Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 682 Trap
Chen Yun’s fighting ability is very strong, but his magic power is definitely not as strong as that of the late stage of the fairyland.

To be honest, he really couldn't think of any ideas for this kind of battle of hard power.

His movements of waving the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree became slower and slower, and his face turned an unusual red. It was obvious that he was suppressed by the opponent.

Niu Dali noticed it keenly and asked hurriedly: "Mr. Chen, are you okay?"

Taoist Jiao, Taoist Ba, Mei Junyan and other disciples all looked nervous.

Yelu Deguang, Zhao Yanshou and other mortals could not help but show their worries.

Chen Yun was still fighting with Jiao Mu Jiao, and quickly responded: "We have encountered some minor troubles. You should stabilize the altar. If you feel an irresistible force, please do not try to be brave."

"Here."

"As ordered."

Zhao Kuangji, Lu Yuan and others responded.

Chen Yun was activating the magic power in his body while still thinking.

At this time, his battle with Jiaomujiao in the air had reached a fever pitch.

The magic powers of the two people continued to collide within the trajectory of the Avenue, making the destiny even more chaotic.

This is just a temporary thing.

Whoever is able to suppress the other and drive away the other's magic power will be able to know the secrets of heaven.

Chen Yun naturally understood this, but the opponent's power was as vast as the ocean and he could not defeat him.

He couldn't help but look at the people at the scene, and finally sighed in his heart.

Although Niu Dali, Jiao Taoist and Ba Taoist have become immortals, they are only human immortals and cannot help him at all.

Is it really going to fail at the last moment?
Chen Yun was a little confused for a moment. He had finally caught such a good opportunity and had the hope of destroying the 200,000-strong Later Jin Army. However, because his hard power was not as good as that of the opponent, could he only regretfully fail?

No.

There is always a way out,

There must be some way for me to break this deadlock.

While Chen Yun was fighting desperately with the opponent, his head was thinking frantically.

……

On the other side, Wu Qiang.

Jiao Mujiao was constantly stepping on the altar, making hand gestures, and muttering to himself.

The remaining twenty-seven constellations serve as messengers guarding the altar.

They continued to pour their magical powers into the altar, boosting the power of the Jiaomu Jiao.

Kuimulang asked, "Deng Xingjun, what's the situation?"

The remaining twenty-six constellations all pricked up their ears.

Although they had come into contact with the altar, they were not spellcasters and therefore did not know the specific situation.

Jiao Mujiao seemed very relaxed and said, "I have completely suppressed the opponent. I estimate that in a short while, I will be able to break his magic. By then, we will be able to get a glimpse of the secret and know where the Khitan army is."

"That's good." The Pleiades star official nodded slightly and asked, "Do you know who is the spellcaster on the other side?"

Jiao Mujiao said: "Judging from his magic power, he should be a person who practices inner alchemy. His magic power is not very strong, and he may be in the middle stage of the immortal realm. Therefore, it is definitely not Lü Dongbin, Zhang Guolao and He Xiangu. The most likely ones are Chen Pu, Han Xiangzi and Cao Guojiu. Although Han Xiangzi and Cao Guojiu have good cultivation, I have never heard that they are proficient in this art. Therefore, the one who fights with me is most likely Chen Pu."

"It's him?"

"He has a lot of skills."

"Yes, he was able to win against Black Star Lord and Zhang Star Lord alone before, and now he can conceal the secrets of heaven. This Chen Pu is indeed quite capable."

"If we fight him one-on-one, we may all be his match, but this fight is different. The key to victory is mana. He is only in the middle stage of the Immortal Realm, so he can't possibly be Deng Xingjun's opponent."

"That's right, Deng Xingjun, teach this brat a lesson and let him know that we, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, are not easy to bully."

Jing Muxuan, Niu Jinniu, Kang Jinlong and others were all filled with righteous indignation.

Previously, Kuimu Lang and Pleiades lost to Chen Yun in a one-on-two battle. On the surface, it was the two of them who lost face, but in fact, it was the Twenty-Eight Constellations that lost face.

Now that everyone knows that the one who is fighting with Jiaomu Jiao is Chen Yun, they will naturally unite against the common enemy.

They want to take advantage of this fight to get back the ground lost by Kuimu Lang and Pleiades Xingguan!
Jiao Mujiao thought the same thing. "This Chen Pu has powerful skills, but no matter how powerful they are, they are useless in a fight like this. Humph, I will make him suffer today!"

Having said this, he opened his mouth and exhaled, and immortal energy gushed out, dyeing the entire altar green.

Suddenly, a "moo" sound similar to the mooing of a cow was heard in the altar, but the loudness of the sound was similar to the roar of a dragon, like thunder.

Jiaomu Jiao is one of the Seven Stars of the Eastern Azure Dragon. Now that he has caused such a commotion, it is obvious that he is using the power of the Azure Dragon to completely suppress Chen Yun.

