I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 551: Performing a ritual on stage! Going through the netherworld and defying life and death!
The scene of the 10-foot-long lance flying across the sky attracted countless people's attention.

Looking at the figure of the Seventh Realm True Immortal who was nailed to death, the entire battlefield fell into a long period of dead silence.

When the destructive murderous intent that erupted from the flashing runes on the spear instantly wiped out all the life and even the soul of the Seventh Realm True Immortal, the fiery and fanatical light in the eyes of many Huang Tiandao soldiers suddenly dimmed by three points.

On the other hand, the morale of the Zhen Liao Army rose again as expected.

"Power! Power! Power!"

Amidst the roars that shook the universe, the more than 200 killing gods who had accomplished the feat of slaying the immortals behaved extremely calmly.

The dragon riders stepped into space, and the leading rider stretched out his hand.

The 10-foot-long horse lance that had just been thrown out, along with the corpse of the seventh-level true immortal, instantly returned to his hand.

Then, he carried the corpse of the True Immortal and glanced at the Huang Tian army below with a cold and arrogant look through the black mask.

He is inviting a fight!
Invite the True Immortal to fight!
Seeing such arrogance and domineering, the vast aura of the Huang Tian army below, which had been ready to go, immediately boiled with anger.

"Bastard! How dare you insult Huang Tian!"

At this moment, Li Jing's four generals in the four directions frowned, and the aura of true immortals on their bodies also began to spread.

If nothing unexpected happens, Huang Tianjun's side will take the first step at this time.

A shocking battle between immortals will break out in the sky above Yinping City in an instant.

Although in terms of the number of True Immortals, the Zhenliao Army is still far inferior to the Huangtian Army.

But Li Jing and others were not afraid at all, and even hoped that the other party would not be able to restrain himself and take action.

In this way, once they have eliminated all the high-end combat forces in the Huang Tian Army in one battle, the next battle will be easier to fight.

It’s a pity that they were disappointed in the end.

Faced with the almost humiliating show of force by the Xianzhen Camp, the vast and majestic aura in the Huangtian Army was only angry for a moment.

And seeing that the Seventh Realm True Immortals in the Huang Tian Army below had somehow turned into cowards, the group of Killing Gods in the Xianzhen Camp had no choice but to choose to quit while they were ahead. Leaving behind a sentence "you cowards", they transformed into black streaks again and disappeared into the central army.

However, although their ultimate goal was not truly achieved, the impact on the battle situation was still huge.

He killed a seventh-level true immortal on the spot and escaped successfully. The blow to the morale of Huang Tian’s army was devastating.

In addition, they just rushed into the formation and killed many powerful Huang Tianjun soldiers, which further shook the already unstable foundation of Huang Tianjun.

So as those ferocious Zhenliao cavalry launched another attack, the lines and formations that had been built with great difficulty at the cost of human lives quickly collapsed and retreated.

Some large formations were broken into pieces and retreated again and again.

Until they reached the Yinping city wall behind them, there was no place to retreat.

The battle had become like this, and even though most of the Huang Tian army was made up of Huang Tian believers who had no mercy on life and no regard for death, and were extremely fierce and valiant, at this moment their human instincts were awakened, and they felt endless despair.

"Great and Good Teacher——"

“The believers did their best!”

Yes, they tried!

Since the uprising began, whenever the Yellow Sky flag was waved and pointed forward, they would charge forward without hesitation even if there were mountains of swords and thousands of blades ahead.

The predecessors fell, they stepped on their corpses and then became their predecessors.

In the end, his ochre-yellow body completely drowned out everything in front of him and the sky above his head.

But this time they really couldn't get through!
Those Youzhou barbarians clad in black armor are like a huge reef lying between heaven and earth. No matter how vast the ocean or how fierce the waves are, they will only end up being smashed to pieces.

It is beyond human power!
The fearlessness and bravery that had made them invincible in the past, in this life-and-death battle, seemed to be more like stretching their heads out to meet the opponent's blade.

Death... Too many people died...

"Yes, a lot of people died..."

In the central army of Yinping City, Cheng Yuanyi lowered his eyes and expressed the same emotion.

After hearing this, the core leaders of the Qingzhou Huangtian Army who were present at the scene were half reluctant and half anxious.

"Master Qu, it's almost done!"

"If you continue like this, it will chill the hearts of the troops!"

The key point is that if they continue to drag on like this, even if they can win the battle in the end, their Qingzhou Huangtian Army will be crippled.

Now, the entire Huangtian Army has 36 leaders, big and small. How will they gain a foothold in the world then?
Don't say that there is no selfish motive under the greater good.

In fact, the reason why people are human beings, rather than stones or clay, is that everyone has desires.

