Chapter 307 Switching from offense to defense, Shura robs the camp! [Third update]
Last time he wrote:
In the battle between the human race and the hundreds of tribes, the human race had a comprehensive advantage. Lord Anan ordered people to sacrifice hundreds of demon tribe villages, and used the blood of living creatures to communicate with the blood sea, attracting a large number of elites from the Shura tribe.
The power of the hundreds of tribes increased greatly, and the human race retreated early.
Ancestor Minghe came to trouble the Quasi-Celestial Emperor alone and had a friendly and polite communication, but was eventually frightened away by Master Xuandu and Tai Chi Tu.
Li Pingan's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and he closed his eyes just because of the cold murderous intention.
Gui Lingling's little hands were numb for a long time, and she kept muttering that those two swords were so powerful.
As for Ziyao...
The Archmage didn't know why he offended Queen Mother Xi. This clone of Queen Mother didn't even give him a good look. Wasn't it normal when they met at the Notre Dame Palace?
The Archmage said that he really didn't understand the thoughts of the powerful woman.
Li Ping'an asked: "Master, do you want to go to the Human Emperor?"
"No," the archmage said with a smile, "I came here just for the Styx. The teacher said that the Styx itself is not important, but gradually weakening the Styx and eventually killing it is very important to the world, and even the Xuandu City.
They are all temporarily closed, so I always seize opportunities."
Li Pingan nodded slowly.
He knew it deep down.
The sea of blood never dries up, the river Styx never dies;
Similarly, if the sea of blood is not damaged, it will be difficult to establish the six paths of reincarnation, and the underworld should also be there.
Li Ping'an added in his heart: 'Of course this is just a myth I know. This world is still quite chaotic. Who knows what will happen next.'
"Ping'an, your Tao realm has grown quite rapidly."
The Archmage took a simple cloud boat from his sleeve and invited Li Ping'an and three others to board the boat. They floated in the air not far from the main camp of the demon clan.
Although the Archmage said that he only came here for Ancestor Styx;
But this first-generation human race who is the only ‘original original paint’ in the world has always had a clear stance and has always stood on the side of the human race.
Taiqing Laozi didn't care much about this.
Inaction does not mean forced inaction.
"Uncle Grandmaster came at the right time," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "I have just realized a great path, which is related to all living beings. I would like to ask Uncle Grandmaster to give me some advice."
"The way of all beings?"
Master Xuandu suddenly became energetic and said seriously: "You can use it now, and I will gain some insights."
Li Ping'an couldn't miss such a good opportunity to get some advice, so he immediately closed his eyes and concentrated, with Taoist charm appearing around his body.
Grand Master Xuandu sensed it carefully, with wonder in his eyes, and casually used Tai Chi Diao Daoyun to protect this place to prevent other masters from prying into Li Ping'an's secret.
Gui Lingling held her big turtle shell and repaired the minor cracks on it.
She actually didn't say just now that the Yuan Tu Sword could break through her turtle shell;
At that time, Li Ping'an had already begun to curse, so she had to toughen up and not lose face to the master's nephew.
As for whether I can beat him or not...
Anyway, the master is here. In addition to her defensive skills, she also has good escape skills. She can drop her shell to save her life at critical moments.
Sudden.
Snapped!
There was a slight and crisp sound from the side. Gui Lingling turned her head and looked over, surprised:
"Zi Yao, why are you beating yourself?"
"No, it's okay."
A small smile appeared on Zi Yao's stunning face, and just now she just slapped herself in annoyance.
No matter how much people teach, they can never achieve tranquility and inaction.
'Huh, damn Archmage, you didn't come earlier, you didn't come late, you just took action now, don't you know how to look at the situation?'
Zi Yao puffed up the corners of her mouth, but felt that such an expression was too childish, and quickly restored her dignified and elegant posture.
…
Mainly run by human race.
Emperor Xuanyuan frowned and looked at the jade talisman in his hand. Seventeen or eight figures stood quietly in front of him, each bowing his head and saying nothing.
"The Shura clan is good at fighting and is indeed a formidable enemy."
Xuanyuan Huangdi threw the jade talisman aside and sighed:
"The spies we sent to explore the Blood Sea reported that there are still a group of Shura people waiting to surface.
"The Shura tribe needs blood as a guide to reach the surface of the earth and maintain their strength from being reduced by the law of heaven.
