After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 315: Turtle in a Jar! Ambush in a Sea of ​​Blood!

When Zhang Ping heard the name "Jiang Che", his pupils shrank instantly, and he asked in a concentrated voice:

"Is it really Jiang Che? Have you ever seen him in person?"

The South Vietnamese general kneeling on the ground shook his head:

"I have never seen Jiang Che, but I have seen the banner those people carried, which was the mighty General [Jiang]. That is how I determined the man's identity."

Zhang Ping's body became a little unstable for a moment and he took a few deep breaths. If it was just a flag, he naturally would not believe it. However, considering the current situation, that might not be the case.

No wonder Jiang Che never showed up. It turned out that he was not at Tiannan Pass at all. Instead, he led a group of elite troops to bypass them and go straight to Licheng to cut off their retreat!
"General, this matter is of great importance. We must prepare early!"

Zhou Yi said in a deep voice.

"Licheng has been destroyed. We are guilty of crimes that are difficult to redeem. The only thing we can do now is to continue attacking the city and take down Tiannan Pass to atone for our sins. Only then will I have the face to meet the king."

Zhang Ping glared at the pass in the distance and spoke with gritted teeth.

"General, don't forget that the most important order given by the king is to capture Jiang Che and the Red Blood Demon Lord, not to waste time for a city.

Even if we can take Tiannan Pass, how much will we lose? And now Jiang Che has boldly left Tiannan Pass and gone deep into our South Vietnam. This is the best opportunity to hunt him down."

Seeing that Zhang Ping seemed to have made the decision to attack the city, Zhou Yi immediately persuaded him.

"I am the commander-in-chief of this army. Everything must be under my command. After we capture Tiannan Pass, we will turn around and hunt down Jiang Che." Zhang Ping raised his hand to stop Zhou Yi's persuasion.

He didn't know anything about the dragon vein, he only knew that Licheng had been breached, and that his guilt was hard to atone for, so he had to make meritorious deeds to avoid punishment.

Zhou Yi's eyes moved, and he was silent for a moment, then he took out a golden round token from his arms, on which was written the words "King of Yue", revealing great majesty.

"General Zhang, this is a secret order from the King."

"You Zhou Yi, what do you mean?"

Zhang Ping opened his mouth and looked at the token in disbelief. He didn't expect that Zhou Yi had this thing in his hand. The key point was that he was completely unaware of this matter.

"The secret order was brought by the king through the grand masters. If General Zhang insists on attacking the city, I can only follow the king's orders."

"Why is the king so determined to hunt down Jiang Che? Give me another day, no, half a day, and I will surely be able to break through this city gate and shock the South Vietnamese army."

Zhang Ping was very unwilling at this moment.

"I don't know about this matter, but what I do know is that if General Zhang doesn't obey orders, the other Grand Masters will not take action. They have also received orders from the King."

Zhou Yi was half persuasion and half threat.

Zhang Ping stared at Zhou Yi for dozens of breaths before retracting his gaze. He put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard and whispered:
"Pass on this general's order to withdraw the troops and arrest Jiang Che!"

"What's going on today? Why haven't these Nanyue barbarians attacked yet?" On the top of Tiannan Pass, Gao Qinian frowned as he looked at the large crowd of Nanyue soldiers in front of him.

I don't understand why the war drums have been sounded but no action has been taken.

Such a strange scene made him feel uneasy.

Many soldiers at Tiannan Pass were also confused. They were all shrouded in confusion and could not figure out what South Vietnam was planning. However, they were all prepared for defense.

"Look, they seem to be withdrawing their troops"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise was heard, attracting many eyes.

In their eyes, the black torrent was now retreating in an orderly manner, even taking the tents away.

"It seems that Jiang Che has succeeded." Qi Tianhe smiled and looked relaxed. He had already felt the pressure in yesterday's battle and even made a decision secretly.

Once Tiannan City is broken, he will immediately take Qi Ningbing and Qi Wanjun away instead of fighting to the death here.

But it was a decision he had to make. After all, he had promised Jiang Che.

But if South Vietnam withdraws its troops voluntarily, there will be no problem.

"It's a pity that we are too weak, otherwise if we take this opportunity to charge out, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy." Qi Wanjun said with some regret in her eyes. Their current strength is barely enough to support Tiannan Pass.

Without the protection of a large formation, going out of the city to fight would be tantamount to seeking death.

Moreover, she currently has no idea whether the South Vietnamese side is withdrawing its troops. What if it is a strategy to lure the enemy? Once they fall into the trap, Nanguan will be finished that day.

“It’s better to be safe.”

Qi Tianhe shook his head.

