Zhutian: From Douluo, the illusion becomes real

Chapter 676, Section 675: Timely Evacuation!

The lights flickered.

Each flash stretches the surrounding shadows into unrecognizable shapes.

It looked eerie and ghostly.

But it's actually very safe.

After all, this is Bloodstained Fortress.

It is the fiefdom of Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei.

So far, no fool has dared to come here to cause trouble.

Needless to say, those who cause trouble are even worse.

Furthermore, this is a dungeon.

It is one of the locations in the heart of Bloodstained Fortress.

Although the core of Bloodcloth Fortress is a forbidden zone where no one knows its interior, apart from Lord Bai Yifei, all those who entered have disappeared. Not to mention corpses, there isn't even a bone left. No one knows what happened to those who went in out of curiosity. All that is known is that the forbidden zone contains great terror, and the dungeon is only on the edge of the forbidden zone.

But anyway.

It's impossible for the enemy to suddenly attack this place.

Perhaps one day in the future, the iron cavalry of other empires will trample this place, but the first to be crushed will surely be the White Armor Army on the outskirts.

These jailers still had time to react.

Therefore, these prison guards did not dare to abandon their posts.

However, his mental state has clearly declined.

Inclined towards laziness.

Although there was no food or drink, many people were wearing armor, carrying spears, yawning from time to time, and staring blankly at the braziers below, not particularly concerned about their surroundings.

However, they soon paid the price for their rash actions!
Accompanied by a hoarse roar.

It could also be described as a strange, inhuman scream.

The earth suddenly trembled.

This startled the hundreds of prison guards present.

One of the soldiers was dressed much better than the others, with a small red tassel wrapped around his helmet. Compared to the other soldiers who carried spears and shields, the Bai family general, who had a sword at his waist, immediately drew his sword.

He was directing the hundreds of white-armored soldiers guarding the area.

Process tasks in batches.

Soon, a lit torch was taken over by a soldier nearby.

At the same time, whether it's rolling logs or falling rocks.

There are also a few heavy crossbows that can be pulled over.

Because most heavy crossbows are fixed in place.

The wall bricks were used to build a wall around a corner.

Although it is possible to block the road.

However, this greatly reduces flexibility.

In short, after grabbing all the weapons he could, the general mustered his inner strength and, with his third-rate cultivation, threw them with all his might.

The torch instantly traced a beautiful parabola.

It spans a distance of over 100 meters.

It landed on the bronze platform below.

The light illuminated Huanhuan as she looked up, gazing across the distance at Tianze, the source of the torch.

"Fire arrows!"

With just one glance, the white-armored general sensed a deadly crisis.

As a third-rate martial artist.

With all equipment in place.

They went to the battlefield.

Twenty or thirty people couldn't get close to him.

Although this record is a bit exaggerated, after all, most third-rate martial artists can only deal with a dozen or so people. If this person were replaced by armored soldiers, a standard squad of ten armored soldiers could take him down. With good coordination, no one might even die. His combat power seems to have collapsed.

In fact, it didn't collapse at all.

Fighting on the battlefield.

It's not about technique.

Rather, it's about defense.

It's a contest of who has greater strength.

It's a contest of whose defense is stronger.

It's a contest of endurance.

Therefore, unlike a sword that provides an attack bonus, a suit of armor that provides a defense bonus is often more helpful to soldiers.

Thus, a wonderful relationship of restraint was formed.

Take a third-rate martial artist as an example.

A third-rate martial artist who roams the martial world can't beat a standard squad of ten armored warriors, referring to the fact that the armored warriors themselves haven't mastered internal energy.

A third-rate martial artist who comes from a military background can kill a standard ten-man squad of military soldiers by himself. It usually takes two or three squads to work together to capture and kill this third-rate martial artist.

However, a third-rate martial artist who roams the martial world can easily defeat a third-rate martial artist who is originally an armored warrior in a one-on-one fight, and it is not impossible for him to even kill him, since wearing armor means that it is inconvenient to escape.

Three pillars.

Mutual restraint.

Therefore, in theory, with a third-rate martial artist like myself leading the team, there should be no shortage of rolling stones and heavy crossbows, and the white-armored soldiers under my command should be fully equipped and well-paid.

In a situation where one defends a strategically important location.

Use the high to attack the low.

There's no reason to be afraid of Tianze.

But for some reason, at that very glance, the white-armored general's intuition was frantically warning him that death was imminent.

However, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

There is no turning back now.

Whether it works or not, this is the only way to do it.

So the white-armored general gave the order with all his might, but unfortunately, in the face of overwhelming power, all fancy attacks were just paper tigers, something that could be easily torn apart.

Even someone as strong as Gai Nie would be seriously injured facing three hundred cavalrymen.

