Taishi's 50,000 elite troops have arrived at Yangping Pass a few days ago.
When knocking on the pass, the big flag with the word "Chu" sounded loudly, and some powerful generals came to challenge.
At Yangping Pass, Cao Su had sent Ma Chao before, and Shi Yong arrived here to guard it, making it look like he might cross the Luoshui River at any time.
Later, after the war calmed down, Ma Chao and Shi Yong changed defenses, and the place was handed over to Luo Yi, Du Ning and others to guard it.
Now the guard general of Yangping Pass is Luo Yi, and Du Ning is the deputy general.
Although Du Ning is only a deputy general, he is a master of the third level of strength realm.
Yangping Pass is located between two mountains. The pass is so narrow that the Taishi army cannot line up in a single line. After setting up camp, a few thousand troops, led by Chu Xinfeng, came to shout insults in an attempt to seduce the Yangping Pass guard.
A battle out of seclusion.
Luo Yi is the most stable general under Cao Su. He is a cautious and rigid person who will not move at all when faced with the provocation of the enemy.
Yangping Pass was easy to defend but difficult to attack. After two days of attack, the Grand Master's army found that the attack was only ineffective. After leaving thousands of corpses behind, they returned to the camp, and then there was no more movement.
Until this day, more than ten important Qi refiners were welcomed into the camp.
Chu Xinfeng invited everyone to go to Guanqian to have a look.
Most of the qi refiners who come here are friends of the Grand Master and the Chu family. Although there are no qi refiners from the Dao Palace, they are all well-known in the world of cultivation. Among them, the qi refiners from Qixing Mountain are the most important.
positive.
Qixing Mountain, like the Chiyun Sect and other sects, is a sect that practices both Taoism and martial arts. It had some grudges with Cao Su before.
Everyone looked at each other from a distance in front of the pass. The Qi Refiner who came to support from Qixing Mountain took the initiative to speak and proposed the idea of using spiritual magic to break the pass: "This pass is majestic, and it only depends on the soldiers' lives to fill it until next year."
It may not be possible to conquer this level.”
"This pass is sandwiched between two mountains. Although it is steep, it also poses a certain danger. We can set up a large spiritual fire array and use the secret method of spiritual fire. The sky is dry and everything is dry. We can use spiritual fire to break through this pass."
Chu Xinfeng had already thought about the fire attack strategy, but although there were high mountains on both sides of the pass, there was wasteland in front of it.
Moreover, all the trees near the pass have been cut down, so it is extremely difficult to carry out a fire attack, and the direction of the wind in the mountain may change at any time. An ordinary fire attack is very likely to set yourself on fire.
Only by using magic, magic can control the spiritual fire, and the spiritual fire sweeps across the barrier, can it have the effect of breaking through the barrier.
Therefore, when Chu Xinfeng heard that the Qixing Mountain master took the initiative to talk about this method, he was immediately overjoyed: "If you can really break this barrier with this method, then you will be the top contributors to breaking the barrier, and the grand master will also give you more rewards."
Everyone was invited to support, some because of their cooperation with the Grand Master, and some simply because they were invited by the Grand Master.
No matter what the purpose is, as long as it is a reward, everyone should be willing to take it, and no one will object to too many rewards.
"It's not enough to have spiritual fire, you have to borrow wind."
"There is only one road between the valleys. The fire takes advantage of the wind and turns into a sea of fire directly to the north. Not only can they break through this pass, but the elite of Cao's army at this pass will also die in one battle!"
When the Qi Refiners saw the rewards, they all put forward their own ideas.
Chu Xinfeng was very satisfied with everyone's attitude. Although it was his first time to lead an army in battle, he had already mastered the essence of Taoist and martial arts cooperation. The same was true on the battlefield. As a large number of Qi refiners participated in the battle for the general trend of the world, the way of war changed.
There are some visible changes.
The "cannon fodder" attributes of ordinary soldiers are becoming more and more prominent. Those who can really play a decisive role in local wars are firstly high-grade warriors and secondly Qi refiners.
Qi warriors have a variety of methods. When warriors are helpless and may even resort to crude means such as "assassination" or "raid", qi warriors can find other ways to use magic to solve martial arts problems, or even change local battlefields.
Terrain effect.
Cao Su also attached great importance to Qi Refiners and took action.
In addition to reaching cooperation with Jiuling Mountain, Cao Su also recruited some monks to join Cao's army.
Today's Cao Jun is very different from the Cao Jun who was composed of pure warriors in the early years. After the First World War in Jizhou, Cao Jun has begun to transform and upgrade its structure. Now at the Yangping Pass, Luo Yi and Du Ning are not the only two warriors guarding the pass.
There are also several Qi Refiners in the Dan Formation stage who are also cooperating with the two of them to guard the area.
However, at this time, the qi masters at Yangping Pass had not yet noticed that the opponent was about to use fire attack techniques. They still followed the routine and laid out some basic formations before the pass to interfere and confuse the opponent's sight.
