The ninth-level technique of Onmyodo is called Yin-Yang Dividing, and the eighth-level technique is called Virtual Reality Lianghua.
A ninth-level Onmyoji can separate the two qi of yin and yang, use the two qi to perform simple attacks, and can drive simple magic circles.
When you reach the eighth level of virtual and real transformation, you have reached a new realm. To put it simply, it is the physicalization of the two qi of yin and yang.
Eighth-level cultivators can prepare the magic circle in advance and use it at any time. This is the manifestation of the materialization of Qi machine.
Moreover, the distinctive feature of cultivating to the eighth level is that Onmyoji can learn puppetry, which is one of the most important uses of Qi materialization.
Tao Huayuan was explaining the eighth-level skills to Xu Zhiqiong when she suddenly received a message from the Onmyoji.
"You thief boy, the Tsing Yi Battalion has won the battle, but the Suppression Army is in a bad situation. Coach Liang Xianchun's Canglong Battalion has almost been wiped out, and Zuo Chuxian is also in trouble."
Xu Zhiqiong sighed softly: "What a pity, Canglong Cultivator."
Tao Huayuan said: "There are still a few survivors in Canglong Camp. If you want to save them, I can help."
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head: "You can't save them. Liang Xianchun has firmly fallen into the trap. Anyone who wants to save her will be dragged in by her."
Tao Huayuan smiled: "I know you hate this person, but if you let her die like this, I'm afraid the evil-suppressing army will have to disperse."
Liang Xianchun was the commander-in-chief of the Suppressing Evil Army appointed by Emperor Zhaoxing. Without her, the status of the Suppressing Evil Army would become a problem.
Xu Zhiqiong slowly moved his arms, and his body recovered a little: "I don't want her to die. Maybe I am not the one who saves her. I have found someone. I don't know when he will come."
Tao Huayuan asked in surprise: "Who can save her?"
"A person who can break the trap."
"Are you talking about Master?"
Xu Zhiqiong sneered and said: "Don't say it's her. Even if I plunge into the trap myself, your master will not care about me. Taibu hates fools, how can he save Liang Xianchun?"
With his arms a little more flexible, Xu Zhiqiong continued to exercise his joints on the fat peach. Tao Huayuan pinched Xu Zhiqiong's nose: "As long as you can move, you have to find some sweetness. If you talk about mind, I can't even match your neck. If it's ridiculous, Arise, you are like a wild beast in its season!”
"Scold me?" Xu Zhiqiong twisted his fingers.
"Be gentle!" Tao Huayuan cried out in pain, "I'm going to die."
…
"Be gentle!" Liang Xianchun screamed in pain, and Zuo Chuxian pulled out a barbed arrowhead from her back.
Zuo Chuxian looked at the arrowhead and sighed: "The workmanship is so good, Nufu Army must have received a lot of funding from the government."
"Do you still have the mind to deal with this?" Liang Xianchun said angrily, "I'm going to die here!"
Zuo Chuxian was furious: "Do you think I have the care to care about this? Do you think I have the care to care about you? Dozens of students, who spent their prime years, are ruined here because of you, a fool!"
Zuo Chuxian led a group of Confucian scholars and fought a bloody battle with Nufu's army. They managed to break through and left Leidapo with Liang Xianchun.
But Yang Jinghuan pursued them relentlessly and trapped Zuo Chuxian and Liang Xianchun in a cave halfway up the mountain.
Of the one hundred Confucian scholars, there are still more than forty left. Zuo Chuxian was so painful that he had his heart broken and his liver cut open.
But so what if it hurts? Dead Confucian scholars will not be resurrected, and living Confucian scholars are not far from death.
Yang Jinghuan issued an ultimatum outside the cave. If Zuo Chuxian surrendered within half an hour, he and Haoran Camp would be left with a way to survive. If they did not comply, they would be killed after half an hour.
Such lies can also deceive Liang Xianchun. What kind of IQ is Zuo Chuxian? How could he be fooled?
Why did the Nufu Army accept Zuo Chuxian's surrender?
What benefit does it bring to them to capture Zuo Chuxian and others?
To torture out some secrets?
