Chapter 190 Blood Sacrifice in Liangzhou City, Solitary Army Enters the Desert
That’s ten thousand people!

Even if we have to queue up, we will kill for a whole night!
"General Chen..."

Cao Zhi looked around and said incoherently: "Isn't he famous for his wisdom? What's going on..."

"I do not know."

Wang Zhi squinted his eyes, as if trying to see more clearly, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Well, Zhao Kang, come here!"

Zhao Kang, who happened to be not far away, heard the noise and rode over on horseback.

"Who is this?"

"This is His Majesty the Twelfth Prince!"

After Wang Zhi finished his introduction, he couldn't wait to ask, "What strategy did Sanshi use with you guys last night? Eight hundred people killed ten thousand people?!"

"Plan? There is no plan."

Zhao Kang showed the blood on his armor: "The strategy is to kill, sir, you are alone..."

Follow his eloquent talk.

Cao Zhi's eyebrows were raised and never lowered: "What did you say? General Chen, alone, killed three enemy generals in a row in the midst of thousands of troops, and then alone killed more than 4,000 enemies in the siege of 20,000 troops?! Are you kidding me?!"

"Your Highness, Prince of Yan, why would I lie to you?"

Zhao Kang said calmly: "The bodies are right here, and we only have 800 people. How can we fake it? It can't be that the barbarians killed themselves."

After confirming it again and again, Cao Zhi only felt a little tinnitus.

One arrow...

Kill Xuanxiang Dacheng?

The remaining two people were no match for him either.

When did he achieve the great perfection of the mysterious phenomenon?

The last time we met in Ziwei Mountain, we were both at a similar level.

Now, he has mastered the art of opening up the meridians.

Chen Sanshi has achieved the Great Completion of Mysterious Phenomenon? !
the most critical.

How could he kill thousands of people by himself without getting exhausted? !

Even if we put aside the enemy, there are still warriors of the same realm. No matter how powerful Xuan Xiang is, he will be exhausted after killing a thousand people at most. Four thousand people, that’s four thousand people, among whom there are many barbarian generals of various realms!

How can it be? !
Don't even mention being a warrior.

Even if he is not human!
According to Cao Zhi's understanding, even if an ordinary immortal from the world of immortal cultivation came, after killing more than a thousand people, all the magic power in his body would be used up. If he couldn't escape, he would die under the swords!

Four thousand people!
How did he do it? !

Taizu Cao Xie only broke through 2,000 armors back then. Although he was facing a martial saint, Chen Sanshi far surpassed this record in terms of numbers.

"Your Highness the Prince of Yan? Your Highness?"

Zhao Kang carefully reminded: "Since the army has arrived, let's quickly move into the front camp!"

Cao Zhi finally calmed down the turbulent waves in his heart and began to arrange for people to enter the barbarian camp, while at the same time transmitting the battle reports back to Liangzhou City as quickly as possible.

Outside the Chinese army's tent.

Chen Sanshi changed into a clean robe and was wiping his spear when he heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves and a familiar person leading the way in front of him.

He put down his spear, stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said, "I greet Your Highness. I wonder why Your Highness has come to visit me?"

"General Chen, why should you be polite to me?"

Cao Zhi hurriedly dismounted: "To be honest, I came here this time to experience some battles with the general, but when I heard about the general's amazing achievements, I was really impressed."

He pulled Chen Sanshi to a corner and said to him alone: ​​"Brother, to put it bluntly, I just want to get some military merit with you. You won't despise me, right? Don't worry, I won't hold you back."

"Your Highness, I am naturally honored to be here."

Chen Sanshi said perfunctorily.

It's inconvenient to do anything with a prince around.

But he had no way to drive it away, so what else could he say?
"Brother, you still treat me as an outsider!"

While Cao Zhi was talking, he was still looking him up and down, and couldn't help asking, "Brother, how did you kill him?"

Chen Sanshi asked: "How did you kill him?"

