Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 431 Perfection and Arrangement

Re-embarkation position.

As the second and final line of defense for Jinling City, the city gates involved include Zhonghua Gate, Guanghua Gate, Zhongshan Gate, Taiping Gate, and Yijiang Gate.

Once the city gate is lost and the Japanese army occupies it, there will be no need to fight anymore. The fewest people who can escape will be the best.

Therefore, when the first line of defense outside the city was lost and the garrison troops in the city retreated to the Fukuo position, the battle became extremely intense.

Wang Yi, who had just created a space method based on his observation of the Wang family's Shentujie Gate, came to Zhongshan Gate, which was relatively far away from Xiaguan Wharf among the five city gates.

This city gate is about eight kilometers away from the dock in a straight line, and about eleven kilometers away by road.

It is also one of the main attack directions of the Japanese army at present.

Once lost, it would trigger a chain reaction, causing the defenders and civilians at the other four city gates to be blocked by the Japanese army when they retreated and transferred, which would increase the pressure dramatically.

So when Wang Yi arrived here, there was already a roar of artillery fire. The main force of the teaching corps responsible for defending here was relying on military forces and city walls to stubbornly block the attack of the Japanese troops.

Wang Yi hid his figure and looked at the teaching corps that could only passively defend against the Japanese artillery fire and wait for an opportunity to counterattack, but did not choose to directly participate.

Instead, he relied on the city wall and began to use the methods he had just created.

Use your mind to connect to the magnetic fields of heaven and earth in this area, and allow the magnetic field and true qi in your body to cooperate with the space seen by your own observation method, and penetrate into the city wall without any pores.

Just like the Wang family's magic paint requires a medium for painting when it casts a boundary gate to connect the world in the painting, Wang Yi at this time also uses the city wall under his feet as a medium.

Unlike the Wang family who could move freely after entering the world in the painting by casting the boundary gate, his move was a fixed position. The entrance was set on the city wall, and the exit was set on the battlefield at the maximum distance of ten feet.

Watching the stray bullets from the Japanese army flying towards the city wall from time to time, Wang Yi said softly after completing the settings: "Open~"

It can be seen that some stray bullets that were originally flying towards the city wall where Wang Yi was standing did not produce the expected explosive effect when they hit the city wall after Wang Yi shouted, but instead directly penetrated into it silently.

The next moment, these stray bullets suddenly flew out from the air at the maximum distance of ten feet and flew towards the direction of the Japanese attack.

For a moment, the Japanese troops attacking the city gate position were hit directly by the stray bullets that came from nowhere. Men and horses fell to the ground, screaming in agony. Even the offensive was slowed down and the troops began to retreat.

For the soldiers of the main regiment of the teaching corps who were responsible for blocking the enemy, they did not understand where the artillery support came from, but when they saw that the enemy's attack was thwarted, they naturally fought back and drove the Japanese army out of their positions.

Faced with the counterattack of the Teaching Corps, the main force of the Japanese army had to retreat under the cover of artillery fire. The stray bullets from these covering artillery fires that hit the city walls naturally became boomerangs that hit them again, which was another self-inflicted mistake.

Standing on the city wall and watching the effect of his move, he laughed out loud.

"It's true that the city gates were crossed and innocent people were affected. However, ten feet is the maximum space I can open up. What about the maximum casting distance?"

As he said this, Wang Yi also withdrew the ten-foot space he had invested in the city wall under his feet, and relying on the magnetic field range of heaven and earth that his mind could resonate with, he began to try the operation of moving the space without moving.

The space that was originally fixed within a ten-zhang radius of the city wall where Wang Yi was stationed also moved forward with the counterattack of the main force of the Teaching Corps, serving as an invisible protective umbrella for the main force of the Teaching Corps during its counterattack.

It turns out that this operation is feasible.

When the main force of the Japanese army retreated, the cross-fire cover fired at the main regiment of the teaching corps. The artillery shells were swallowed by the entrance of this invisible space, flew out from the exit and bit them back.

And because the speed of the artillery shells themselves cannot be captured by the naked eye, when these Japanese saw that few people in the main regiment of the Teaching Corps, which should have been within the firepower range, fell, but their own positions were repeatedly hit by artillery fire, they never thought that there were practitioners attacking in secret. They thought that they had missed the target and the other side had called in heavy firepower.

For a time, they were unable to organize an effective position and were forced to retreat in a panic under the gunfire and artillery shells they had fired.

Even the main regiments of the teaching corps that fought back did not expect that they would be able to repel the Japanese attack so quickly and with so few casualties. They had not yet recovered from this reality when the Japanese army retreated in a panic, leaving behind a pile of corpses.