For fame, for profit, even faith is nothing more than the driving force of desire.

Cheng Yuanyi raised his eyes and swept his gaze over all the core senior executives present. The vast divine consciousness of the Eight Realms Heavenly Beings spread out and sensed the location of the million-strong army.

After a moment of silence, he finally nodded.

"Well, it's almost time to start."

As soon as the words fell, the anxious and depressed expressions of the core senior executives present disappeared instantly.

"Here!"

"I will follow the commander's orders!"

……

The yellow sky flag flutters in the wind.

In the center of Yinping City, a high platform was built at some unknown time.

From the shape alone, it can be seen that this is an altar.

"Welcome Master Qu to the stage to perform!"

Amidst solemn shouts, Cheng Yuanyi stepped onto the platform step by step.

After standing at the altar in the center of the stage, Cheng Yuanyi first offered sacrifices to the three generals of Heaven, Earth and Man according to the rules.

Soon, a sigh was heard from the void.

"Does it have to be this way?"

A hint of shame flashed across Cheng Yuanyi's eyes.

"My disciple is incompetent. There is no other way to turn the tide of the battle."

Before entering Youzhou, he was indeed full of confidence.

He felt that the 500,000 troops under his command were more than enough to fight against the mere tens of thousands of Zhen Liao troops.

But after several battles, Cheng Yuanyi suddenly came to his senses.

The seemingly huge Taoist soldiers under his command were no match for the fierce and fierce warriors of the Zhen Liao Army.

For the sake of Huang Tian's great cause, Youzhou must be taken.

Otherwise, Jizhou, the heartland of Huang Tiandao, would feel like a thorn in the side and a thorn in the throat all the time!
So retreat is impossible.

In this way, some prices, no matter how great or tragic, must be paid.

In response to this, the voice in the void was silent for a moment, then sighed with reluctance.

"Alas, what guilt have the common people committed——"

There was only a faint lingering sound, and after it fell, there was no sound anymore.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuanyi felt certain in his heart and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that the Great Sage Master was tacitly approving.

It's just that I feel pity for the common people and can't bear to answer.

But for Cheng Yuanyi, this is enough.

The great and virtuous teacher cares about the people of the world and cannot bear to see them suffer, so these evil things will be borne by his disciple, him!

The thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and the expression on Cheng Yuanyi's face immediately turned into an unyielding determination.

"Please ask for the Book of Heaven—"

With a wave of his hand, an ancient book exuding a desolate atmosphere fell from the sky.

Cheng Yuanyi bowed three times to the heavenly book, and then ended with a Taoist ceremony.

He did not unfold the heavenly book, but communicated with his mind for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes.

"Connect heaven and earth, reverse yin and yang, and change life and death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge Huangtian flag on the platform, which was already fluttering, began to dance wildly.

Until a sound like the world breaking apart exploded in the hearts of everyone present.

A terrifying, dark aura that made living people feel terrified gushed out from the altar, accompanied by bursts of ghostly howlings.

Cheng Yuanyi, who was well prepared for this, instantly burst out with a powerful heavenly aura from his body.

"Go back!" With a loud shout, the Heavenly Secret Realm that had already turned from virtual to real pressed down on the terrifying 'door' on the altar that exuded ominous omen to the living.

In an instant, those shadows that couldn't wait to rush out screamed and turned into ashes.

As the twisted and strange shadows disappeared one after another, the subsequent shadows that wanted to rush out seemed to be afraid. Gradually, the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling became weaker until they disappeared completely.

After doing all this, Cheng Yuanyi's tense expression relaxed a little.

The world has its own way.

The Nine Netherworld also has underworld tunnels.

If he accidentally attracted some ancient ghost hero, who took this opportunity to return to the human world, Cheng Yuanyi would be guilty of a great crime.

Fortunately, what he worried about did not happen, and the process went as smoothly as usual.

Cheng Yuanyi, who was feeling very calm, looked serious and then shouted in a deep voice.

"My disciple Cheng Yuanyi is willing to use a hundred years of magic power to borrow the Yellow Springs' guidance!"

Follow your words.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yuanyi's originally strong aura quickly dropped at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, in that dark area that no one else could see, a stream of dim and turbid spring water instantly broke through the barrier between the human world and the underworld.

As soon as it appeared, the weather in the sky changed suddenly.

The vast and boundless deathly aura made Cheng Yuanyi's face on the altar turn pale.

"Qu handsome!"

Seeing Cheng Yuanyi like this, all the core leaders of the Huang Tian Army present exclaimed in surprise.

"I am fine, continue!"

Seeing Cheng Yuanyi's determined expression, everyone knew the seriousness of the matter and could only put aside all distractions and follow his orders.

"Array up!"