"Killing feeds killing, and fighting feeds fighting. If they go on rampage and make Xizhou a real river of blood, there will be a steady stream of Shura clan appearing in the future."
A warrior on the side said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, hasn't the senior Archmage already taken action?"
Fenghou said: "The Archmage has already taken the initiative to say that he is trying to block the River Styx and will not care about the conquests between living beings and tribes. This is also the consistent attitude of the Human Sect."
Several generals expressed their emotions:
"I didn't expect that the Taoist soldiers taught by the West are not difficult to deal with, but the Shura tribe is difficult to deal with."
"How did the Western Religion persuade the Shura people? What promise did it give to Patriarch Styx?"
"Although Patriarch Styx himself is strong, judging from his performance in ancient times, he is fierce in appearance and has no ambition. He created the Shura clan to imitate the Holy Mother in creating the human race. It was just a battle of wills, and in the end he did not gain much.
"
Fenghou said: "Your Majesty, it is better for us to delay for some time and use the large formation to hold on until the Shura tribe has to return to the Blood Sea, and then continue to move forward to attack the city and seize the territory."
Xuanyuan Huangdi asked: "Does Feng Qian know how long it will take for the Shura tribe to return to the underground? Even if they are forced to go back, will the Western Church massacre another group of creatures and open up a path for them to come to the surface?"
"this……"
Feng Hou said seriously:
"Your Majesty, if we continue to attack by force, we will only be satisfying the wishes of the Western Sect and Blood Sea.
“There are many ferocious creatures in the Blood Sea, and it’s not just the Shura clan that is such a hidden danger.
"We must come up with a comprehensive strategy. The creatures in the sea of blood intend to invade the world of the Lord of Desolation. Our Majesty the Emperor of Heaven may be able to resolve this matter."
Xuanyuan Huangdi sighed: "How to solve Ping'an? How many soldiers and horses does he have? He can borrow troops by himself, but today's IOU will have to be repaid in the future! Don't push the problem to young people, we old guys
How about we hit the wall together!"
All the generals nodded.
Feng Hou said: "Your Majesty, we only have two options now."
"Which two?"
"The first is to retreat for the time being," Feng Hou bowed his hand, "In this battle in Xizhou, all the elites of our human race have been used, which has severely damaged the vitality of the demon clan. The casualties of our soldiers are far less than those of the demon soldiers, and dozens of demon kings have been killed.
, weakened hundreds of demon kings."
A general on the side whispered: "But we have only eliminated less than 20% of those ancient giant monsters. They are very cunning. If we don't continue to fight, they can continue to live freely in the world."
Feng Hou added: "The second route may be more suitable for the current situation. We build a large city of thick formation from Xizhou, spend some time with the Western Sect and the Sea of Blood, and then look for opportunities to continue marching."
Xuanyuan Huangdi thought carefully.
He tapped the edge of the chair with his fingers, hesitation in his eyes.
The current situation is already the most favorable to the human race since ancient times.
On the one hand, due to the fate of Tongtian Cult Leader, the Western Cult was temporarily silenced;
On the other hand, this is actually the release of the ‘power of the Qi Refiner’ that Dongzhou has accumulated for tens of thousands of years.
Now, the war machine of the human race has been fully activated. After half a year of fighting, the resilience of the human race has become stronger and stronger. Immortal soldiers are constantly flowing in. Many sects from the East Continent have moved directly to the southern part of the West Continent, just to support the front line.
At this time, I was really unwilling to retreat just because the Shura tribe showed up.
But Xuanyuan Huangdi was always sober.
The problem now is that it is a bit difficult for the Hundred Tribes to join the Western Taoist soldiers. The tighter the Hundred Tribes are compressed, the more intense their resistance will be.
If the previous hundreds of tribes (monster tribes) were a piece of loose sand, they have now begun to become "Tu Ke La".
The number of Shura in the Blood Sea is unknown, but it will definitely not be less than a million combatants. Now only the elite are coming. As long as the war continues and the bloodshed continues, more and more Shura will climb up from the Blood Sea.
In order to conquer the surface, they are afraid that they will start endless killings.
Huangdi Xuanyuan always only wanted to avenge the heroic spirits of the human race, and did not want Xizhou to become a truly barren land.
Therefore, he actually preferred the second plan given by Feng Hou.
