Two Realms: I use martial arts to ask for longevity

Chapter 463 Attack + Ambush
Chapter 499: Attack + Chapter 500: Ambush
"Come on, come on, you're welcome. Although the spiritual energy here is much thinner than that of the blessed land, there is no shortage of worldly enjoyments."

Zhou Ping'an kept urging him to drink.

The wine is a tribute fruit wine from Yuntai Town, called "Red Cherry Wine". I don't know how it was brewed, but it has a clear and sweet taste.

In addition to the fact that the alcohol content is not too high, Zhou Ping'an even feels that it tastes better than any sweet wine or red wine in modern society.

Ever since he became sworn brothers with Bai He that day and invited him to Xin Garden for a banquet, he discovered that although this man sometimes behaved like a master, he still maintained the demeanor of a master.

However, he has a huge flaw...

That is, when you see something delicious, you can't walk.

Thinking that he still needed this second brother to protect him and help him conquer the world, Zhou Ping'an naturally would not be too stingy.

He immediately ordered his fellow disciples to prepare food and wine and to accompany him for a few meals.

Also, find out about the situation inside this blessed land.

Bai He took a bite of the Yuanyang Five Treasures Sashimi with his chopsticks and immediately couldn't stop eating, "Mmm, delicious..."

He picked up the red cherry wine and took a sip, then looked up and sighed, tears streaming down his eyes.

'That's not true, is it? '

Zhou Ping'an was surprised, wondering if the chef from Xinyuan had performed beyond his level today.

He picked up a piece of food with chopsticks in confusion and found that it was almost the same as usual. When he looked at Bai He again, his eyes were a little weird.

From this point of view, the blessed land and cave, apart from the abundant spiritual energy and many precious medicines for cultivation, is not really a good place.

Some of the words that were extracted from Baihe's mouth should not be made up.

Look how hungry this child is.

According to Bai He, the Yunshui Sect is not the only one that dominates the blessed land it occupies.

They used spirit stones...

In order to earn spirit stones and have a full meal, some female martial artists would even sell their bodies, otherwise they would starve to death.

There are also some martial artists who, even if they have reached the Dao Foundation Realm, still have to mine for some big families.

Among cultivators, life-and-death battles would often occur, and the defeated would become slaves, never to be free for the rest of their lives.

Moreover, demons are rampant there, and the human cultivators are at a disadvantage most of the time.

"Eat more if you like it."

Zhou Ping'an finally understood why Bai He, the great master, disregarded everything else and tried every means to become sworn brothers with him the moment he saw him.

'He must have practiced some kind of eye technique that can see destiny, so this makes sense.'

"Brother, you may not know that I haven't had a full meal in a long time since I was kicked out of my home and hunted down.

After much difficulty, he obtained a treasure and gained the qualification to enter the mortal world. Now, he is probably still living in hiding in East Desert City, living a hard life."

"Eastern Wasteland City?"

“This city is not big. Huang Dongliu, the founder of the Huang family, is the city lord. The laws are strict and the people in the city live in extreme hardship.

Also, they have to deal with attacks from the Eastern Wasteland Demon Sect and the Red Blood Sect every now and then...

Before coming here, I overheard a piece of news that Huang Dongliu had secretly transferred his outstanding descendants and was ready to take over the city."

"He keeps coaxing us, the Taoist martial artists, to defend the city at all costs. It's easy to tell what he's up to."

"Isn't it said that there are many ancestors of our Yunshui Sect there? Could it be that they are all occupying their own areas and not helping each other?"

Zhou Ping'an was very surprised.

"Brother, you don't know that things are different now than before.

Thousands of years ago, those ancestors would still take care of each other and join forces to fight against the enemies.

Later, as the family branched out, each had their own family to worry about, and they all competed for their own resources, so there were more or less dirty things between them...

Today, how many people still remember the original oath, I am afraid only God knows. "

Baihe doesn't want to say much about his background.

Zhou Ping'an didn't dare to stare and ask.

I just asked about the strength of some sects and demon forces in the blessed land, and I felt embarrassed to continue to delve into the details.

It is a little different from the paradise I imagined.

In Zhou Ping'an's view, it seemed like a semi-closed little world.

Apart from the abundant spiritual energy and the ability to accommodate higher-level military forces, it is similar to the model of this world.

The strong are high above, and the common people are like ants.

People with talent will be fought over by various sects, while those without talent will serve the powerful as slaves and production tools for generations to come.

"Sure enough, when great power belongs to oneself and the strong have a long life span, the common people of the world will be completely reduced to pigs and dogs, and there will be no possibility of turning things around."