---------------
At the same time, a stream of light shot over from the northwest.
It flew to the south quickly and quietly.
Cities, mountains, and rivers were swept past, and when the two armies were fighting, no one noticed this stream of light.
In the stream of light, Cao Su was wearing black armor, looking down at the vast land indifferently.
Cao Su paused in the air. The confrontation between the two armies at Yangping Pass could be clearly seen from high in the air.
He came to the front line quietly alone. No one knew that General Cao Su had arrived, and he did not tell anyone else.
"If Yangping Pass is broken, it will be equivalent to handing over the southern gateway to Jizhou. The enemy can march straight in and attack Jizhou Prefecture. During this period, there will be no other big cities to defend."
"The two armies are fighting, and there is no result in holding on. Since we want to paralyze the grand master, we must drag this army into the quagmire of war."
Cao Su sat and watched the world, and had a deep understanding of the overall situation. Although the Grand Master came with one hundred thousand troops this time, it still didn't look like he was going to fight Cao Su in an all-out battle. After all, he might not be able to rely only on these one hundred thousand troops.
The one who captured the four states.
In the later stage, Rongzheng may add more troops.
Cao Su thought in his mind, overlooking the enemy camp, he could feel the majestic power of Qi and blood of the 50,000 soldiers. In contrast, the elite of Cao's army stationed at Yangping Pass also had strong Qi and strong Qi and blood.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, Cao Su noticed that there seemed to be some strange movements in the enemy camp.
"Um?"
He watched silently and noticed that several figures like streams of light suddenly came to the hills on both sides.
"Qi Refiner?"
Cao Su was stunned. He was standing higher in the air, and no one below noticed him.
But he clearly saw that these dozen or so streams of light began to be busy on the hills on both sides.
Arranged?
Cao Su watched them silently as they planted flags, set up tables, and set up formations. The Qi Practitioners moved very quickly. Under the influence of their magic power, they quickly built two simple formations, which happened to be on the top of the mountains on the left and right sides.
one of each.
Actually setting up a formation on the mountain, Luo Yi was careless.
Cao Su's eyes flashed. Luo Yi had never experienced this kind of thing before, so it was normal not to have a corresponding reaction.
But even high-level strength masters like Du Ning and Qi Masters equipped with Luo Yi didn't notice it, so they were a bit derelict in their duties and were somewhat careless.
He watched silently as the enemy's Qi Refiners completed setting up all the formations on both sides.
Then two Qigong practitioners wearing black Taoist robes walked up to the formation and started dancing.
Words were muttered, obscure words came out of their mouths, the formations on the mountain glowed slightly, and there seemed to be a little strange aura circulating in the silent valley.
"This is too coincidental..."
Cao Su didn't expect such a thing to happen. He rushed to the front line immediately and saw what new strategy the other party was using.
With a strange look on his face, he silently took out the bronze mask and put it on his face.
The reason for wearing a mask is not to hide one's identity, but to prevent the other party from knowing that one has arrived on the battlefield in advance.
Cao Su thought to himself, didn't this create an opportunity for him as a martial artist? How could any martial artist give up the crispy skin he got?
He concentrated on giving up, and at the same time secretly pulled out a blade from his waist, and fell from the air like a fallen leaf, using Qinggong, it floated down.
------------------
Qixing Mountain is backed by Rongzheng Ship, and has been a partner for many years.
Before, when Cao Su was leaving the capital of the gods, Qixing Mountain had obstructed Cao Su. In the end, he was ripped off by Cao Su and the matter was resolved after leaving a lot of food behind. However, the relationship between the two sides was finally forged.
And no one has any intention of solving this problem.
The Qixingshan Qi refiner who assisted Chu Xinfeng was Shi Tianyuan, a great monk in the late stage of pill formation.
This is a good name given by Shi Tianyuan. The two characters "Tianyuan" in it are clearly the supreme god Tianyuan of Pengci. He is also the first god worshiped in Taoist palaces and spread among the people.
Anyway, he is a Taoist priest from Qixing Mountain, and the Taoist Palace has no control over him.
Cooperating with the Grand Master, the power of Qixing Mountain has skyrocketed in the past two years.
Daogong has made it clear that it will not easily interfere with court affairs, so Rongzheng can only find a replacement. In fact, Rongzheng has been associated with Qixingshan for a long time. Now it is just a continuation of the relationship, and the relationship between the two is even more serious.
Just tight.
Shi Tianyuan and his fellow juniors, as the "borrowing wind" duo at Yangping Pass this time, walked out of the camp gate late at night and borrowed the wind on the mountain.
Qixing Mountain Taoism and martial arts are separated, and Qigong practitioners are also quite famous in the world of cultivation. The most prominent secret method is the "Seven Star Blessing Technique", which can use the power of heaven and earth to change visions, such as borrowing wind, borrowing rain, borrowing snow, etc.
.