But they also understood the principle of not pursuing a desperate enemy, and did not pursue them in depth. Instead, they chose to shrink their defenses, collecting the bodies of their comrades while building fortifications.

Wang Yi, who had been secretly helping on the city wall, also roughly understood the advantages and disadvantages of the method he created.

"The casting distance is positively correlated with the range of the heaven and earth magnetic field that I can control. That's understandable. As for the consumption, it's also within the normal range. With my current cultivation level, with ten feet as the largest space, I can create fifty such spaces in the city. Without the injection of Qi, it can only last for half a day at most.

There is only an entrance and an exit, and it cannot be fine-tuned. Otherwise, all these stray bullets should hit the heads of these little devils, and there will be no accidental injuries. Tsk, it is indeed a bit lacking in the fire to use it for killing."

As the caster, Wang Yi felt it most clearly.

He had no way of influencing or controlling these stray bullets that entered his temporary space in reality. They were just like diversion ports. Apart from changing the general direction of their target, he was unable to directly control the precise landing point of each stray bullet.

In Wang Yi's opinion, this sense of déjà vu is equivalent to Doctor Strange opening a portal to attack Ebony Maw in Avengers 3. It is best used in a single-player melee, but if it is used with teammates, it will test the tacit understanding between the two.

Another point is to open up media.

The Wang family's Shentujiemen needs a medium to connect to the world in the painting. This medium cannot be a living thing, but only a dead thing.

Walls, ground, any flat surface that Wang Jia can use his divine energy to paint on can allow him to draw a gate and enter the world in the painting, and use it to move around. There is a pre-casting period, but once you enter, it is very convenient.

Although this has no pre-swing and needs inanimate objects to rely on, there is no fixed medium. Walls, air, water... are all fine. But once the entrance and exit are set up, he can only teleport, move, and hide within this fixed area.

In other words, once the object serving as an anchor point moves beyond the range of ten feet, this temporarily opened space will collapse on its own without the need for Wang Yi's control. As for what will happen to the people and things hidden in this space, no one knows.

It may be ejected and returned to three-dimensional reality, or it may be directly crumpled into a ball in space and then spit out.

"I thought it could barely be used as a short-range Flying Thunder God. Looks like I need to study it further. I took the Flying Thunder God for granted. Let me see if I can train it into a Divine Power. That would be easy. After all, it's a skill, not a Tao. There are always limitations." Although a little disappointed, for Wang Yi, this method was enough.

He had a clear idea of ​​how to deal with the street fighting when the city was broken and the hiding and relocation of the people in the city.

As long as the problem of the temporary space being opened up and being able to survive for a long time without his support from outside can be solved, tens of thousands of people can be saved.

After figuring this out, Wang Yi didn't stay in Zhonghuamen for long. He turned around and ran towards the pier.
-
At the dock, the old patriarch of the Wang family and the seven Wang family members around him have not yet recovered from the shock of Wang Yi's creation of a method similar to that of their Wang family's Shentu Jiemen.

It is understandable. It has been passed down in the family for thousands of years and has stood firm in the circle. Until today, it is still the master of the two major painting schools. It was just looked at by an outsider for half the night, and no one asked or said anything, but they just came up with a similar one. Who can bear this?

Is the gap between people really that big?
However, Master Jin Guang, who had experience, looked at the expressions of the old master Wang and his family, thought about it, and then stepped forward to comfort them in the tone of an experienced person.

"I say to the Wang family, think positively. Is it strange for this guy or Zhang Zhiwei from the Tianshi Mansion to do this? Not at all. You should think positively. If it was Zhang Zhiwei from the Tianshi Mansion standing here today, with his talent and the background of the Tianshi Mansion, he might have exposed the background and methods of your Wang family's Shentu clearly on the spot, and then come up with a better work than your Wang family's Shentu in front of your Wang family. That would be embarrassing for your Wang family."

It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but once he said it, Patriarch Wang felt even more emo.

"Is this true?!"

"Oh, didn't you tease me just now, saying that I was picking up the Golden Escape Flowing Light that even the Tianshi Mansion doesn't practice as a treasure? Then didn't you admit that the Tianshi Mansion has a method that is better than mine, so they don't bother to practice this outdated escape method. Since the Tianshi Mansion can have an escape method that is better than the Golden Escape Flowing Light, why can't they have a skill that is almost as good as your Wang family's Shen Tu? They don't use it because they don't need to, not because they don't have it."