"Four thousand."

Cao Zhi stretched out his finger and said, "Brother, won't you run out of energy?"

Chen Sanshi said calmly: "Killing them is also laborious?"

"..."

Suddenly, Cao Zhi didn't know how to continue the conversation.

"Since you are here, why not come with me and consult on the subsequent advance plan."

Chen Sanshi said this and walked into the tent on his own.

He spread out the map in front of the main desk and ordered his men to call all the lieutenant generals and above.

Cao Zhi sat down next to him.

He ordered his personal guard to bring wine glasses, found a jar of unopened wine in the barn, and tasted it slowly: "Go, kill another sheep and roast it."

"Yes!"

"..."

Soon a fat sheep was roasted in the tent, and the aroma of meat filled the air.

"Your Highness Prince Yan really knows how to enjoy himself."

Chen Sanshi ignored the lamb leg handed to him and looked at the map intently: "What is the situation in Youzhou?"

"Not coming back so soon."

Cao Zhi only ate two small bites of the most tender part before stopping and said seriously, "According to the previous plan, within ten days, at least five battalions of troops will be mobilized from Liangzhou and its surrounding areas to rush to Youzhou for support from the safe area within the Great Wall.

"Now, General Chen, if you take Tiger Hill, it means you will have opened up a closer route to Youzhou, and you will have the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and go directly behind the barbarians outside the Great Wall of Youzhou. Of course, it will take two months."

"General, how do you think we should give advice to Liangzhou?"

When Chu Shixiong spoke again now, there was a bit more awe in his tone.

God of death!
Among the people present, he had the highest realm, so naturally he could see it clearly.

It snowed heavily last night.

The killer in white!
This lord is like a nobody in the midst of thousands of troops!

Kill the barbarians directly, and they won’t even dare to escape!
What is this concept? !

"..."

Chen Sanshi looked at the Luotian Mountains on the map. Without knowing the full picture, it was difficult for him to make a completely accurate decision.

After thinking about it, he said, "Write a letter to Liangzhou, saying that we hope they can transfer two more battalions of soldiers out of the Great Wall and come to Tiger Hill to join us, and then we can make plans."

"Okay, I'll write it myself."

Cao Zhi picked up the pen on the spot.

Before the grand strategy was decided, Chen Sanshi had no choice but to lead his troops to wait here. Fortunately, the barbarians had helped to set up the camp in advance, saving them a lot of trouble.

"call--"

"call--"

Just now.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew outside, making the tent rustle, as if it would be blown away at any time.

"What a strong wind!"

"Why is the wind so strong?"

"..."

Listening to the discussions outside.

Chen Sanshi put down the map and walked out of the tent.

The sky, which had just been clear, was once again covered with dark clouds, and an even heavier snowstorm came down, the extent of which was enough to affect the outcome of the subsequent battle.

"General Chen."

Cao Zhi, who was halfway through writing, came out and said, "With such heavy snow, there's no way to maintain the food supply, right?"

"Yes."

Chu Shixiong stared at the sky and said worriedly, "Why is it snowing so heavily?"

"If this continues, I'm afraid the war won't be fought."

Cao Zhi said: "General Chen, do you still want to stick to the original plan? Even if we can barely go deep into the snow, there will be no supplies later."

"Maybe..."

Chu Shixiong looked at the heavy snow and said, "This battle will be cancelled. We will all retreat back to Liangzhou City and only support Youzhou's defense from within the Great Wall. We will no longer take the initiative to attack. The northern expedition will probably have to wait until the beginning of next spring."

"It's really weird."

Cao Zhi muttered, "Could it be that the barbarians anticipated this heavy snowfall, so they went to attack Youzhou, knowing that we would not be able to advance our army deep into the country anyway?"

"continue!"

The two were discussing.

An unquestionable and majestic voice rang in my ears.

The man in white robes was standing in the snow, leaning on his spear, and gave an order: "Tell Liangzhou to send at least two battalions of soldiers to Tiger Hill, no matter what, and quickly!"