From the newly occupied land in Xizhou, cities were built and entrenched, gradually encroaching on it until the Shura clan could no longer participate in the war, or internal strife broke out between the hundreds of clans and the Shura clan.
A general said: "Once we start to build the city and defend it, we will fall into a relatively passive situation."
"Is Chi You's strength recovering? This still needs to be considered."
"Chiyou is nothing to worry about anymore," Xuanyuan Huangdi said. "He is no longer the military leader he was when he was reborn. Moreover, he seems to have lost his brain. Most of the time he relies on his instinct and intuition when fighting me."
Everyone nodded.
Chi You's strongest strength at that time was actually He Zong Lian Heng's lobbying ability.
Chi You now is just a pioneer general.
Everyone said again: "The Shura clan is really difficult to deal with."
"well!"
Xuanyuan Huangdi sighed:
"I was also too anxious. I thought before that the Yao Clan lost three important masters, and Ping An invited the leader of the Jiejiao Cult to help. This opportunity is once in a lifetime, and I can accomplish all my achievements in one battle.
"However, we gained a lot this time, weakening the demon clan's combat power, and also showing the benevolence and righteousness of our human clan to the remaining people of hundreds of clans.
"It is not appropriate to start a head-on battle with the Shura clan now, lest our elite troops be wasted in vain.
"Let's switch from attack to defense and continue to consume them.
"The Taoist soldiers of the Western religion should not be underestimated. The other side has obviously not yet made up for the shortcomings of these Taoist soldiers. If the Taoist soldiers can succeed in the end, it will be a serious problem for our human race."
Feng Hou said: "The place where the city is built also needs to be carefully considered."
"Let's discuss it together."
Xuanyuan Huangdi called out, and all the generals moved forward together and gathered in front of the sand table in Xizhou.
The new city was naturally built on the land seized by the human race.
This new city is like a nail. The closer it is to Lingshan, the more new land the human race will occupy.
There are also a series of issues such as how to arrange the living beings of hundreds of tribes, all of which need to be dealt with personally by the Emperor and discussed in detail with the ministers.
Compared to the hard-working Human Emperor, the Quasi-Celestial Emperor was much more relaxed.
Li Ping'an talks about scriptures and Taoism with the great master, goes boating and rides on the clouds, how can he be so cool and unrestrained?
…
The great master discussed Taoism with Li Ping'an for two days, and then left.
Instead of leaving, he hid and continued to stare at Ancestor Styx.
Later, as long as Ancestor Styx shows up, the Archmage and Tai Chi Tu will also show up and will not let Ancestor Styx accomplish anything.
As soon as the Archmage left, Li Ping'an took Zi Yao and Gui Lingling and retreated to the human camp, picked up Master Qing Su, recalled four personal guards, and rushed to the Human Emperor's tent.
The human emperor's tent is quite heavily guarded;
But as soon as Li Ping'an appeared, the soldiers just turned around and reported in a hurry, not daring to reach out to stop him.
Approaching the tent door, two female generals appeared and invited Gui Ling, Zi Yao, Qing Su and others who were accompanying them to camp in the tent for a meal. His Majesty the Human Emperor wanted to meet Li Ping'an alone.
Zi Yao took the initiative to hold Qing Su's arm and said softly: "Then let's go have something to eat first and let them discuss the major issues of heaven and earth by themselves."
Qing Su was somewhat uncomfortable with Zi Yao's sudden enthusiasm.
Qing Su said: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay," Fairy Ziyao said, "I just think you are a bit too cold on weekdays, and I just want to spend more time with you."
Qing Su tilted her head slightly, with confusion in her eyes.
The turtle Lingling on the side looked thoughtful.
‘Could Ziyao also want to follow Qingqing around to eat? Qingqing knows where many delicious things are hidden.’
Let's talk about Li Ping'an's arrival in front of Huangdi Xuanyuan unimpeded.
Li Ping'an sat down and said with lingering fear: "Ancestor Styx doesn't feel very smart, but he is unexpectedly fierce and actually beats him whenever he wants."
"Fortunately Tai Chi Tu came in time."
Xuanyuan Huangdi said with a smile:
"At that time, I was worried about you and Guiling, even though I knew Queen Mother of the West was right next to you.
"The Ancestor of Styx focuses on killing and is good at killing, but he has no other strengths. His personality is arrogant and arrogant, and he has offended many masters.
"When Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were not dead, Ancestor Minghe was hiding in the sea of blood and did not dare to show his face."