Kuimu Lang and Mao Ri Xing Guan, the two defeated generals of Chen Yun, were so excited when they saw Jiao Mu Jiao performing his powerful magic. They thought that Chen Yun would suffer a great loss at the hands of Jiao Mu Jiao today.

Star officials such as Ghost Golden Sheep, Ox Golden Bull and Void Sun Rat also smiled.

At first, they were a little worried that the person who performed the magic was Erlang Shen or Li Jing.

In that case, Jiaomujiao might not be able to gain the upper hand.

It turned out that the caster might be Chen Yun.

This made them breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that they had picked an easy target this time.

At this moment, Jiaomu Jiao shouted "Hurry!"

The magic bell in his hand automatically floated in the air, making a series of rapid "ding-ling-ling" sounds.

Not only that, the tablet in his hand gushed out a thick green airflow that enveloped the entire altar.

Then, Jiao Mu Jiao pointed to the sky and said, "Hurry up and obey the order!"

"Moo!"
A dragon roar sounded again.

Along with the dragon's roar, an extremely huge and vivid green dragon rose into the sky and suddenly disappeared into the clouds.

……

Yingzhou City, the governor's residence.

In the back garden, Chen Yun only felt a surge of magical power like a tidal wave suddenly rushing towards him.

"what!"

He couldn't help but scream and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Niu Dali was startled and asked hurriedly: "Mr. Chen, how are you?"

Zhao Kuangji, Mei Junyan, Lu Yuan and other disciples all looked extremely worried.

Yelu Deguang, Zhao Yanshou and others also had worries and a hint of nervousness in their eyes.

Everyone knew that if Chen Yun lost the fight, the Khitan army's actions tonight would not only be in vain, but they might also be discovered by the enemy and be wiped out.

You should know that the King of Nanyuan and General Gao were all leading cavalry.

If these cavalrymen were killed, the Khitan army would be greatly weakened, which would be disadvantageous to the next war. This is just from the perspective of war.

From an economic perspective, King Nanyuan and General Gao each led 5,000 cavalrymen, or 10,000. One horse was worth thirty or forty taels of silver, and there was also the money for training the cavalrymen, as well as their equipment. It can be said that one cavalryman was worth dozens of taels of gold, and 10,000 cavalrymen was worth hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. This was a huge price for any court.

Naturally, Zhao Yanshou, Yelu Deguang and others were not only worried about Chen Yun's safety, but also worried that tens of thousands of cavalry would suffer as a result.

Chen Yun quickly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and continued to dance with the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree. "The opponent's magic power is too strong. I may not be able to hold on for much longer."

Niu Dali couldn't help but said, "Mr. Chen, if you really can't hold on any longer, don't force it. You have already damaged your origin. If you continue like this, you will most likely be seriously injured."

Although Yelu Deguang felt sorry for the cavalry, he cared more about Chen Yun's safety, and couldn't help but persuade him, "Yes, Mr. Chen, if it really doesn't work, don't hold on."

Chen Yun did not stop fighting with the other party at all. Although his face was pale, he still said with full energy: "It doesn't matter. I will hold on for a while. As long as the King of Nanyuan and General Gao successfully cross the river, it doesn't matter if they find us."

"master."

"teacher."

"Senior Brother Chen."

Zhang Qian, Lin Lingsu, Qingfeng Mingyue and others all seemed to be very reluctant.

As practitioners, they naturally knew that Chen Yun was supporting himself now and was only slightly injured. Who knew that the opponent would use more powerful means later and would take Chen Yun's life?
No one wanted Chen Yun to insist on going any further, but they had been with Chen Yun for so many years and knew his temper. No one could stop him from making a decision, which meant that it would be useless even if they continued to persuade him.

Of course Chen Yun knew that the opponent was powerful and he should give up fighting with him at this time, but he was unwilling to fail like this, so he still tried hard to persevere.

He really couldn't think of any good plan, and could only hope that he could hold on until King Nanyuan and General Gao successfully crossed the river.

In that way, the cavalry could march straight south without worrying about being discovered by the enemy.

The question is, can I hold on until then?

To be honest, Chen Yun really had no idea at all.

He took a deep breath and prepared to fight to the death with Jiaomu Jiao.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Chen Yun's mind. The King of Nanyuan and General Gao were outflanking the enemy in two groups. Although they were not on the same route, the distance between them was not too far. If one of them encountered any emergency, the other would be able to rush to support in a moment.

He was thinking, if he deliberately exposed one of the King of Nanyuan or General Gao, so that the opponent's Jiao Mujiao would misjudge the true strength of the Khitan army's sneak attack, would it have some miraculous effect?
For example, if Jiaomu Jiao only saw 5,000 cavalry and informed Du Chongwei, he would definitely send troops to resist according to the standard of 5,000 cavalry, such as sending 2,000 to 3,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry.