Cao Zhi is right.

This battle.

The reason why the barbarians dared to attack Youzhou so recklessly.

It’s not that they are not afraid of being attacked from both sides.

But...

They probably knew it a long time ago.

Dasheng’s army cannot get away from Liangzhou City!

The more this situation occurs, the more we need to mobilize troops out of the city as soon as possible and keep them on standby in case of emergency.

No matter what the enemy wants to do, we must not let him succeed!
No matter how high the price is!
And do we really just rely on this snow?

Chen Sanshi looked in the direction of Luotian Mountains and knew in his heart that it might not be the case!
I'm afraid there is a bigger plot.

Even Master and the others don’t know yet.

……

Agate River.

Barbarian stronghold.

A total of 50,000 soldiers from the Yuwen and Duan clans gathered here.

among them.

The martial saint of the Yuwen clan, the Khan's elder brother, the Left Wise King Yuwen Jingwen, was personally in charge of this place.

His nephew.

The ninth prince of Yuwen, Yuwen Xin, who recently returned from "studying abroad" in Dasheng, is also here.

"Xin'er!"

Yuwen Jingwen's rough voice was full of doting: "You really don't want to leave, you must stay here?"

"Don't go!"

Yuwen Xin was still wearing the clothes of the Sheng people. He sat on the big deerskin chair and said, "Fourth Uncle, I want to stay and wait for revenge!"

"Good! My nephew is really promising!" Yuwen Jingwen said with a smile: "Just wait, soon, no man, woman or child will be left alive in Liangzhou City, and your revenge will be avenged."

"I also want to capture Chen Sanshi alive!"

Prince Yuwen Ninth clenched his fist and said, "Then take back the Zhenyue Sword!"

"Nephew, you don't have to be so obsessed with it."

Yuwen Jingwen said in a deep voice: "Now it seems that it was not you who was careless back then, but that Chen Sanshi was not a simple person."

Talk about it.

The ninth prince Yuwen.

I first met Chen Sanshi in the Xihe tribe outside Poyang County.

At that time.

Chen Sanshi was still a little-known officer, a captain in a small county town's Qianhu Division.

As a result, it only took two or three years.

It will become famous all over the world.

Now he has been conferred the title of Earl and commands a battalion of soldiers.

All I can say is that his nephew was not wronged and it is good enough that he is still alive.

"Report——"

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"

Suddenly.

A soldier rushed into the tent and was so panicked that he stumbled and fell to the ground: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister!"

"Prime Minister?"

Yuwen Jingwen leaned forward and asked, "What happened to the Prime Minister?"

"Outside Tiger Hill, Chen Sanshi led 800 scouts, killed 10,000 of my soldiers, captured 10,000, and then captured the Prime Minister alive and sent him back to Liangzhou!"

"what?"

Yuwen Jingwen stood up and hurried to the soldiers: "Repeat what you just said."

"Your Majesty, it is..."

The soldiers tried their best to recount the entire process while breathing heavily.

Eight Hundred Scouts...

Annihilated the garrison at Tiger Hill?!
Tengger and Daryaqi died on the spot?!

Chen Sanshi killed thousands of enemies by himself? !
absurd!

This is too ridiculous!
"Your Majesty!"

"These are all the information we got from our friendly troops stationed nearby. They are definitely not wrong."

"..."

"He, a mysterious being, can kill thousands of people without being exhausted?!"

Yuwen Jingwen couldn't imagine it.

"I was!"

Prince Yuwen Jiu said: "There is not even a meridian around me. It seems that I am still the strongest!"

"This boy is a monster, even worse than Sun Xiangzong!"

Yuwen Jingwen gritted his teeth and said, "Dasheng is indeed a land of outstanding people. Sun Xiangzong is not dead yet, and another person like this has appeared!"

"Fourth Uncle!"

