Practicing from the Taoist

Chapter 232 The Ninth Day

Xu Jin stood on the top of a city in Jingguo, with one foot on a fallen city wall brick, her arm leaning on her thigh, her body slightly tilted, and she was watching with a map in her hand.

Around him, the traces of the war had not yet been cleaned up. There were fallen corpses and destroyed buildings everywhere. Han Huang, Wang An and others were arranging some surrendered Jingguo soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

"In less than two thousand miles, we will be able to reach Jingguo's capital!" Looking at the map in his hand, Xu Jin raised her head, thinking so in her heart.

This was the eighth day after he met Si Bu, he attacked Jingguo. During these eight days, Xu Jin attacked the city all the way, and already broke through dozens of cities in Jingguo.

This speed exceeded Xu Jin's plan. He never thought that he would be able to break through dozens of cities in Jingguo in less than ten days. What he didn't expect was that Jingguo seemed to adjust its strategy , voluntarily gave up some relatively weak cities, which caused Xu Jin to occupy half of them easily without using any strength. Of course, he also failed to gain much from these cities. booty.

As for the Jingguo masters who gathered before, Xu Jin has seen some of them in the past few days, but those people only had a face-to-face meeting with him, and there was no fierce battle.

Putting away the map in her hand, Xu Jin walked towards Han Huang who was beside him, and after coming to his side, she opened her mouth and said to Han Huang.

"Today we will rest here and move forward tomorrow. The next city is Gangong of Jingguo. This is a big city of Jingguo. I am afraid that the defense force will not be weak. It will not be so easy to take down. Today is not enough time!"

Hearing Xu Jin's words, Han Huang nodded, then turned his head to look at the city, and said with a smile on his face.

"I was just about to talk to Bingzhu Xu about this. When we took down the city this time, the rich and powerful households in the city didn't have time to take away the precious things, so we should be able to find more things this time. It will take some time. Tidying up, it's really great to be able to stay for another night!"

In the past few days, although Xu Jin and others obtained relatively little loot most of the time because Jing Guo gave up some cities, or some cities resisted fiercely, but after these few days, they still accumulated a lot. less stuff.

With these things accumulated now, Han Huang is confident that he can help Xu Jin train thousands of Dao soldiers, which will make Gujiu's development in all aspects a big step forward. At the same time, Han Huang gradually likes this A feeling of reaping spoils.

"Then please trouble Senior Han. I'll restore my mana first. If anything happens, Senior Han will call me anytime!"

Hearing Han Huang's words, Xu Jin smiled and said, after speaking, Xu Jin floated up and entered the city directly.

He found a mansion of a local wealthy family in the city, and Xu Jin recovered the mana he had consumed in it. It didn't take too long for the mana in Xu Jin's body to recover.

Right now, Xu Jin's cultivation has reached the peak of Duyou Realm, and if he takes another step forward, he will hit the Jiming Realm, but it will take a certain amount of time to hit the Jiming Realm, and Xu Jin's current environment is not suitable , so in the past few days, he can only practice some other aspects of practice.

Xu Jin took out the jade card that Si Bu gave him before, and carefully felt the magic meaning in it. Although this jade card is not a treasure of the gods, the magic power contained in it , but it also helped Xu Jin's practice to a certain extent.

The strength of the dharma contained in the jade card is not particularly strong among the dharma intentions that Xu Jin has come into contact with, but the sense of unpredictability in the dharma makes Xu Jin feel It is very fresh, and I have some more ideas about the use of my own artistic conception.

By comprehending the meaning of the law in the jade card, Xu Jin has become more confident in breaking through the realm of Jiming. Before he entered Jingguo, he had received guidance from Han Huang and Qi Yang in this regard , I also personally watched the scene when Tian Yu broke through, and I have a certain understanding of this process, and now I don’t think there is any problem, I can only go back to Gujiu, and then I can start preparing to break through the Jiming realm.

After comprehending the meaning of the jade card in her hand for a while, Xu Jin took it back and turned her head to look outside. At this time, it was already dark, Xu Jin got up and walked out of the room, then her body slowly floated up and flew towards the At the head of the city.