Two or three thousand cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry may have a chance of resisting five thousand cavalry, but it is absolutely impossible for them to counter ten thousand cavalry.

In ancient times, ten thousand cavalrymen could chase and attack one hundred thousand infantrymen.

The more cavalry there are, the stronger the strength they can exert. Although there is only a difference of twice between 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 cavalry, the actual strength they can exert may be less than a quarter of that.

Yes, the difference between 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 cavalry is that huge.

It seems like a good idea to use the cavalry from King Nanyuan or General Gao as bait.

More importantly, Chen Yun could convey his divine thoughts in advance to tell these people that their positions had been exposed and that they needed to act as bait.

Then he could tell the other team to get closer in advance, so that they could catch the Jin army off guard, right?
Chen Yun thought this was feasible.

Thinking of this, he no longer tried to mobilize his magic power as he did before, but withdrew some of his magic power rhythmically.

He acted as if he was not strong enough to continue fighting with the opponent.

He believed that even if the other party sensed it, they would not pursue him relentlessly and would only want to expel his magic power as quickly as possible.

……

Wuqiang City.

Jiaomu Jiao mobilized his magical powers to the extreme and was about to give Chen Pu a fierce attack.

Suddenly, he felt that the opponent's magic power was slowly fading, and it seemed that he was running out of strength.

Jiao Mujiao was overjoyed and quickly said to everyone, "It seems that Chen Pu is unable to resist and is ready to withdraw his magic."

"Haha."

"As expected, I said long ago that he is no match for Deng Xingjun in a fight."

"Yes, although Chen Pu is good at fighting, the battle is about who has more powerful magic power. How could he possibly be better than Deng Xingjun? It is reasonable for him to admit defeat."

"Finally, I've gotten rid of my anger and let this kid know how powerful we, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, are."

"Well, we got our place back."

The other twenty-seven constellations couldn't help but feel happy.

Finally, Jiaomu Jiao felt that Chen Yun's magic power was almost gone and seemed to be slowly fading away.

Even so, it no longer affects his ability to discern the secrets of heaven.

He ignored his "defeated general" and instead spied on the whereabouts of the Khitan army.

Soon, Jiaomu Jiao discovered that the five thousand cavalrymen led by King Nanyuan were rushing towards the river bank, apparently preparing to cross the river.

Jiaomu Jiao also saw Li Jing, Nezha, Jinzha and others in the team led by the King of the Southern Courtyard.

As for Tieguai Li, he was not discovered because his cultivation was far superior to his.

He checked around a bit out of caution.

Except for a small area blocked by Chen Yun's magic power, the rest of the area within a radius of dozens of miles could be seen clearly, without any abnormal movements.

As for the part blocked by Chen Yun's magic power, Jiaomujiao remembered that it was a mountain forest, which was not very conducive to marching.

In addition, he believed that Chen Yun was collecting the Dharma, so he instinctively thought that there were only this pair of people.

Because the Nanyuan King's group of people might have to cross the river soon, Jiaomu Jiao became anxious and did not bother to see clearly what the remaining forest looked like.

He quickly withdrew his magic power and shouted, "The Khitan thieves are indeed determined to do evil. They have sent four to five thousand cavalrymen to cross the river. Immediately notify Marshal Du Chongwei, and all of us, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, will go with the army."

Jing Muxuan was stunned. "We have all twenty-eight constellations out? Aren't we afraid that someone will come to Wuqiang to cause trouble?"

Jiao Mujiao said with a serious face: "Among the four or five thousand Khitan cavalry, there are Li Jing, Nezha, Jinzha, Muzha and the nine-headed Bull Demon King. Do you think we should go together?"

"Is Li Tianwang and his family here?"

"This family is very powerful. It is indeed necessary for all twenty-eight constellations to go out together to fight."

"Yes, otherwise, even if we discovered the whereabouts of the Khitan army, we might not be able to defeat Li Tianwang and his family, giving them the opportunity to cast spells to summon wind and rain to help the Khitan army, leading to our ultimate defeat."

"Okay, let's go together."

"Fortunately, this time Deng Xingjun discovered that the other party had concealed the secrets of heaven and finally saw through this evil plot, otherwise Wu Qiang would be in danger."

"Haha, now we have seen through the opponent's trick, right? We are sure to win this time!"

All the twenty-eight constellations were in high spirits, thinking that this time they not only defeated Chen Yun in the fight of magic and regained the ground they had lost before, but also discovered the whereabouts of the Khitan army. Next they could slaughter five thousand cavalrymen.

They had every reason to believe that if the Khitan lost 5,000 cavalry, the difficulty of their next southern expedition would certainly become much greater.

At the thought of this, all the twenty-eight constellations seemed somewhat excited, as if they saw the dawn of victory.

They didn't realize at all that they had fallen into Chen Yun's trap.