Li Ping'an sneered: "Then it's because I, the Quasi-Celestial Emperor, am too weak to suppress him."
"Hahaha," Huangdi Xuanyuan couldn't help laughing, "If you think so, I won't advise you. I'll just put some pressure on you to practice... Why do you come here to see me?"
"Ah, it's about the Shura clan."
Li Pingan said seriously:
"This general offensive has been carried out so far, and the effect has actually been very good. Now that the Shura clan is at an end, the Western Sect is also sending Taoist soldiers over in a steady stream.
"It is not appropriate to attack by force now. It is better to have temporary peace talks with the Western Sect. We will take over the land of Xizhou and further reduce the living space of the demon clan.
"Otherwise... I'm afraid that even if the human race wins, it will be a miserable victory."
Xuanyuan Huangdi nodded: "Have you also explored the blood sea?"
"The Great Master mentioned it when we were discussing Taoism."
Li Pingan explained:
"The Shura tribe has a characteristic, that is, the more people die on the battlefield, the stronger they become. For powerful masters, the Shura tribe is nothing more than that, but for immortal weapons and demon soldiers, the Shura tribe is very difficult to deal with.
"Before, I thought that the Shura Clan was just like the Wu Clan, only a few thousand came.
"Unexpectedly, they mobilized nearly a million Shuras. The first group to come are the most elite, with many heavenly immortals and true fairyland combat power. As long as they continue to fight and let the lives bleed, a steady stream of Shuras will appear.
"Since this battle has been won, it's better to switch from offense to defense and delay the Shura clan until they leave."
Xuanyuan Huangdi sighed: "We have all made up our minds here... Come and see, we will build three fortresses in this triangular area, and we will start construction first tonight. Ancestor Styx was scared away by the Tai Chi diagram, Shura
The clan should also need to rest now."
"No," Li Ping'an said in a deep voice, "I thought about it on the way here. The character of Patriarch Styx is not that good at planning. He probably won't listen to other people's suggestions. Maybe the Shura clan has started to prepare.
Take action."
As soon as he finished speaking, a messenger came from outside the tent to report.
"Your Majesty! There is something strange happening in the main camp of the demon clan! A large number of Blood Sea Shura have begun to gather! It seems that they are coming towards our camp!"
Li Ping'an took out the treasure mirror he made and attracted the power of heaven to reveal the main direction of the demon clan's operations.
A large number of Blood Sea Shura are gathering, in a loose formation but with murderous intent.
Xuanyuan Huangdi frowned and said: "Why are those ancient evil demons just watching the show? Aren't these the reinforcements they invited?"
"Maybe there was a quarrel."
Li Ping'an spread his hands:
"I have just started practicing the Way of Living Beings, otherwise I can listen to the voices of the living beings over there."
"Then junior brother, please make up your mind," Xuanyuan Huangdi said, "If they want to come to rob the camp, should we fight them? How will we fight them?"
"If we are going to build a fortress here next, the first priority is to defend this land."
Li Ping'an thought for a moment:
"We cannot escape from this battle. We must repel Shura without causing too many casualties... How about, senior brother, please ask Feng Hou to come over and make plans?"
"Isn't this a test for you?"
Xuanyuan Huangdi had already thrown out a jade talisman.
"I called them over to discuss countermeasures. Do you want to take action? My suggestion is that you just continue to watch the battle."
"I also want to do something."
Li Ping'an thought for a moment, looked at the magic weapon stored in his sleeve, took out a half-face armor and put it on.
"It's fine that you don't have to show up as the Quasi-Celestial Emperor."
Xuanyuan Huangdi laughed and scolded: "Your identity as the master of Tianfang Pavilion is not a secret."
"If others point it out, it's fine if I don't admit it," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "Senior brother, don't worry, I'm just trying out the power of my self-propelled immortal armor."
Xuanyuan Huangdi blinked, slightly confused.
The sound of horns sounded in the camp, which meant that the troops assembled by the Shura tribe were indeed heading towards the Human Emperor's base camp at the front of the human battle line, which was still quite far away at the moment.
Li Ping'an was just about to go find his master, uncle and several personal guards. Before leaving, he turned around and said:
"Senior brother, remember to help me find traces of Xing Tian."
Xuanyuan Huangdi directly agreed: "Okay, I'll let you know if I have any news. There are also many masters in the Shura clan, so be careful."