When Xu Jin came to the top of the city again, the traces of the previous battle had been cleaned up, even the broken city wall had not been repaired, and they would not do such things as repairing the city wall. Anyway, they would leave tomorrow, and the place will still be there after that. It is the city of Jingguo.

"Master of War!"

Seeing Xu Jin's arrival, Wang An and others guarding the city wall immediately saluted Xu Jin,
"I'll take a look casually, you guys continue to be vigilant!"

Xu Jin nodded to everyone and said, after speaking, Xu Jin walked slowly along the city wall.

At this moment, in Xu Jin's heart, there was an inexplicable throbbing, and it was because of this throbbing that Xu Jin came to the city at night.

And turning around along the city wall, Xu Jin didn't find any problems wherever his eyes went, and he didn't feel any danger approaching, but the throbbing in his heart still existed.

Thinking about the passing of tonight, it was already the ninth day after he promised Si Bu that he would continue to attack Jingguo. According to the agreement, if after the tenth day, the King of Jingguo, Mu Ling, has not appeared, then he can leave Jingguo up.

"Could it be that Mu Ling, the lord of Jingguo, is here, so I feel it!"

Xu Jin thought to herself, and as soon as this thought appeared, Xu Jin felt that she might be right.

Those Jingguo masters gathered before have not elected a leader for so many days. Logically speaking, even if no leader can be selected for so many days, those people should not sit back and watch themselves attack the city. Only a few of them and They hadn't really fought against themselves yet. If they were waiting for Mu Ling, then this matter would make sense.

Wanting to understand this point, apart from the slight throbbing in Xu Jin's heart, there was also a trace of fighting spirit at the same time. In his mind, he recalled the scene when Mu Ling beheaded Chen Shou back then. Xu Jin didn't know how he was now. , relying on the strength of the Taoist soldiers under his command, whether he really has the qualifications to fight against the opponent, but he is looking forward to it, Xu Jin really wants to try, how strong can a master who has reached the level of Nirvana be strong? .

"Mu Ling, I hope you are really here!"

Xu Jin thought silently in his heart, and then he stood quietly on the top of the wall until dawn.

Just after dawn, Han Huang appeared in front of Xu Jin. He looked at Xu Jin standing on the top of the wall, stepped forward to salute Xu Jin, and then spoke hesitantly.

"Xu Bingzhu, I have packed the things in the city that are helpful for cultivation. We can leave now. However, from just now, I suddenly feel a little restless. It seems that something is about to happen. Can we not continue to go today? forward?"

Hearing Han Huang's words, Xu Jin looked into his eyes, and then spoke.

"To be honest, Senior Han, since last night, I've also felt an inexplicable throbbing in my heart. I'm afraid that something is going to happen, but now is not the time for us to retreat!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Jin raised her hand and took out the jade tablet, rubbed it lightly with her hand, and seeing Xu Jin's movements, Han Huang knew that it was useless to talk about this matter, and he did not show any dissatisfaction. Yue's mood, on the contrary, said to Xu Jin in a somewhat comforting tone.

"It's nothing like that. Now I have a ground boat. At critical moments, with the power of the ground boat, if we want to leave, it will be difficult for anyone to keep us. At least there should be no problem in terms of safety!"

"Senior Lao Han is here!"

Hearing what Han Huang said, Xu Jin smiled again and said.

After the exchange between the two, the team quickly set off and continued towards the interior of Jingguo. However, compared with before, everyone moved a little slower this time.

Walking all the way forward, Xu Jin gradually felt the throbbing in her heart become more and more intense, and Han Huang also felt it, and her expression gradually became more and more dignified.

In this way, everyone walked for about a hundred miles. After turning over a mountain, Xu Jin stopped suddenly, because not far ahead, there was actually a Jingguo army blocking the middle of the road.

The number of this Jingguo army is not large, only about a thousand in total, but when Xu Jin saw these people, his face immediately became serious, and Han Huang beside him even made a move. He had an expression as if he was facing a great enemy, because standing in front of this Jingguo Daoist army stood a figure, it was Mu Ling, the lord of Jingguo.