But it's important to understand that cavalry is cavalry, and infantry is infantry.

The mobility of cavalry is beyond question.

Same configuration.

Three hundred cavalrymen could even break through the formation of three thousand infantrymen.

He chased after three thousand infantrymen and hacked them down.

The most famous achievement was Zhang Liao leading 800 men to wipe out Sun Quan in one fell swoop. Regardless of whether Zhang Liao relied on snowball tactics or Sun Quan's abilities, this achievement alone demonstrates the deterrent power of cavalry, which cannot be measured by ordinary infantry.

Moreover, martial artists in the martial arts world are skilled in hit-and-run tactics.

Who wants to play that head-on charge game with you?
To put it bluntly, it is guerrilla warfare.

Therefore, after using internal force to drive the chains around the body.

It won't take long.

Tianze charged forward despite the resistance.

Then, the situation on the scene was naturally predictable.

Even with a geographical advantage, they couldn't hold their ground.

Having lost their geographical advantage, they were even less able to hold their ground.

Therefore, when Ye Qingcang, Yan Lingji, the Corpse-Driving Demon, and the Hundred Poison King arrived, all they saw was a bloody mess, with broken armor and weapons scattered haphazardly everywhere, a scene of Tianze venting his anger after escaping his predicament.

However, although some of the gas was released, it was only a portion of it.

The bulk of the profits still go to Bai Yifei.

"Okay, let's go."

Ye Qingcang shook his head and offered a reminder.

Tianze glanced at Ye Qingcang and nodded.

He's not the kind of person who won't listen to advice.

He will naturally accept what the other party says if it makes sense.

If Bai Yifei were to return and command the white-armored soldiers within the Blood-Clad Fortress, even if his strength had fully recovered, he would be utterly powerless against this force.

Even though Ye Qingcang and the others were there.

Work together.

There was no possibility of breaking out.

Once the number of soldiers exceeds a thousand, even a grandmaster would not dare to underestimate them. Moreover, the white-armored soldiers are not ordinary soldiers; many of them possess internal energy. Perhaps these white-armored soldiers do not possess much internal energy, and most of the squad leaders, platoon leaders, and centurions are only third-rate martial artists. But even ants can kill an elephant. Apart from martial artists at the Celestial Realm, it can be said that no one can withstand this kind of pressure.

Even masters have their own ways of dealing with this.

Slay the general and seize the flag.

Refer to Xiang Yu's fighting style.

This left the enemy forces leaderless.

But the question is, can Bai Yifei be beheaded at will?
He can't beat Bai Yifei!

This is very embarrassing!

However, it would be a lie to say that Bloodcloth Fortress had no reaction at all.

In the forbidden area.

A pair of eyes, shrouded in blood, suddenly opened.

Although the whites of his eyes were completely scarlet.

Full of murderous intent.

But my pupils are still clear.

A slight movement.

An inexplicable aura then spread out.

They directly pressed down on Tianze and the others.

It's worth mentioning that this is just momentum; it has nothing to do with internal strength.

Internal force acts directly on the body.

But an imposing manner only brings mental pressure.

In terms of control effectiveness, internal strength is definitely superior.

But in terms of the scope of influence, its momentum is even more prominent.

"interesting……"

The owner of these eyes said this.

Unfortunately, the forbidden area was completely deserted.

No one could hear her talking to herself.

But for Tianze, who had just killed all the prison guards...

There are also Yan Lingji, the Corpse-Driving Demon, and the Hundred Poison King who are by Tianze's side.

There is no doubt that they felt pressure.

Tianze turned around in shock.

He looked toward that forbidden area.

Before this, he had always dismissed it.

But the reality he is facing tells him that he is terribly wrong.

That forbidden area was not deserted.

Rather, it's because their cultivation level is too high.

He can't feel it.

Now, he can feel it.

But it seems it's still a bit late.

The fact that the other party could make him feel uneasy from such a distance, just by their aura, made him realize how strong they were.

"He must be a grandmaster!"

"There is no other possibility."

Tianze muttered to himself.

As for why it's a Grandmaster instead of a Celestial Realm expert, that brings us to the specific differences between the two. If it were a Grandmaster, he could at least escape, but if it were a Celestial Realm expert, he wouldn't even have the chance to escape; he'd be captured and brought back before he could even make a move. Furthermore, the war between Baiyue and Han back then wouldn't have needed to be fought. As soon as the other side made a move, Baiyue could have simply declared surrender. Even if they hadn't surrendered, the result would have been defeat and the royal family wiped out anyway, so surrendering would have at least allowed them to survive.

Including Ji Wuye.

Don't let his current domineering manner fool you.

They are not worth mentioning in front of a Celestial Realm martial artist.

Even if a martial artist at the Celestial Realm gets angry.

kill him.