Thinking about it this way, this Dayu world seems to be more friendly to ordinary people.

At least, they can raise the flag of rebellion from time to time and change the dynasty, so that the upper class will not be so unscrupulous.

Of course, this situation is based on the thousand-year cycle of spiritual tides. If the spiritual energy has always been there, it is very likely that this place is no different from the "blessed land" mentioned by Baihe.

It will become a hopeless place without any hope.

"By the way, how many people are there in the East Wasteland City you mentioned?"

“As for martial artists, if we include those in the ordinary training stage, there should be more than 30,000 of them, and ordinary people should be around 70,000 to 80,000.

Including the caravans that come from time to time, and the people who migrate here from all over to escape disaster, there should be 100,000 ordinary people."

This city is not small.

Zhou Ping'an thought about it and almost understood the situation on the other side.

No wonder Bai He reminded himself not to go there unless it was absolutely necessary.

From his description, we can also hear that the situation over there might be quite chaotic, even more chaotic than that of the Dayu Dynasty.

If a warrior without a background has any good stuff on him, it is estimated that he will not be able to keep it.

Either they are snatched away by demons, or they are coveted by their own people.

Of course, there are no such things as our own people.

Bai He was chased everywhere and ran here looking for an opportunity. Unless he had extremely strong strength that made everyone afraid of him, he would not be able to escape.

Otherwise, there is only one way to go.

That means keeping a low profile and obeying orders.

"All crows are black, and there is no paradise anywhere."

Zhou Ping'an sighed secretly.

……

"Brother, Guangyun has received a letter."

Lin Huaiyu flashed into the garden, greeted Bai He first, then turned around, took out a piece of letter with a slightly anxious look and handed it to Zhou Ping'an.

"Qiyuan County in Zhaoshan Commandery sent out troops, but Dong Liancheng was unable to resist and lost Tongyuan County. He retreated 300 miles and was seriously injured..."

"This happened two days ago?"

Zhou Ping'an frowned slightly.

It hasn't even been three days since he arrived at Yunshui Sect.

Calculating the time, it is estimated that Zhaoshan County has sent troops since leaving Guangyun.

In other words, after the Blood Shura, who was suspected to be the incarnation of Monk Xuanming, was killed by himself, there was already movement on the opposite side.

"What a quick response."

Zhou Ping'an let out a long sigh.

It seems that by taking down Guangyun, I had stirred up a hornet's nest, and the other party's retaliation was unexpectedly fierce.

The speed of the attack was unexpectedly fast, not even giving him a chance to breathe.

Chapter 500 Ambush

The letter said that Dong Liancheng's 10,000 soldiers were badly defeated.

After several battles, half of his men were killed or wounded. Now he fled hastily to Xiaoshan with 4,000 men, and sent a message to Guangyun for help.

The other party was chasing behind slowly.

At present, we only know that the general leading the troops on the opposite side uses the true power of Buddhism, has infinite strength, and has an elite force that is extraordinary.

Dong Liancheng was defeated miserably at the first contact.

"It's a trap..."

As soon as Zhou Ping'an read the letter, he immediately understood what the other side was planning by slowly chasing Dong Liancheng's troops.

Could it be another mode of besieging a point and attacking its reinforcements?

At this time, any tactic of adding fuel to the fire is wrong.

I just hope that Qingnv and the others don't get fooled...

"Send a message... No need, let's go back immediately. I suspect that there may be experts ambushing us in Zhaoshan County. We can't give them the chance to defeat us one by one."

Zhou Pingan said in a deep voice.

Lin Huaiyu obviously thought so too: "We have to save Tongyuan and Xiaoshan, but we also have to guard against the enemy's elite troops attacking Guangyun City. Should we split our forces into two groups?"

"No need. Just concentrate your forces and attack all the way to Zhaoshan County. I don't believe anyone would still want to attack Guangyun County."

This is actually a game of "changing children".

In Zhou Ping'an's opinion, he naturally could not expose his weaknesses at this time.

If you try to take all aspects into consideration and are mobilized by the enemy, you will end up with loopholes everywhere and become extremely passive in the end.

It would be better to gather all the masters together, make a fist, and attack directly.

"I just don't know how many experts and troops the Brahma Temple is willing to send out this time to fight internally. If too many forces are withdrawn, the Red Lotus Army in the north will definitely not sit idly by. If they see an opportunity, they are not dead..."

Things go round and round.

His greatest ally turned out to be the Red Lotus.

All I can say is that nothing in the world is more bizarre than this.