The other party stood there, and his figure naturally attracted the attention of everyone around him. Although the aura on the other party's body did not let go, Xu Jin felt a sense of oppression the moment he saw the other party.

This sense of oppression is like a herbivore meeting a ferocious carnivorous hunter. The two sides are completely two species, and there is an insurmountable huge gap.

"Sure enough!"

Xu Jin took a deep breath at this moment, and the throbbing in her heart calmed down at this moment, while the previous trace of fighting spirit became more and more intense at this moment.

He stepped forward again, approaching Mu Ling and the others unswervingly, and noticing his movements, Mu Ling finally looked at Xu Jin squarely.

The two looked at each other. At this moment, Xu Jin felt as if she was facing a raging river. She was like a small stone, facing the impact of a big river, there was no room for resistance at all. .

However, Xu Jin was not frightened by this feeling. He continued to walk forward unswervingly, because at this moment Xu Jin knew very well in his heart that by relying on the Taoist soldiers under his command, he and Mu Ling would fight together. The gap between them will definitely not be particularly large.

Seeing Xu Jin step by step, a look of appreciation flashed across Mu Ling's cold eyes. After Xu Jin stood still about a mile away, Mu Ling spoke first.

"Xu Jin, the leader of the blood owl Taoist soldiers, I have seen you more than once, but the few times I met you, you were not taken seriously by the widow, but now, the widow has to look at you, even Chen Shou When he was alive, he never thought of attacking Jingguo, and smashing dozens of cities in Jingguo, but you, who came from a Taoist background and have a low level of cultivation, have achieved things that he dared not even dream of!"

"Thank you for the compliment!"

When Xu Jin heard Mu Ling's words, she responded flatly.

"The widow looks at you highly, but you shouldn't accept the benefits of Dasheng and come to attack our Jingguo. Your life will be taken today by the widow. With your ability, you will have something to do sooner or later, but it's a pity that it's here now." That's it!"

Seeing that Xu Jin responded so flatly, Mu Ling's tone became even colder. At the same time as his words fell, Mu Ling's aura gradually released, and a strong sense of oppression fell on Xu Jin immediately.

At this moment, Xu Jin felt that there seemed to be some changes in the rules of the sky and the earth around him. The invisible sense of oppression came from everywhere in the void, making it difficult for him to resist.

Xu Jin's own killing mood broke out at this moment, and through her own killing mood, Xu Jin resisted this invisible sense of oppression.

Sensing the killing mood erupting from Xu Jin's body, Mu Ling raised his left hand slowly, and a huge palm formed by water flow appeared in the void with his movements. Then, Mu Ling waved his hand down and pressed it down. A huge palm immediately fell from the air, and suddenly slapped Xu Jin and the others.

At this moment, Xu Jin quickly pulled out the short wind tearing knife behind his back, and the magic power in his body circulated rapidly, and the square formation was also activated in an instant. Huge palm.

The bloody sword glow collided with the huge palm, and the sword glow easily passed through the huge palm. However, after the huge palm was pierced by the sword glow, it still shot towards Xu Jin and the others, and its strength did not seem to weaken. too much.

Seeing this scene, Xu Jin raised the dagger in his hand upwards, and the blood-colored light enveloped him and a group of Taoist soldiers under his command. The next moment, a huge palm formed by the water flow fell on the blood-colored light. With just one blow, Xu Jin The bloody light on Jin and the others shook violently.

Xu Jin only felt as if a mountain had fallen from the top of his head. He could hardly bear that kind of huge force. If the strength of this blow was stronger, then under this blow, Xu Jin would not be able to bear it. You have to be injured, and this is just an understatement by Mu Ling.

After this blow, Mu Ling slowly withdrew his palm, looked at Xu Jin and the others who were shrouded in bloody light, and spoke again.

"Xu Jin, the widow came here today to take your life. This blow is to remind you. Next, the widow is going to be serious. If you still have the same strength in the next blow, then you should go on the road! "