No one dared to utter a single word of dissent.

If King Han could obtain the strong support of a Celestial Realm martial artist, even the Qin state would have to think twice before attacking Han.

To put it bluntly, a martial artist at the Celestial Realm comes with their own set of tactics.

This is a typical base-trading tactic.

No matter how many people you send to attack my country.

I won't care.

If my country can withstand it, then it will.

If you can't hold out, then perish.

In short, don't try to use this to control me.

But in this situation, I'll have to go to Xianyang to have a chat with you. If you're willing to listen, I'd be happy to see you issue the order to return to the capital. If you're not willing to listen, then I'll have no choice but to take your head and create internal strife for your Qin state.

The throne is a temptation for anyone.

Very few people can withstand it.

Those ambitious individuals will naturally vie for it.

Moreover, even if those ambitious individuals prioritize the country and abandon their internal strife, wouldn't it be fine if I just killed them all?

To put it another way, even if the King of Qin had stationed hundreds of thousands of troops around Xianyang, and I couldn't break through in a short time, let alone hundreds of thousands of people, even hundreds of thousands of pigs would take half a day to slaughter. But the problem is that although Xianyang is the current capital of Qin, it is not Qin's only city. To inflict heavy damage on Qin, it is not necessarily necessary to rely on assassinating the emperor.

They went directly to other places.

They assassinated prefects in various regions.

This prevented the King of Qin's orders from being implemented.

Surely the King of Qin couldn't possibly station hundreds of thousands of troops in every place?
Moreover, even if it's just a decoration.

All it takes is for a martial artist at the Celestial Realm to make a statement.

Inform the local officials.

Anyone who dares to do this, I'll kill them.

Don't worry about whether I'm a bully who preys on the weak or the strong.

That's just how the rules are.

If you're not afraid of death, come and give it a try.

What could the Qin state do?
Moreover, if they were to go even further, they could destroy various buildings and facilities. For example, they could find a dam, and at the time of the flood, they could cut it down, flooding all the cities and villages below, using the lives of these people as leverage to force the King of Qin to withdraw his troops.

Even if they could win on the main battlefield.

The entire back line collapsed.

In the end, they had no choice but to shake hands and make peace.

Unless the Qin state also has a Celestial Realm martial artist to help them.

It can keep another Celestial Realm martial artist in check.

Even if we can't win, we can at least stall them.

This is where the problem lies.

The strategy of exchanging bases means that as long as one is willing to give up something, no one in the world can rival one's ability to compete with it.

Even if Bai Qi were to be resurrected.

There's nothing we can do about such an inhuman being.

Of course, Sun Tzu might have a solution.

Because Sun Tzu was a martial artist at the Celestial Realm.

He can hold off the other party on his own.

He was, after all, a pioneer who established the art of military strategy.

Unlike Zhao Kuo, who was the strongest king.

Therefore, Tianze ruled out the possibility of being a Celestial Realm expert in an instant.

But even if he ruled out that possibility.

Even if he's right.

A person who exudes such an aura is indeed a master.

But even a grandmaster couldn't beat him!

However, just because Tianze and the others panicked doesn't mean Ye Qingcang panicked too.

Under the sudden gaze of Tianze and the others who turned around.

Ye Qingcang also unleashed an aura.

He directly retorted.

Forcibly dissipate the opponent's momentum.

"go!"

Ye Qingcang gave a low shout.

Then, he took out a cloak from his personal storage soul tool.

It was given to Tianze.

Then, he touched the ground with his feet.

His figure shot outwards like an arrow released from a bow.

Yan Lingji and the others simultaneously pulled up their cloaks.

Entering a state of optical invisibility.

Tianze also put on a cloak in a very professional manner.

Looking at himself, blending seamlessly into his surroundings, his pupils instantly contracted.

But now is not the time to be shocked.

He knew this very well.

And so, like a celestial being, he touched the ground with his feet.

Internal energy surged forth.

Chased after him.

Meanwhile, having just bid farewell to the Tide Demoness and left the city gates, Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei, who had not yet returned to Blood-Clad Fortress, was completely unaware of what had happened. He led his personal guards toward Blood-Clad Fortress.

When he arrived at his Bloodstained Fortress.

After seeing those severed limbs and broken arms.

Only then did they become aware of the situation.

He was also in a state of extreme anger.

However, upon hearing that the problem originated in the dungeon, Bai Yifei immediately became anxious. Without having time to question the others, he hurriedly headed towards the dungeon.

Continue straight ahead.

No one dared to stop them.

He only realized this after he saw that the dungeon where Tianze had been imprisoned was now empty.

His face finally darkened completely.

The air pressure is extremely low.

Until a message came from the forbidden area.

That's what made his complexion improve.

But ultimately it's still ugly.