The Ninth Prince Yuwen Xin said, "What should we do? Should we send out a large army to rescue my Seventh Uncle?"

"It's too late. By the time we get there, my seventh brother will probably have been taken back to Liangzhou City."

Yuwen Jingwen closed his eyes: "And if we calculate the date, the Shamai Festival is about to begin. My seventh brother is in Liangzhou City, I'm afraid he is in danger..."

"what?"

Yuwen Xin asked, "Don't you want to think of a way? Just like me, rescue him through negotiation."

"There is no time! Everything should be based on the Great Sacrifice! The sacrifice of the Seventh Brother will be remembered by us, the Celestial Tribe."

Yuwen Jingwen's expression turned cold: "And with such a heavy snowstorm, I'm sure the Sheng people will withdraw their troops back to the south of the Great Wall soon, and then what awaits them is refining!
"There is a deep blood feud between our Celestial Clan and Liangzhou!
“There will be a result!”

……

The wolf lives in Xu Mountain.

"absurd!"

Yuwen Khan also received the news.

He nearly overturned the table in front of him.

As soon as the war started, the Yuwen tribe lost three generals!

The faces of the Khans of the other three tribes all showed a somewhat gloating expression.

"Don't be impatient!"

On the altar.

Black and red evil energy burst out from the hands of the Wushen Cult's high priest.

"The grand ceremony begins!"

"Everything will be over soon!"

……

Liangzhou.

Wangfu.

The Sixth Prince, Lu Ji, Fang Qingyun and several other generals waited again.

In a state of anxiety, Cao Huan finally received news from the front line.

"I don't know whether the king sent the army in time, whether they were able to meet General Chen, and what the situation is like at Tiger Hill?"

He thought to himself, opened the letter and read the battle report himself, then he was stunned.

"Your Highness?"

Seeing this reaction, Lu Ji said in a deep voice: "Is there something wrong?"

"Something happened, something serious!"

Cao Huan handed them the letter and said happily, "General Chen led 800 light cavalrymen to kill 10,000 enemy soldiers last night and captured Prime Minister Yuwen alive. Now, the 10,000 prisoners and Yuwen Chengzhao are on their way back!"

Hear the words.

Lu Ji hurriedly picked up the letter, his face showing a changing expression.

"It is said that General Chen is unrivaled in wisdom and strategy. Now it seems that he is also the most courageous among the three armies!"

Cao Huan was full of praise: "At present, he is second only to General Lu!"

"Yes, General Lu!"

"You two really are worthy of being fellow disciples."

"General Chen's wisdom is comparable to General Fang's, and his bravery is comparable to General Lu's!"

"This disciple of Superintendent Sun is truly extraordinary!"

"Beiliang will have nothing to worry about in the future with General Chen here!"

inside the house.

Many of them are veterans of the Northern Liang Army.

Their realm and status may not be high enough, but each of them is a general who has led troops for many years, has many people under him, and has a very high prestige in the army.

Listen to what they say.

Lu Ji's gaze became increasingly profound.

"Tiger Hill has been decided."

Third Senior Brother Nie Yuan said: "But the snow is getting heavier and heavier. What should we do next?"

"According to common sense, with such a heavy snowstorm, the entire army should be withdrawn and try to mobilize troops to defend Youzhou instead of attacking."

Cao Huan said anxiously, "But General Chen said in his letter that he hopes we can send two more battalions out of the city. But won't we be unable to get enough food and grass?"

war.

It has always been the case that food and fodder must be sent ahead of troops.

Under no circumstances should we rashly send out troops if we are unable to maintain logistical supplies.

“There’s something wrong with this snow.”

Fang Qingyun pushed his wheelchair to the door and looked at the heavy snow in the yard: "Six months before the war, I paid attention to the celestial phenomena day and night, but I didn't notice this heavy snow.

"It feels like it was deliberately created by the barbarians to block our advance and make it easier for them to attack Youzhou. It's weird everywhere.

