Qi Yuan calculated in his mind that although the four generals of the Demon Family were currently very powerful, they would definitely not last long.
After all, although their magic weapons are powerful, their opponents are not what they appear to be.
Whether it is Xiqi's army or people like Nezha and Yang Jian, they are just a cover to be pushed out to block the front.
In fact, the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao behind them are just the main thugs. The ones who really control the game behind the scenes are Yuanshi Tianzun and several other big guys.
With the strength of the four generals of the Demon Family, they certainly could not fall into the eyes of Yuanshi Tianzun. Even Guang Chengzi and the other Twelve Golden Immortals, no one made a special trip down the mountain for them.
As long as you target their weaknesses, it is not too difficult to take down the four brothers.
In the next few days, several young people on the Xiqi side were not convinced and challenged the four generals of the Mo family several times. Instead of taking advantage, Huang Tianhua was seriously injured and was about to die.
If his master Qingxu Daode Zhenjun hadn't sent a sitting boy to take Huang Tianhua back to Ziyang Cave in Qingfeng Mountain for treatment, I'm afraid he would have been on the list of gods early.
Knowing the predicament Xiqi was facing, Lord Qingxu Daodezhen directly gave Huang Tianhua the magic weapon Accumulated Heart Nail, asking him to use this magic weapon to deal with the four generals of the Demon family.
With the treasure given by his master, Huang Tianhua was full of confidence. After returning, he reported to Jiang Ziya and went directly to the two armies to call for formation.
During this period, the four generals of the Demon Family were troubled by the fact that Xiqi had taken the exemption card and refused to go out of the city to fight.
The walls of Xiqi City are tall and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even the food and grass that were originally lacking due to the siege by the merchant army were sent by Dao Xing Tianzun of Jinting Mountain's Yuwu Cave, two disciples, Han Dulong and Xue Eihu, using Xianjia magic.
enough food to fill the granary, which stabilized the people in the city.
Nowadays, it is rare for anyone to challenge me, so of course they are willing to fight.
As a result, Huang Tianhua took the lead and used the Heart Nail to sneak attack.
This object is an extremely rare treasure, only seven inches and a half long. Once it is released, it is extremely fast. By the time the human eye catches the light emitted from the heart-saving nail, everyone has already been hit.
This magic weapon is so fast that it is difficult for people to guard against it, and it will hurt people's hearts after it is used.
In addition, Yang Jian was secretly causing trouble. Not only did he steal Mo Li's red Hunyuan Umbrella, but after killing Mo Li Shou's flower fox marten, he cunningly transformed himself into the shape of a flower fox marten.
Return to Moli Shou to steal information.
At the critical moment, he attacked Mo Lishou secretly and bit off one of his arms like a fox-sable. Huang Tianhua seized the opportunity and stabbed the four generals of the Mo family to death one after another with the Heart Nail.
Although the magic weapons of the four generals of the Demon Family are extremely powerful, they are all large-scale attack types and require some time to activate with magic power.
Magical weapons such as the Heart Nail, which are specially used for sneak attacks and assassinations, are definitely a different type of magic weapon. They can even be called hidden weapon-type magic weapons.
Huang Tianhua proudly cut off the heads of the four generals of the Demon family, and together with Yang Jian, took them back to Jiang Ziya to ask for credit.
Jiang Ziya was immediately overjoyed, praised the two men's performance, and then ordered the heads of the four generals of the Demon family to be hung on the city gate to intimidate the merchant army.
This old man was also forced hard by the four generals of the Demon family. Ever since he became the prime minister in Xiqi, he has never suffered such a big loss.
It doesn't matter how many of Ji Chang's sons died in the battle. Anyway, he had many sons. There were hundreds of biological and adopted sons in total. It didn't matter if he had a few less.
But too many soldiers in the army were killed or injured.
Although Xiqi nominally commands the two hundred western princes, those two hundred princes have their own agendas after all.