As a group of Huang Tian's core leaders shouted, they concealed the continued evolution of the strange phenomenon in the sky and suppressed the vast death energy within the formation.

……

The cavalry of the Zhen Liao Army continued to cut and trample on the fragmented formation of the Huang Tian Army.

But no one knew since when, no more Taoist soldiers came out of the city to fill these gaps.

Gradually, as the number of people around them decreased, the Taoist soldiers, after having begged for support from the city several times to no avail, slowly came to their senses.

They have become abandoned.

Or maybe they were from the beginning.

Just when they were completely in despair, they saw ochre-yellow fog suddenly emerging from the city behind them.

Horrified and helpless as their vision was blocked, they subconsciously looked behind them.

In the mist behind him, he saw many figures vaguely walking out.

"Reinforcements! Reinforcements are finally here!"

The soldiers shouted in surprise.

But soon he felt something was wrong.

Because the postures of those vague figures when they walked were so stiff, as if... as if they were not living people!
Just when he felt cold all over and didn't know how to react, an even more horrifying scene occurred.

Not far away from him, the corpses of his long-dead comrades suddenly moved.

"Juro, you're not dead? That's great!"

Seeing a Taoist soldier beside him shouting in surprise and about to rush over to help Shilang stand up, he almost subconsciously grabbed the Taoist soldier and pleaded with a trembling voice.

“Don’t…don’t go!”

"Let go! Juro and I are from the same hometown! How can I not save him?"

After saying that, the soldier broke away from the pull and rushed into the fog not far away.

But what followed was a heart-wrenching cry of pain.

"Juro! It's me, you're crazy! Ah——"

……

And at the moment when the ochre-yellow fog emerged and quickly spread across the battlefield, the Zhen Liao army was almost facing a similar scene.

The fierce and wolf-like cavalrymen who were roaming the battlefield all stopped their charge after seeing their fallen comrades miraculously "come back to life".

Many soldiers had tears in their eyes beneath their black visors, and subconsciously urged their horses to move forward.

But they were stopped by their superiors.

"do not go!"

After saying this, Shangguan, who had been reminded in advance, spoke in a dry voice.

"They...are already dead."

Now it is only the shell that has been resurrected from the dead.

After some explanation, Shangguan sighed and gritted his teeth as he looked at the stiff silence of his soldiers.

"Zhonglang has given orders! Retreat when you see fog!"

"Let's withdraw!"

But the fog was so thick that they lost their way in a blink of an eye.

After many twists and turns, they found themselves surrounded.

Looking at those stiff bodies and the figures that were rushing towards them with incredible speed amidst roars, even though these Zhenliao tigers and wolves were used to life and death, they still couldn't help but feel a chill in their backs.

"Damn it! Never mind! My men, follow me and break the evil magic of the demon!"

Driving the dead to fight, if Huang Tiandao is not a demon, then who is the demon?
This method is not an evil method. What other method is an evil method?

"But if I can survive, I will definitely kill all the evildoers!"

Just when the Zhen Liao cavalry were ready to fight to the death and vowed to break through this sea of ​​death, something strange happened!

In the fog, chaos suddenly broke out behind the sea of ​​dead corpses that were roaring and rushing forward.

It's the sound of horse hooves!

After a moment, as they tried their best to release their spiritual thoughts, they finally could vaguely see the scene in front of them.

In an instant, the face of Qu Junhou, who was in the lead, turned stiff, and the blade that had just been raised fell down powerlessly.

"how so……"

Hearing the exclamation of General Naqu, the soldiers under his command were about to ask what was going on.

The next moment, he was also stunned on the spot.

Because the figure killing his way through the sea of ​​dead corpses was too familiar.

The same black armor, the same Liaodong horse.

The only difference was that their clothes and armor were torn and the Liaodong horses they were riding were also covered in blood.

They should have been dead.

But at this moment, they were like this, carrying such a broken body, killing their way through the endless sea of ​​dead bodies and reappearing in front of him.

"Old...Old Xu——"

Naqu Junhou, who was usually mean and sarcastic, was trembling as he looked at the broken figure leading the group opposite him.

Not fear, but sadness.

The broken figure called Lao Xu just looked at him deeply with his dead eyes.

Suddenly, he pointed in a direction with the long sword in his hand, and then uttered a roar that was not like a human voice, and rushed forward on his horse.

The living people could not understand his words, but they understood his meaning.

'Follow me'!
When they rushed into the sea of ​​dead corpses, the roar was heard again.

This time, the surviving soldiers understood the meaning of the roar more clearly.

"Suppress Liao Army! Charge!"

No one knows.

As they rode their horses and wielded their swords, everyone had tears streaming down their faces under the ferocious black masks.