“I share the same view as General Chen.

"The more this happens, the less they will get what they want!
"Even if we are unable to march north on a large scale due to celestial phenomena in the short term, we must not hide in the city and wait for death. We should select two battalions of soldiers to leave the city and take a shortcut to Youzhou."

"I agree."

Lü Ji took over the conversation and said, "Liangzhou and Youzhou are separated by the Luotian Mountains. Now the road is blocked by heavy snow. Even if we take the shortcut outside the Great Wall, we may not be able to get there in time, let alone take the route inside the Great Wall.

"How about I lead the Black Tortoise and White Tiger Battalions north out of the Great Wall and go to Tiger Hill to join General Chen first. Then the three battalions will go directly to Youzhou and try to arrive to provide support within a month."

"Um……"

Cao Huan pondered and said, "Where are the food and grass? Also, General Lu, aren't you afraid that this is a plan of the barbarians and we will be ambushed on the way to Youzhou?"

"One month's food and fodder is enough."

Lu Ji said in a deep voice: "As for the ambush, if there really is an ambush, then we should break it!"

"Great! As expected of 'Fiery among horses, Lu Ji among men'!"

Cao Huan made up his mind and said, "I trust your judgment! Just follow the advice of the generals. Xuanwu Camp and Baihu Camp should carry 30 days' worth of food and grass and march northwards from the Great Wall immediately!"

"The last general takes command!"

Lu Ji clasped his fists and left in a hurry.

Third senior brother Nie Yuan followed closely behind.

He said softly: "Our junior brother is too evil. The battle of Tiger Hill will soon spread throughout Liang Province. By then, the entire Northern Liang Army will know about his bravery. Those veterans just now obviously admired him.

"Well, so we can't wait any longer. We have to fight two tough battles."

Lu Ji's armor clashed as he walked: "I want to take first place in this battle in the northern border. If possible, I want to be the commander-in-chief. Only in this way can I protect my fellow apprentices."

"That's what Eldest Brother said."

"I just don't know, for such a big matter, will the master really not come out to take charge of the situation?"

……

Luotian Mountains.

Twelve mountains.

At the core.

Under the main peak, an altar stands tall, murderous aura rises into the sky, and formation patterns rise high.

One after another, black-robed monks, holding vajra in their hands, stood in specific positions, controlling the deployment of the formation. The evil veins under the earth revived, and the majestic evil spirit spread towards the sky and earth like an ocean with the Twelve Mountains as the center.

The evil energy changes the celestial phenomena!
This causes the temperature in the northern desert to continue to drop.

The entire evil vein starts from Luotian in the south and ends at Langjuxu in the north, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. Wherever it passes, there are heavy snowstorms. The Luotian Mountains look like a series of snow-capped mountains.

On the altar.

There were also several cultivators from the ancient demon clan in the world of cultivating immortals. They relied on the evil spirit to cultivate, and their bodies were filled with a sinister murderous aura. Under the erosion of the evil spirit, black blood vessels spread on their faces, like spider webs covering their faces, and their eyes were extremely blood red.

"My fellow immortal masters!"

"The formation is complete!"

"..."

The leader of the Wushen Cult, Ild, appeared: "Do you want to start?"

"Don't worry."

The leader of the monks was a young man holding a sword. He looked to be no more than 20 years old, but his blood-red eyes showed a vicissitude that did not match his age. "The guests haven't arrived yet."

"Master Deng, in my opinion, there is nothing Sun can do about it."

Ild sneered: "Otherwise, he would have come a long time ago."

"Ah."

Master Deng said, "Let's get started."

The words have not yet fallen.

A silver dragon descended from the sky.

Immortal Master Deng and several ancient demon monks had already made preparations. The five of them took out their magic weapons at the same time, and when they started to act, the altar formation mobilized the murderous aura of the ancestral vein to add strength to it, and it suddenly turned into a black evil dragon.

"Rumble--"

After the collision.