"Master, you are being too cautious. It is said that a thousand moves are not as good as one new move. If you were the disciple of the Tianshi Mansion, every one of them would be Zhang Zhiwei. It would be good enough if they could practice the golden light and master the talisman. They are still thinking of other means. The Tianshi Mansion has been passed down for so many years, and there are so many generations of Tianshi. Until now, there is only one Zhang Zhiwei who is considered by the contemporary Tianshi to be on par with the founder Zhang Daoling. Apart from Zhang Zhiwei, even if there are really high-level disciples of the Tianshi Mansion who have practiced Danqing, how many of them can compare with the Wang family who has inherited Danqing for thousands of years? Old man, don't you think this is the truth?"

As soon as Wang Yi, who had just returned from a trip, arrived at the dock, he heard Master Jin Guang insulting the old patriarch of the Wang family, so he quickly stepped forward to explain.

Otherwise, given the style of Quan Xing and his gang, a few more words would lead to a fight between the two sides.

Patriarch Wang is not the kind of guy who would dwell on trivial matters. He was confused just now because the shock was too great, but after Wang explained it one by one, he figured it out.

Yes, Wang Yi and Zhang Zhiwei are recognized by everyone in the circle as the two most capable of achieving the highest level of talent in this era. If you have to compare yourself with these two, you will be autistic for the rest of your life, and even your children and grandchildren will follow suit. Comparing yourself with others on such matters is just asking for trouble.

Once he figured it out, old Patriarch Wang looked at Wang Yi who had returned and he liked him more and more.

"You did say some nice things, unlike this group of Quan Xing. So, have you tested your skills? How does it compare to my Wang family's Shen Tu Jiemen?"

"Of course I am not as good as you. I am still a little lacking in skills. I came to ask you for some advice, old man."

"What temperature?"

Wang Yi did not hide anything and directly explained the advantages and disadvantages of his original method. The old master Wang listened and nodded.

"Well, in terms of tolerance, your method is indeed better than that of the Realm Gate. I think this is also your original intention for creating this method, saving people as the main method, and killing as the auxiliary method. I can't help you with killing. Our Wang family's magic is not based on killing. But as for how to survive, I can give you some advice. But I am very curious, doesn't your method itself have the ability to survive?"

"That's because you, old man, are a cultivator and can control your own Qi and inject it into it, but the common people are not like that. Although they have Qi, you also understand that if nothing unexpected happens, they will never be able to enter the door in their entire lives, let alone guide their own Qi. If this problem cannot be solved, this method can only last for a day, but not for a few days."

"That's right. You came to ask me like this. I guess the situation at the city gate is very bad."

"That's true. The Japanese have pushed their troops to the city gate. It will only take two or three days to break the city. What will happen next is fighting in the city, with soldiers and civilians fleeing. It's unknown how many people I can ferry across the river with these boats. Once we cross the river, we can't come back. If we don't make plans now, it will be too late to regret it."

"I'm afraid that by then, the iron chains will be across the river, and you won't be able to cross it even if you want to."

"So it's better to have two options than to just wait and be killed."

"Good, please come with me to find a place, and I will discuss with you in detail how to allow ordinary people to survive in your method."

"Then I would like to thank you first."

"Let's go, time waits for no one."

In the following attack and defense of the Fukuo position, Wang Yi and the old patriarch of the Wang family frequently appeared between the several gates of the Fukuo position, using the battle positions of the two armies as experiments. Under the guidance of the old patriarch of the Wang family, they constantly took the Japanese soldiers from the Japanese army for experiments, trying to see how to allow ordinary people to hide for a long time in the temporary space opened up by Wang Yi.

Because it was done secretly, with only two or three devils conducting the experiment each time, it did not seem out of place on the battlefield and would not be noticed by the Japanese army.

While conducting experiments, temporary spaces were also being arranged in the city.

Finally, Wang Yi found a way to allow ordinary people to hide in the temporary space for a longer period of time.

However, this method is somewhat unfair. It is a kind of external stimulation. Simply put, there is a great terror between life and death.

"It seems that your current method can only keep ordinary people hiding for a long time in this way. Alas, after all, the country is poor and the people are weak, otherwise how could this small country of yours be able to run wild like this on our Chinese land!"

"This is the best way. Without great terror, how can we remember today's disaster? How can we let future generations keep it in mind and work hard to become stronger?"

"You have the heart of a saint, but have you thought it through? Do you really want to do this?"

"How about not treating it this way? Everyone needs a push, but old man, it's time for you to go."

"Where are you going? You've already pulled Quan Xing here. If we leave now, it will only confirm the reputation of the Mingmen Zhengdao as helping the cowardly. We in the Wang family can't afford to lose face, and neither can these fellow practitioners who came here to help. You are really calculating, Quan Xing, Mingmen Zhengdao, and you've even included yourself. You don't value life, you don't act like a cultivator."

"Haha, I'm not a pure practitioner to begin with, old man, do you know that?"