Cui Guangling slandered him as a traitor, but he was unwilling to admit it from the bottom of his heart.

But it turned out that Mr. Cui was quite prescient, and in some ways, he was not wrong.

"Brother, if you want to go to war, He is willing to be the vanguard and make achievements today."

Bai He suddenly stood up, stopped eating and drinking, his cheeks flushed abnormally, and he suddenly asked for a fight.

Zhou Ping'an and Lin Huaiyu turned around in surprise.

They were delighted, looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"War is a dangerous time. My second brother has finally come to this place, and now he has to fight to the death. Isn't it inappropriate?"

"It's okay. I read the Art of War when I was young and have always loved military affairs. I have always dreamed that one day I would be able to lead troops into battle and capture cities and territories..."

Bai He smiled bitterly and said, "In the blessed land of the cave, the sects fought with each other, but they used all means possible, most of them were sneak attacks, assassinations, single combat and beheading, and there were rarely opportunities for large-scale military confrontations.

Besides, in this blessed land, even if you win, you won’t have any luck.”

The last sentence is the truth.

Zhou Ping'an noticed this keenly and said with a smile: "Since my second brother is willing to help me, I couldn't ask for more. I was just worrying about how to deal with the masters from the Brahma Temple. Now, I can rest assured."

The two hit it off immediately and burst into laughter.

Some things are actually good when they are put out in the open.

Bai He did not hide his thoughts from the very beginning. He wanted to share the good fortune so that he could make rapid progress in his practice.

Logically speaking, with Zhou Ping'an's current territory and luck, it is not enough to help him, who is in the late stage of Zhenwu.

But for some reason, he was certain that Zhou Ping'an would soon achieve great success and occupy more territory.

Then, he will also be able to benefit from it, make rapid progress, and reach the ultimate realm of divine power.

And what about Zhou Ping'an?

Ever since I witnessed the power of Baihe's "Black Water Mystical Snake" in front of the ancestral hall that day, I made up my mind not to miss this person.

He is clear now.

There are three realms of Zhenwu, and the levels of cultivation vary.

As for combat power, it also depends on what the true form is.

Different true spirits have achieved different Dharma images, and at the same realm, their combat power may be very different.

Sometimes, to know one’s true strength, it is useless to just show one’s level; one has to fight to know.

Zhou Ping'an had actually figured this out a long time ago.

Those ancient legends, as well as some stories seen in the modern world, have already revealed this.

The innate talents of monster cubs are completely different from the innate combat capabilities of human cubs.

So, what about the cubs of spiritual or divine beasts?

Depending on the variety, the difference in the basis can be dozens or hundreds of times, or even immeasurable.

It is said that some creatures have the power to destroy the world as soon as they are born. How powerful would the true spirit of such a creature be?

Zhou Ping'an had secretly inquired about it and found out that the Black Water Mystical Snake was a top-grade true spirit.

The true spirit form he cultivated is probably considered to be one of the top masters even in the late Zhenwu stage.

In this day and age when Shenwu is not around and Zhenwu is the dominant force.

The existence of Baihe is undoubtedly a powerful weapon.

When Bai He attacked, Zhou Ping'an secretly estimated that even with his current strength, he might not be able to defeat the opponent.

If you keep such a master at a distance and do not make friends with him, you must be crazy.

"Well, let's get going without further delay."

……

On the west bank of the Wei River, a large ship was floating on the water.

The leader stood there with an anxious look on his face.

The two people behind him paddled hard, and the boat moved quickly. Soon, they crossed the river and reached the other side.

The three men led their horses off the boat, threw down a piece of silver, mounted their horses and galloped away.

"There are still 600 miles to go. If we don't stop, we should be able to reach Yuntai Town before dark today."

There was worry in Wu Tietui's eyes and anxiety in his voice.

"I don't know if His Majesty has received the letter. If something happens to the pigeon, it will all depend on us..."

Wu Tietui thought that the army had suffered repeated defeats in the past two days and was now in imminent danger. General Dong was seriously injured and dying, and there were no experts to come to the rescue. I am afraid that the army was in danger of being wiped out.

Although I am only a backup, no accidents can occur.

The two tough-looking soldiers behind him were also covered in dust and looked very anxious.

But no one heard them, they were communicating secretly through voice transmission.

"This is too slow. I told you to just wait among the army. Zhou Ping'an will definitely not ignore his men."

"Running around is really stupid."

One of them shook his head and said, "When a large army fights, accidents are bound to happen. I heard that once there are more of these humans, they will form a battle formation and become much stronger."