The black dragon collapsed.

But the silver dragon also flew backwards.

Finally, it fell into the hands of a centenarian who suddenly appeared.

Next to him, there was another old Taoist wearing a Taoist robe.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of Dasheng!"

The leader of the Wushen Cult, Ilder, asked in a gloomy tone, "It seems that the longevity pill is quite effective. We are very happy to cooperate with each other."

"Iled!"

Cao Kai turned a deaf ear to him and just accused him, "Ilede, how dare you collude with the demons in the cultivation world, practice magic skills, and try to revive the evil veins. Do you know that after the evil veins are revived, the demons will flood into the human world and destroy all living things!"

"So what?!"

Iled sneered and said, "My Wushen Cult was originally founded by an ancient demon in ancient times. We are just acknowledging our ancestors and returning to our roots. When the time comes, you will all be nourishment for my Celestial Clan!"

"I'll give you a chance."

Sun Xiangzong said quietly: "Go back to your hometown, I will only destroy your evil veins, not your lives."

"Sun Xiangzong, you are too arrogant!"

Master Deng said in a hoarse voice: "It would be better to save your life and hide away to catch your breath for two more years!"

"Since you know that I don't have much time left, you should cherish your lives even more."

Sun Xiangzong spread out his palm, and a spirit bead engraved with the Great Spirit Extermination Formation appeared. Waves of vast mana gradually erupted: "I am not afraid of the backlash brought by the evil spirit."

"Soul-annihilating formation?"

Master Deng saw through the clue and said, "No wonder you didn't come to deal with the evil veins for so many years, and only came here today. It turns out that you went around looking for ways to charge the Soul-Exterminating Array."

That's why.

They did not wait for the evil vein to revive naturally over a long period of time, but instead set up a blood sacrifice formation to stimulate it in advance.

Both sides are racing against time!
The ancient demon clan wants to revive the evil veins before Sun Xiangzong finds the soul-destroying formation that seals the evil veins.

In the end, they collided.

"Sun Xiangzong!"

Immortal Master Deng held up the magic flying sword and stood in the air: "Do you think that you are the only one who has the formation left by the powerful? If you want to destroy the evil vein, destroy the blood sacrifice formation first!"

"Start the formation!"

He gave the order.

Next to him, Ild immediately embedded the vajra, a magical weapon obtained from the ancient demon tribe, into the groove of the altar.

It contains the blood of hundreds of thousands of people in Yunzhou in ten days, plus the blood essence of warriors slowly collected over the years, which has been preserved through magic tools. At this moment, all of them are injected into the altar, and then a layer of scarlet formation is superimposed on the original revival formation. They use the evil veins buried deep underground as their energy source, and they expand and strengthen unscrupulously until a column of light condensed from blood-red evil spirit shoots up into the sky, and the evil spirit slowly unfolds above the dome, like a blood-red curtain slowly opening above the sky.

Enchantment!

"Buzz!"

Under this barrier.

The spirit pearl went out.

It fell back into Sun Xiangzong's hands.

The soul-destroying formation has failed!

All things are interdependent and mutually exclusive, and formations are no exception!
Cao Kai nodded and said, "Affected by this formation?"

"Yes, thanks to your majesty."

Sun Xiangzong had to temporarily put away the spirit beads: "Hundreds of thousands of people in Yunzhou have their essence and blood here, plus the evil veins as a supply of mana, to form this blood sacrifice formation. If you want to activate the soul-destroying formation, you must first destroy the blood sacrifice formation."

"Blood Sacrifice Formation."

Emperor Longqing asked: "What is the purpose of this formation, to protect the evil vein?"

“More than that?!”

The leader of the Wushen Cult explained his doubts with a grim smile: "After the blood sacrifice formation is formed, the scope will directly cover the entire Liangzhou. By then, the five million people in this city will be transformed into nutrients for the evil vein!"

"evil creature!"