What secrets does Zuo Chuxian have? What secrets does Haoran Camp have?
The entire evil-suppressing army has no secrets.
To scare the court?
Using heads to intimidate people is more effective than using prisoners to intimidate people.
Yang Jinghuan would not accept Zuo Chuxian's surrender at all. He just wanted to shake Zuo Chuxian's determination to break out.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Chuxian was not fooled, but Liang Xianchun was. She shouted outside the cave: "If we sincerely surrender, will you really not break your promise?"
Yang Jinghuan shouted outside the cave: "A gentleman's word is as fast as his horse's whip! I will never break my promise!"
Liang Xianchun looked back at Zuo Chuxian. She felt that Yang Jinghuan was quite sincere.
Zuo Chuxian ignored Liang Xianchun, who was discussing his future affairs with his disciples: "I am a foolish teacher, so I asked you to follow me on an expedition, but you ruined your good years here.
Tonight I am my master and I will risk my life to lead you and others to break out of the encirclement. There will definitely be survivors among you and others. At that time, I must agree to one thing for my master.
No matter whether I leave my body behind or not, and help build a tomb for my teacher, it doesn’t matter whether there is a memorial sweep in the future. I only ask for one thing, please bury me far away from Liang Xianchun, and don’t let me see this fool again.
!”
Yang Jinghuan was also thinking about countermeasures. This cave was inaccessible and no one in the army had ever been there before. He didn't know the structure and depth. If he rushed to attack it rashly, he was afraid he would suffer a loss.
If we don't attack by force, we will have to waste our time here. If we continue to waste our time like this, reinforcements from Liang Yuyao and Lin Tianzheng may arrive at any time.
How about they come as expected?
In fact, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Yang Jinghuan. He is sure that he will catch Lin Tianzheng and Liang Yuyao at the same time. If Liang Yuyao arrives first, he is even sure that he will eat Liang Yuyao's red camp.
In one battle, Canglong Camp, Haoran Camp and Hongyi Camp were destroyed. This victory was enough to turn the tide of the war. This military achievement was enough for Yang Jinghuan to be promoted to the general altar, on an equal footing with Xiao Songting.
But what if the one who comes first is not the Red Clothes Camp but the Wu Che Camp?
Lin Tianzheng is not as easy to deal with as Liang Yuyao. He is too desperate in fighting. The advantages you can take from him are limited, but you should not suffer a loss.
But what should we do if it is Xu Zhiqiong calling?
Xu Zhiqiong is far away in Ziquan Pavilion. Even if he defeats Zhu Zhenyang and uses the Yin and Yang magic circle to lead troops to rush for reinforcements, he will still be at the end of his battle.
Moreover, the number of troops that the Yin-Yang Array can bring is limited after all, only thirty or fifty people at most. By then, he will be killed as well, and the evil-suppressing army will only be one step away from being completely defeated.
After considering all the consequences, Yang Jinghuan decided to send additional patrols and wait patiently.
Using Liang Xianchun and Zuo Chuxian as bait, no matter who comes, kill more of his troops!
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed and no one came for reinforcements.
Could it be that the evil-suppressing army doesn't care about the life or death of its commander?
Zuo Chuxian led the Confucian scholars to gather at the entrance of the cave, seemingly trying to break out of the encirclement.
No matter what, if we give it a try tonight and annihilate Canglong Camp and Haoran Camp, it can be considered a great military achievement.
Yang Jinghuan ordered to form a formation to meet the enemy, but suddenly he heard a patrol report: "An old man is approaching our army and has killed more than ten sentries."
"An old man? Alone?" Yang Jinghuan looked puzzled.
Before the sentry could answer, a wave of majesty descended from the sky.
Domineering cultivator! What a powerful spirit!
Yang Jinghuan used the Taotie seventh-level skill to absorb, swallowing the opponent's released energy and converting it into his own power.
The violent energy instantly filled Yang Jinghuan's meridians, but the oppressive momentum did not weaken.
Yang Jinghuan did not dare to swallow any more, as his meridians could not withstand the impact of Qi.