Under Zhang Ping's command, more than 15,000 soldiers began to retreat in an orderly manner. After they had put themselves at a safe distance, he immediately led all the elite troops in the army to join Zhou Yi and several great masters of physiognomy.

He rushed to Licheng, even abandoning most of his troops.

There is only one intention.

That is to find Jiang Che and kill him to avenge the shame.

But no one noticed that just behind Zhang Ping and his group, Taoist Shenxu was hanging far behind, concealing his aura. When Nanyue attacked the city yesterday, Taoist Shenxu had actually been hiding in the dark.

He wanted to seize the opportunity to help Nanyue break the formation and disrupt the situation.

But to his disappointment, Jiang Che really left Tiannan Pass. For this reason, he could only endure it. When he saw the South Vietnamese side began to retreat, he knew that something might have gone wrong.

And this is indeed the case.

Jiang Che led his troops to launch a surprise attack on Licheng, an important town on the South Vietnamese border. The attack was so powerful that the South Vietnamese side had to retreat. However, this was exactly what he wanted, so he followed the South Vietnamese side.

Thinking of finding an opportunity to kill Jiang Che.

And with his strength, he is definitely capable of being the oriole.

"According to the estimated time, Zhang Ping and his men should have received the news."

Standing on another city gate in South Vietnam, Jiang Che thought secretly in his heart.

He deliberately left Qi Huan a way out so that Zhang Ping could learn the news of the fall of Licheng as soon as possible and then come to him in person.

And it is almost impossible for this to be wrong.

He knew very well that Nanyue's target was him, or more precisely, the dragon vein in the hands of the Red Blood Demon Lord. As long as this thing was in hand, it would be of great attraction to Nanyue.

The only uncertainty is whether others who want to deal with me will take action.

In fact, Jiang Che's goal from the beginning to the end was to prevent the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Sect from 'making a move'. Otherwise, he would be guarding Tiannan Pass with the help of the Red Blood Demon Lord and Ao Kun.

The South Vietnamese side had no chance of breaking through Tiannan Pass.

The reason why he went through so much trouble was just for the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Sect.

After several feuds and curses, he could almost conclude that the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Sect would not let it go, especially since he was becoming more and more powerful and even had the protection of the Grand Master of Divine Appearance.

In other words, as long as he is not dead, the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Sect will not be at peace.

If he were the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Sect, he would have acted even more swiftly and fiercely.

Judging from his own experience, he felt that he had a 30% chance of catching a strong man from the Dragon and Tiger Sect this time.

In order to prevent his whereabouts from being detected, Jiang Che did little to conceal his tracks, and even left a lot of traces along the way, just to allow Zhang Ping to find him.

Because now, news has come from Ao Kun that the ambush formation has been set up.

Can be turned on at any time.

This means that Jiang Che’s ambush and assassination plan can now begin.

Thinking of this, he hardly stopped. After massacring this important town of South Vietnam, he immediately led his troops, leaving traces along the way, and headed for the ambush site he had prepared.

That place was chosen by the Red Blood Demon Lord.

It was about a hundred miles away from Tiannan City, in a valley. It was very suitable for setting up an ambush and killing formation, not only taking advantage of the terrain, but also taking advantage of the weather. The killing formation was a method that the Red Blood Demon Lord was once very proud of.

The blood sea formation that kills the world and leaves no trace!

At that time, Jiang Che also asked the Red Blood Demon Lord, whose name was so loud and cost him almost all of his wealth, what was the power of it? The Red Blood Demon Lord's answer was...
In the late stage of the divine phase, there is no chance of survival.

A venerable late-stage divine being, nearly dead and half alive.

Coupled with Ao Kun's help and Jiang Che's methods, it is basically impossible for anyone below the level of Martial Saint to get out of that formation unless they are too strong.

Back then, he relied on this great formation and, with his cultivation base at the middle stage of the Divine Phase, killed a Venerable at the late stage of the Divine Phase. Since then, he became famous throughout the Central Plains.

On the other side, after speeding all the way to Licheng, Zhang Ping looked at the city wall that had been burned into black and became furious. After searching for a long time, he finally determined Jiang Che's route.

Afterwards, they quickly arrived at another important town.

Then, he saw a city that had been washed in blood. Almost all the blood and energy of the soldiers had been drained away, leaving only a bunch of strange mummies.

"Jiang Che, you bastard, I swear to capture you alive, drink your blood, and eat your flesh!"

Zhang Ping roared, his voice spreading in all directions.

"Tell me, where is Jiang Che?!"

In a forest, Zhang Ping raised his hand and grabbed several Tiannan soldiers in mid-air, interrogating them about Jiang Che's whereabouts. He had been chasing them for half a day, but there was no trace of Jiang Che.

Either it appears suddenly or it disappears suddenly.