Cao Kai's Taoist robe fluttered, and the Longyuan Sword hummed out: "I will destroy this formation!"

"By you?!"

Immortal Master Deng led several ancient demon monks and rushed forward to engage in a battle with the enemy. The sword energy was as sharp as a tornado, which frightened countless birds and beasts in the mountains and forests and made them flee in panic.

The leader of the Wushen Cult, Ilder, held a copper bell in his hand and rang it gently, and gave an order to someone unknown: "Why don't you do it?"

"boom!"

On both sides of the woods.

Each of them rushed out with a figure.

One of them held a long sword.

One of them held two swords.

It was Shao Yujing and Wen Zhi who were controlled by the poisonous insect. They rushed towards the old commander who was holding a spear, one on the left and one on the right.

One is a human swordsman.

One of them is the dual-sword martial saint.

In the ordinary world, they are all people who have reached the pinnacle of martial arts.

"It turns out that he was controlled by a poisonous insect."

As Sun Xiangzong spoke, waves of true energy burst out of his body.

"Boom!"

Under the tremendous force, the ground within a ten-foot radius collapsed and cracked under the air wave, sand and stones flew everywhere, and dust filled the sky, blocking everyone's vision, and no one could see clearly what was happening.

……

"My son!"

"My son!"

Wen Zhi fell into a huge and terrifying nightmare.

He could not control his own body and watched himself take out the pestle and smash his son's heart. Not long after, he was about to attack his daughter, but was stopped by a spear.

Chen Sanshi!
The enemy who killed his eldest son saved his daughter.

Then, Wen Zhi lost consciousness.

until now.

Only then did I wake up again.

'what happened? ’

Wen Zhi saw that he was holding two knives in his hands and his body was covered in blood.

'I……'

'Who did I kill again?!'

He slowly raised his head and saw an old face with white hair.

"Commander-in-Chief Sun?!"

"I killed Commander Sun?!"

"Cough cough cough..."

A few coughs broke Wen Zhi's fantasy.

Only then did he see that his double swords and Shao Yujing's sword had not penetrated the old commander's body at all, but were only separated by a layer of protective energy, unable to advance an inch.

"Okay, who can you two kill with your might?"

Sun Xiangzong let the two of them chop him with their weapons, and took out two pills slowly and swallowed them: "Hurry up and get out of here. I have used my last Spirit Purification Talisman on you. If you don't kill the Mother Gu in the hands of the Wushen Cult Leader quickly, you will still be unable to break free from his control."

"This……"

Wen Zhi trembled as he retracted his two swords: "Commander-in-chief, thank you very much, Commander-in-chief Sun, for your help!"

Sun Xiangzong ignored the two of them and rushed towards the altar in a flash. With the roar of the silver dragon in his hand, several followers of the Wushen sect were killed in a bloody massacre. In the blink of an eye, only three or five people were left alive.

The leader of the Wushen Cult made hand gestures and cast a spell, and his hands turned into blood-red claws.

However, he was no match.

He was wounded and fled after just two rounds.

the other side.

Cao Kai also killed several of them in succession and captured a demon cultivator alive.

"Fairy?!"

"You are all immortals?!"

Wen Zhi and Shao Yujing found it hard to accept.

"You two, why don't you help quickly?!"

Cao Kai scolded coldly, then flew on his sword and headed straight for the remaining demon cultivators.

See this.

Wen Zhi and Shao Yujing did not just watch anymore. One went up to help while the other went to control the captured ancient demon cultivator.

"Rumble--"

After defeating the leader of the Witch God.

No one can stop it anymore.

A silver dragon descended from the sky, and with its surging true power, it tore through the black evil spirit and smashed the altar.

however……

The blood sacrifice formation in the sky did not stop!
This is not the real center of the formation!

For the first time, a trace of solemnity flashed across Sun Xiangzong's old face.

"The surname Sun!"

far away.

The Wushen Cult leader showed a triumphant smile: "You fell into the trap!"