It is impossible for them to spend all their wealth to support Ji Fa's rebellion. If the losses are too heavy, they will definitely not support Ji Fa again.
Moreover, there were too many casualties among the soldiers, and it would be difficult to recruit soldiers and horses from the civilian population.
If there are no soldiers at the bottom, how can we fight this battle?
They couldn't let Guangchengzi and others personally lead their disciples to attack the city and plunder the territory when they explained their teachings, right?
That's why Jiang Ziya hated the four generals of the Demon Family so deeply that he would not let them go even after they died. Instead, they hung their heads high so that their bodies would not be intact after they died.
Let's talk about the merchant camp. After the four generals of the Mo family were beaten to death by Huang Tianhua with a heart-saving nail, the entire merchant camp was completely in chaos.
The general was dead and there was no one in charge. The middle-level generals also knew that they would not be able to defeat Xiqi's side with their own abilities, so they had no choice but to snatch the headless corpses of the four generals of the Mo family and plan to return to Chaoge.
Qi Yuan, who had been watching the battle in secret, sighed helplessly when he saw the miserable situation of the four brothers of the Demon family.
In his opinion, the strength of the four generals of the Demon Family was not weak, but part of the reason why they died so miserably was because their methods were restrained by extremely fast magic weapons such as Chuanxin Nail.
This incident also reminded Qi Yuan that he needs to leave some back-ups for himself as trump cards in the future.
Otherwise, once someone finds out the details, they will be able to find a way to restrain it.
Seeing that the battle was over and the Yin and Shang army was packing their bags and planning to break camp and go back, a not-so-good idea suddenly popped up in Qi Yuan's mind.
He rolled his eyes and ordered Yihe Ling'er and the two of them: "You two go back first, I have some things to do."
Both of them were good-natured and didn't ask him what he wanted to do. They agreed and left obediently.
Qi Yuan stayed outside the merchant camp and slowly waited until dark.
In the military camp, the morale of the merchant army was low. Except for necessary sentries, there were very few patrol soldiers.
Qi Yuan nodded with satisfaction and carefully sneaked into the merchant camp.
It's already dark now, and many patrol teams are too lazy to go out patrolling at night because they don't have the control of their commanders.
Even if there were people outside, they were discovered by Qi Yuan in advance and avoided in advance. In this way, he reached all the way outside the Chinese army's tent.
The lights were brightly lit in the big tent, and the sounds of quarrels could be heard from time to time.
Qi Yuan listened quietly for a while, and it turned out that a group of lieutenants were arguing about where to go in the future.
He was not interested in this at all, so he ignored it, turned around to the big tent, and searched in several nearby tents. He soon found the tent where the four generals of the Demon Family were housed.
There were two guards with halberds standing in front of the tent, obviously guarding the place.
Qi Yuan stretched out his hand to pinch the magic formula and pointed at them. Two groups of magic power turned into invisible leaves, blocking the eyes of the two guards.
Then Qi Yuan openly opened the tent curtain and walked in.
The two guards vaguely felt that something was wrong. They looked around but found nothing. One of them saw the tent curtain shaking and opened it to look inside.
Seeing that there was nothing else but four corpses, he suppressed his doubts and continued to guard outside.
In fact, Qi Yuan had been standing in the tent the whole time, but he used a blinding spell to cover the eyes of the two guards, so they couldn't see him.
This spell has many limitations and can only be regarded as a low-level deception method. Once it is in a crowded place, it will have no effect, so he stayed up until after dark before coming in.
He looked at the four headless corpses placed on the ground, muttering to himself that he was offended, but he honestly stretched out his hand and groped at the corpses without any sense of guilt.
Hmm, jade pendant, it’s useless, this is a necklace, let me go, my head is gone, but the necklace can still hang on my neck?
After groping for a long time, he finally found what he wanted.
It was a jade slip with many small seal characters densely engraved on it.
Qi Yuan took a closer look and suddenly felt happy.