Changing the celestial phenomena cannot be done by human beings, so it is necessary to first use the altar, and then use the power of the formation to promote the success of the spell.
The two began to "bless themselves" almost at the same time, dancing and dancing to convey a trace of rhythm.
Gradually, the two altars lit up, and a breeze suddenly drifted in the originally silent and windless valley.
"effective!"
In front of Yangping Pass, Chu Xinfeng stayed up all night. The Qixing Mountain Qi Master took advantage of the wind, so he should use spiritual fire to attack Yangping Pass.
The ones who used the spiritual fire were the Qi Masters from other sects except Qixing Mountain. There was a Qi Master in a red robe who closed his eyes and meditated in front of the camp, looking confident.
"That's great. As long as the wind blows, if you attack Yangping Pass again, Yangping Pass will be destroyed by itself."
Chu Xinfeng looked happy, as if he could see Yangping Pass being burned into ruins.
At this time, no one in Yangping Pass noticed that the enemy was casting spells. Everyone still maintained their original thinking. They did not expect that today's war would have been completely changed beyond recognition and could not be viewed with the original thinking.
On the top of the mountains on both sides, Cao Su quietly fell down and stepped on the top of the mountain.
The distance from the altar where the spell is cast is only a mile or two. With his current explosive power, the distance of one or two miles is no different from a face-to-face fight.
Especially when the other party has not responded, he can rush hundreds of steps in just the time it takes for the other party to react.
A cut of the evil sword had been drawn out. Cao Su looked at Taoist Priest Tianyuan who was dancing on the altar in silence. He still used the safest method. He first held his breath, then moved forward slightly, getting closer to the priest little by little.
The place of altar.
He walked over quietly and stepped on a few dead branches and leaves on the top of the mountain.
The distance was still far, and the other party didn't notice Cao Su at all.
Just as he was about to enter the range where Cao Su could radiate the sword light at any time, the magic circle suddenly emitted a bright yellow light. The yellow light rotated crazily around the magic circle, which was quite spiritual.
"who?"
Taoist Master Tianyuan, who was casting a spell, shouted angrily, and the other disciples around him immediately reacted and turned their heads.
But seeing that yellow light blooming in the night sky, and finally landing on the head of Taoist Priest Tianyuan, it turned out to be a huge flag, with the sun, moon and stars embroidered on it, mountains and rivers, suddenly warning at this moment.
Cao Su, who was wearing a bronze mask, stopped hiding and walked out of the darkness.
There was almost no breath on Cao Su's body. If it weren't for the warning of the yellow flag magic weapon, ordinary people could only feel that he was like a stone, without any breath of life.
"Who are you?"
In the middle of the night, while I was casting a spell, I saw a person watching from the side. Anyone who saw this situation would be heartbroken.
At this moment, Cao Su had already pulled out half of the cold-glazing blade, and it was very clear whether he was an enemy or not a friend.
"This magic circle is really good."
The young man hiding under the mask sneered. At this moment, he observed the situation on the field. In addition to Taoist Master Tianyuan, there were three ascetics on the mountain. One of them was a late-stage ascetic in the alchemy formation, and the others were all in the alchemy formation stage.
Mid-term.
"Those who hide their heads and show their tails, why don't you retreat quickly?"
The late-stage alchemy cultivator who protected the Dharma was an impetuous guy. He took out a jade flute directly from his storage bag and blew it suddenly on the jade flute. Suddenly bursts of black smoke came out from the jade flute.
The smoke turned into a man holding a giant axe, and came towards Cao Su.
"Hercules!"
Taoist Master Tianyuan, whose spellcasting was interrupted, was determined at this moment. The junior brother's Vajra Warrior seems to have been cultivated to a high-level combat power in the power realm. This kind of combat power is indeed unparalleled in the later stage of pill formation, which is equivalent to fighting with others.
, you can always use more to defeat less.
The other two young monks who were in the middle stage of forming the pills all muttered something to each other. After forming the seals, they put on yellow light shields to ensure their own safety.
The man with the giant ax that turned into black smoke was more than ten feet tall, much bigger than Cao Su. The handle of the giant ax was extremely huge. Like a small hill, it struck at Cao Su's head.
Qixingshan is quite vigilant and knows the principle of striking first to gain the upper hand.
Cao Su had no choice but to attack by force if his sneak attack failed, but if he attacked by force, it was not necessary to fight with this strong man.
The strongman looked a little slow. Cao Su turned around and disappeared into the darkness like a ghost in the blue smoke.
"So fast!"
The Qi-refiners at Qixing Mountain were horrified.
When he looked at Cao Su again, Cao Su had already appeared on the magic circle, with the evil sword drawn in his hand.
The cold light on the evil sword was sharp, and an extremely powerful aura of the first level of strength rose into the sky. The majestic internal energy circulated around the body, turning into a huge, strong and sharp sword energy, and slashed towards Taoist Priest Tianyuan's array.
.
Taoist Priest Tianyuan's pupils shrank, showing a look of horror.