The remaining Taotie cultivators were not sufficiently cultivated and had no time to swallow the Qi machine. They were already under pressure and were forced to lower their heads.
What a profound cultivation!
Yang Jinghuan realized that something was wrong and quickly ordered a retreat. As soon as the military order was issued, several sergeants around him had their limbs broken and were unable to stand up.
Pan python!
Yang Jinghuan separated one hundred soldiers and broke them off where they were, and fled with the rest of the soldiers.
In the cave, Liang Xianchun could see clearly and shouted: "The ancestors are here!"
Liang Jixiong is here.
Three days ago, the Nufu Army counterattacked for the first time. Xu Zhiqiong realized that the situation was not good and quickly sent a message to Liang Jixiong. Liang Jixiong took three days to fly from the north to Huazhou, but it was a pity that he arrived too late!
Zuo Chuxian led the Confucian scholars to rush out of the cave, and under Liang Jixiong's power, they quickly killed all the one hundred enemy troops responsible for breaking up the rear.
Liang Jixiong was still waiting to pursue, but Zuo Chuxian advised: "Elder Shengwei, it's not appropriate to fight again tonight. It's hard to say how many enemy ambush there are."
Liang Jixiong looked gloomy, turned to look at Liang Xianchun and said: "How many people are left in the Canglong Guard?"
Liang Xianchun replied in a low voice: "There are sixteen people left."
"Sixteen people!" Liang Jixiong gritted his teeth and glared at Liang Xianchun and said, "Go back to camp immediately!"
Back at the camp, Liang Yuyao was leading the army to defend the camp. When she saw Liang Jixiong coming, she came forward with a face of surprise: "Old ancestor, why are you here? You are not in the north..."
Liang Jixiong's face was full of anger, and Liang Yuyao was so frightened that she did not dare to say anything. When they arrived at the Chinese army tent, Liang Jixiong asked Liang Xianchun: "What is the reason for tonight's disastrous defeat? Tell me everything!"
Liang Xianchun did not forget to defend himself: "It's not like I lost..."
Liang Jixiong hammered the writing desk: "I asked you why!"
Liang Xianchun pursed his lips and told the story of the war from beginning to end.
She tried her best to downplay the story of how she easily dispatched troops and was ambushed, emphasizing that there were Taotie cultivators among the enemy troops, who caught her off guard.
Liang Jixiong did not investigate the timing of sending troops. He focused on one thing: Liang Xianchun had nothing to do with the Taotie cultivators.
"There are many killers in the evil-suppressing army. Killers are not afraid of greed. How could you not be able to deal with them?"
Liang Xianchun replied confidently: "There are all domineering cultivators in Canglong camp, but they are restrained by greed."
"Nonsense!" Liang Jixiong roared, "The five battalions of the evil-suppressing army, domineering, murderous, Confucian and Taoist, take care of each other and make up for each other. Why did you lead the Canglong Guard alone to fight? If each battalion fights independently, they still form an army.
What to do?"
Liang Xianchun was speechless, and Zuo Chuxian said: "What Elder Shengwei said is absolutely true. The reason why half of our Haoran camp survived is because of the change from Hongyi camp and Wuche camp after listening to Xu Qianhu's words."
Thirty Tao-killing cultivators came, and these thirty Tao-killing cultivators made great achievements in this battle!"
"Exchange?" Liang Jixiong was stunned, "Each battalion supports each other. It is your duty, so why do you need to exchange sergeants?"
Liang Yuyao said: "Xu Zhiqiong said the same thing. He asked the entire army to gather in one place to fight, but the general did not listen to him."
Zuo Chuxian sighed: "Throughout the battle, Xu Qianhu often came up with good strategies, but the general never listened to a word of his words, and I don't know what the grudge is between the general and Xu Qianhu."
Liang Jixiong looked at Liang Xianchun and said, "Before setting off for the expedition, I repeatedly told you to listen to Zhiqiong's words in all wars. How did you promise me in the first place?"
After all, Liang Xianchun was a proud and arrogant person. When Liang Jixiong reprimanded him like this, he couldn't bear it: "Old ancestor, even if I lose this battle, what can I say about my previous victories?"