He was confused, but perhaps he was lucky, as he found several of Jiang Che's men who were forced to fall behind due to their injuries in a forest.

"Bah, barbarian thief!"

A young soldier spat with disdain on his face.

But some people showed hesitation, fearing death. But before he could make a decision, another middle-aged man with a broken arm shouted:

"Zhu Zi, the whereabouts of the general cannot be revealed. If you tell, the whole clan will be implicated. If he dies in battle, you can still get compensation afterwards. Don't be confused."

"Noisy."

Zhang Ping waved his hand, and the man with the broken arm instantly exploded into a ball of bloody mist.

Zhou Yi frowned:
"General Zhang, these are just ordinary soldiers. There is no need to waste time interrogating them. You can find out with your spiritual sense."

"You don't need to say more."

Zhang Ping glanced at Zhou Yi. He had indeed neglected this matter. He did not give the others any chance and invaded their minds with his spiritual consciousness. Under the huge invasion of spiritual consciousness.

Several Tiannan soldiers whose cultivation was only at the Bone Tempering Stage were stunned on the spot and suffered extremely serious injuries.

"bang"

Throwing a few people aside at any time, Zhang Ping looked at the people behind him and said:
"Found him. After Jiang Che attacked Licheng and Guancheng, he headed straight for Tiannan Pass. He was accompanied by a large number of soldiers. If nothing unexpected happens, his speed will not be very fast. We estimate that we can find him in less than 30 miles."

"Which direction?"

"Falling Maple Valley!"

Zhang Ping said word by word.

"In that case, what are you waiting for? Let's get going immediately."

A grandmaster urged.

Before they came, the King of Nanyue had promised them that as long as they could capture Jiang Che and the Red Blood Demon Lord, he would give them two rare treasures each as a reward.

I can't wait any longer at this moment.

"Wait. Could there be a trick here? Jiang Che is a cautious person by nature, but he brought soldiers with him this time. There might be a problem." Zhou Yi suddenly spoke as he looked at the dead soldiers from the Central Plains.

"Zhou Yi, you are not scared by this man, are you? Jiang Che is just a stray dog ​​now, what tricks can he have? Even if there are, the four great masters have joined forces.

Can't we kill him?
If he had this ability, there would be no need to divide his forces for a surprise attack."

Zhang Ping snorted coldly. He was extremely unhappy about Zhou Yi using the King's Token to control him. He always felt that Zhou Yi's purpose might not be that simple, but the key was that he could not figure out the truth no matter how hard he tried.

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked apologetic:

"General Zhang's words make sense. I must have been overthinking it."

In the Fallen Maple Valley.

Jiang Che sat cross-legged on a blue stone, with the Wanjie Demon Sword inserted in front of him. The breeze was blowing slowly, and everything was so peaceful that there was no sign that a dangerous formation had been set up here.

"Boy, do you think they will be fooled?"

The Red Blood Demon Lord couldn't help but ask.

They have been waiting here for more than half an hour.

All the soldiers who accompanied them were also dismissed by Jiang Che and moved away from Luofeng Valley. If Zhang Ping and others did not fall into the trap, and if the people from the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Sect did not come, then they would suffer a great loss this time.

"If nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to find me here by following the traces I left behind."

"What if there was an accident?"

"That's just their luck."

"You are really ruthless. You spread all the news about Luofeng Valley to your soldiers just for fishing. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."

"They can't keep up, so they can only hide for the time being. I'm just in case."

"Haha, don't explain. Explaining too much will sound hypocritical."

"Shut up, they're coming."

Jiang Che's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked into the distance.

"Do I need you to tell me? My spiritual awareness can travel farther than yours."

The Red Blood Demon Lord replied.

In the distance, a black cloud was approaching rapidly, like a scene of doomsday. There was a rumbling sound, like thunder, and above the void, five figures stood tall.

It was none other than Zhang Ping Zhou Yi and three other great masters of divine physiognomy.

"Devil, you dare to take advantage of my unpreparedness to attack Licheng Guancheng and massacre my Nanyue soldiers. Today is the day for your death!" Zhang Ping held a huge axe in his hand, with a terrifying momentum and a voice like a loud bell.

Jiang Che raised his head and saw that several people had already entered the range covered by the formation. He grinned with a cruel smile:
"You are finally here. It is worth my sitting here for so long."

"Um???"

When Jiang Che said this, Zhou Yi and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, and they all felt a very dangerous feeling in their hearts.

Have you been waiting for them for a long time?

What kind of accident is this?
Is there really a fraud here?

The next moment, before they could react, blood-colored lines flashed on the ground, and blood-colored lights also appeared in the void.

In an instant, the vision of a sea of ​​blood covered an area of ​​ten thousand feet in radius.

Caught off guard, everyone was enveloped.
