to besiege him, were so frightened that they retreated when they saw how heroic he was.

Human arm strength is limited, but Deng Zhong casually threw a sword several feet long and lifted up a strong man weighing nearly two hundred kilograms. He flew several feet away and was nailed to the arrow tower, more than ten feet off the ground. Such power

It has gone beyond the realm of mortals.

"No wonder the man who was able to kill General Xinjia has such amazing force, it's surprising."

After a while, Zhou Ji died in battle, and surprise flashed across Yang Jian's face.

A mere Zhou Ji was insignificant in the army, and it would be no pity to die. But Deng Zhong's combat effectiveness was beyond his expectation. He never expected that a military general could have such magical power.

It stands to reason that only practitioners can master such magical power. There must be a secret in Deng Zhong. I will ask the master when I see him next time.

Yang Jian had a change of heart and thought that Deng Zhong was a big threat to the Xiqi Army, so he planned to deal with him tonight to eliminate future troubles.

As for the opponent's burst of divine power, Yang Jian didn't take it seriously. He had been practicing for so many years, and he was the best among his peers in terms of spells and martial arts. In addition, he was proficient in the art of transformation and had few opponents on the battlefield.

Yang Jian sighed and had no choice but to give up on dealing with Deng Zhong. He swiped the spear in his hand and poured in powerful magic power, forcibly dividing the land into two pieces. The Shang army stood on one side, and he and hundreds of Xiqi troops stood on the other side.

Even though he had extraordinary military strength and still had a lot of magic power in his body, Deng Zhong still had no confidence in facing Yang Jian. He planned to hide behind thousands of merchant troops to prevent Yang Jian from killing him.

Deng Zhong looked at Yang Jian warily and said, "General Yang has given me the reward."

After a while, Fairy Caiyun rushed over and wanted to force Yang Jian to stay. However, Yang Jian had completed his mission and had no intention of getting entangled with Fairy Caiyun. He ordered to retreat, but Deng Zhong led his army to stop him.

After a fight, Yang Jian left in despair with only a few hundred remaining soldiers.

Wen Taishi said: "You have to rely on fellow Taoists for this matter."

"Soldiers, come with me to set fire and light food."

Deng Zhong felt a little guilty. If he had prevented Yu Qing from confronting Yang Jian at that time, Yu Qing's fate might have changed.

…

"It's not that easy to run away."

Fairy Caiyun said hurriedly: "As long as Pindao is in business for one day, it is his duty to help Brother Wen quell the rebellion."

After saying that, he immediately said loudly: "Soldiers, there is no need to fight with the enemy. Return to the camp quickly."

Wen Taishi said: "It's not your fault. Yang Jian has great magic power and is extremely cunning. It's normal for you to be defeated by Yu Qing."

Wen Taishi said: "I had already expected Jiang Ziya to attack the camp, but I didn't expect that he would send Yang Jian to sneak attack the rear camp, causing the loss of half of our army's food and grass."

"Thank you, Grand Master, for your kindness."

Yang Jian gave an order, and hundreds of Xiqi troops rushed towards the granary.

But then again, in this divine catastrophe, the saints are the chess players and the common people are the pawns. Even if I saved Yu Qing's life this time, what about next time? I don't have that kind of friendship with Yu Qing, and we are always on the battlefield.

Pay attention to his safety.

Yang Jian knew Deng Zhong's plan, and with a quick step, he rushed in front of Deng Zhong, pointing his spear like a green dragon's claws at Deng Zhong. Deng Zhong swung his mountain axe, and the two weapons intersected with great force, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Soldiers, stop this man."

"Yes, Yang has come to Xiqi to fight for many years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a powerful mortal general."

"Don't act rashly."

After decades of fighting, Grand Master Wen has always had the initiative on the battlefield, and he does not want to fall into passivity in the face of Jiang Ziya.

Yang Jian's reputation was as loud as thunder. In later generations, his reputation even surpassed that of Jiang Ziya. It was the first time I met him face to face on the battlefield. I would have to fight him later. To say I wasn't nervous would be a lie.

Wen Taishi said: "Thanks to Deng Zhong for this. If it hadn't been for his suggestion to store the grain and grass in two places, otherwise our army would have been out of food at this time and had to evacuate Wohu Ridge. As a result, we would have been passive on the battlefield."

Yang Jian sneered and shook the tip of the spear. The magic power was thrown away through the tip of the spear and fell to the ground with a rumble and dust. Deng Zhong was hit by one of the magic powers and grunted. He did not bother with Yang Jian and went to Qianqian Business.

The army moves closer.

Hearing this, several Xiqi soldiers surrounded Deng Zhong. Deng Zhong did not bother with them. He jumped lightly, fell behind a few people, and in the blink of an eye got into the crowd of merchant soldiers.

Yang Jian made up his mind to keep Deng Zhong alive, and naturally he would not let him escape.

After the war ended, Deng Zhong immediately apologized to Master Wen.

Yang Jian acted very quickly, and soon the campfire was blazing into the sky.

Ji Li was heartbroken when he heard that Yu Qing had died in the battle.

Deng Zhong cursed in his heart, it's good to have magic power. He asked Yang Jian to complete the obviously impossible task. Fortunately, he had made two preparations, otherwise he would not be able to communicate with Grand Master Wen.

Fairy Caiyun said: "I see, Brother Wen has a talent like General Deng under his command, so there is hope of defeating Jiang Ziya."

Fairy Caiyun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Wen, I thought all the food and grass had been burned."

When the thousands of merchant troops protecting Deng Zhong heard this, they were worried about losing food and grass, and rushed to stop him. However, the ravine created by Yang Jian was more than one meter wide, and it was pitch dark below. Most of them rushed forward and then retreated.

On the battlefield, casualties were unavoidable. Yu Qing died. Although Master Wen was sad, he did not blame Deng Zhong. He only blamed himself for not thinking carefully at the beginning. If Fairy Caiyun was allowed to assist Deng Zhong in guarding the food and grass,

Yang Jian's attack on the camp will not succeed.

"Grand Master, I was unlucky in guarding the grain and grass, and also caused General Yu Qing to die tragically. I am guilty, please punish me."

Deng Zhong snorted coldly and put away his mountain axe. Seeing that the merchant army who was fighting with the Xiqi army had withdrawn, he quickly approached them.

Not long after Yang Jian left, the sound of fighting in the front camp gradually stopped. Fairy Caiyun looked at the raging fire, shouted, and quickly cast rain, but when the fire was extinguished, the grain in the granary was almost reduced to ashes.

Wen Taishi smiled, then sighed and said: "It's a pity that Shi Tianjun, Zhao Gongming and others were brutally killed by the Chan Cult. Otherwise, with them here, why would I be trapped in Crouching Tiger Ridge."

Fairy Caiyun said: "Brother Wen, there is no need to be discouraged. I have many talents in the teachings, which are far beyond the reach of the teachings. When we leave Xiqi, invite overseas immortals, and come to Xiqi to avenge our shame."

"Fellow Taoist is absolutely right."

After Fairy Caiyun said this, the Grand Master felt much better.