Zuo Chuxian said: "General, we just captured some Nufu heretics before. They can't be considered soldiers, and we can't say we won the battle."
Liang Xianchun was even more angry. He didn't expect Zuo Chuxian to also target him: "In Yu'an County, capturing the fourth-grade blood villain Gao Renxiao alive is not considered a victory?"
Zuo Chuxian laughed when he heard this and said: "If Xu Qianhu hadn't gone to Heshun Village to investigate, the general would have almost accidentally killed Liangshan, but he would have killed the Suzaku cultivators together with Gao Renxiao!"
Liang Yuyao said from the side: "I can testify to this. If Xu Zhiqiong and I went to Heshun Village together, if he hadn't seen through Gao Renxiao's tactics, this battle would have definitely triggered a civil uprising."
Liang Xianchun's eyes were blood red.
Unexpectedly, Liang Yuyao also came to criticize me!
"Okay! It's all my fault!" Liang Xianchun gritted his teeth and said, "I'm just a person who doesn't know how to fight. Even the Suppressing Evil Army doesn't know how to fight. All the credit goes to Xu Zhiqiong!
How can he, a mere lantern-carrying man, know how to fight? And he has killed a few people in the lantern-carrying office, does that mean he knows how to fight?"
Liang Jixiong shouted: "How much blood has he seen in the north? He used a thousand sergeants to hold back tens of thousands of Tunu's troops! Do you still have the nerve to despise him? If he hadn't come from a humble background, who would have gotten you to be the commander in chief!
"
Liang Xianchun was extremely angry and quarreled with Liang Jixiong: "In the war in the north, more than 100,000 people were often killed with flesh and blood. I only killed 100 people tonight. Why do our ancestors blame me so much?"
Hearing this, Liang Jixiong was furious: "More than 100,000 people are fighting, and they are all ordinary sergeants. What are you leading? Ordinary troops? You are leading one of thousands of outstanding people, and now the foundation of the entire Canglong Guard has been interrupted by you!"
If it weren't for the golden ax given to you by the emperor, I would have killed you tonight! Just retreat and wait for your fate!"
After scolding Liang Xianchun away, Liang Jixiong said to Liang Yuyao: "Go and call Zhiqiong...invite me, and for my sake, don't argue with Xianchun, and don't miss important events because of temporary anger."
…
Yang Jinghuan rushed all the way back to Yuling City and reported the battle situation to Sui Zhi.
After hearing Yang Jinghuan describe the old man, Sui Zhi immediately knew his identity: "Elder Shengwei is here, but it's a pity that he came late."
Canglong Camp was basically destroyed, Haoran Camp was half destroyed, and Yang Jinghuan only lost more than a hundred sergeants, which was naturally a great achievement.
But Zhu Zhenyang never came back, which made Sui Zhi quite worried.
At dawn the next day, a Taotie cultivator carried Zhu Zhenyang's body back to Zhoutan, crying about the battle last night in front of Sui Zhi.
He was the only survivor of the battle.
Yang Jinghuan said nothing. He felt sorry for Zhu Zhenyang and felt lucky that he did not exchange rivals with Zhu Zhenyang.
Xu Zhiqiong is an evil man. I must not touch him easily from now on.
Sui Zhi frowned, finding this unbelievable.
Fifty Taotie cultivators were injured by pure Yin energy at the same time. Xu Zhiqiong must have called the Yin and Yang Division to assist in the battle.
But how many high-quality cultivators can the Yin-Yang Division mobilize to injure fifty greedy Dao cultivators with pure Yin energy at the same time?
These fifty greedy cultivators all have seventh-level cultivation!
After examining Zhu Zhenyang's body, Sui Zhi found it even more incredible.
"It's a matter of fact, he died in the hands of eunuchs..." Sui Zhi was stunned for a long time, "How could there be eunuchs in Xu Zhiqiong's army?"
Yang Jinghuan said: "My subordinates are worried that the eunuch is not from Xu Zhiqiong's army."
"Emperor?" Sui Zhi was stunned, "He actually sent eunuchs to deal with me? Forget it, I ordered the followers to search for eunuchs in Yuling City from today on!"