Sun Xiangzong took out the spirit bead, sensed the distribution of this evil vein, and checked the array patterns left on the altar. He soon figured out the operating principle of the so-called blood sacrifice array.

This place is the source of the evil vein.

The real eye of the formation should be at the end of the evil vein, which is the barbarian capital...Langjuxu Mountain!
"Cao Kai, I leave this place to you!"

Sun Xiangzong didn't say a word and was about to fly away and leave Liangzhou. However, there was a barrier above the sky that blocked him, and even he couldn't break it by force.

"Don't bother!"

Immortal Master Deng said sarcastically: "Since you are here, don't even think about leaving. From this moment on, no living creature can pass through Liangzhou!"

This was their conspiracy.

There are a total of three array centers in this blood sacrifice formation, two main and one auxiliary, which just correspond to the three most important positions of the evil veins. They echo each other and can continuously draw energy from the evil veins to complete the blood sacrifice formation.

No matter how powerful Sun Xiangzong is, he can only destroy one place.

The other two formation points can continue to function.

"Om-"

Cao Kai flew high into the sky and slashed down with his sword, but it also failed to shake the enemy at all.

He looked at the supervisor: "What should I do?"

"The auxiliary array's center is in the east, in the direction of Youzhou."

Sun Xiangzong narrowed his eyes.

He did not participate in the battle personally, but used the last of his energy to deal with the strange phenomena in the Luotian Mountains. However, he did not completely ignore the intelligence from the front line.

No wonder the barbarians used their troops abnormally and mainly attacked Youzhou.

There.

It is the auxiliary array eye.

It is also the door to life!
As long as the auxiliary array eye is destroyed, a door to life can be opened.

Everything in the world has its weaknesses, and formations are no exception. This life gate is one of the weaknesses of the blood sacrifice formation.

As long as the barbarians can firmly control the key points of the formation on the border of Youzhou, no one will be able to escape.

And Sun Xiangzong speculated.

At this point in time...

Youzhou has been broken!

To be precise, a hole was torn open.

The barbarians' target is not Youzhou, but Zhutuo Pass on the border of Youzhou!
"Cough cough cough..."

Sun Xiangzong coughed a few times, took a large amount of pills again to maintain his condition, and gave Emperor Longqing the best solution: "Either send someone to Zhutuo Pass to find the escape route, or go to Langjuxu Mountain and destroy the other main formation eye."

The core of the formation here has been destroyed.

If the two main array eyes could be destroyed, the array would no longer be able to operate with only one auxiliary array eye.

"Langjuxu Mountain?"

Cao Kai's eyes twitched imperceptibly: "That is the capital of the barbarians, ten thousand miles away from here."

When he mobilized his troops to march north this time, he never thought of reaching Yinshan Mountain. His greatest hope was to conquer the area around the Agate River and use it to train war horses for Dasheng in the future.

Wolf Mountain...

A bit too far away
"Let's deal with these guys first!"

Cao Kai was furious and drew his sword to kill the Witch God Sect Leader, Master Deng and others.

"We dare to come here, so we must have something to rely on!"

Immortal Master Deng waved his hands, and battle flags appeared in front of him, falling beside the last few people alive, and then a barrier appeared and enveloped them.

After several attempts.

Emperor Longqing felt that this barrier was vaguely integrated with the blood formation above the sky.

"Don't waste your efforts!"

Immortal Master Deng grinned and said, "Unless the blood sacrifice formation is broken first, otherwise, this barrier will not be broken!"

They directly borrowed the power of the ancestral vein of evil spirit, which could not be compared with low-level formations.

at the same time.

On top of their heads.

The blood sacrifice formation condensed into a black and red vortex above the dome, and billowing scarlet blood mist floated out. Thousands of feet in the sky, an alien eagle, the moment it came into contact with the blood mist, its flesh and blood, along with its skeleton, turned into blood water, which was completely absorbed by the formation and turned into nutrients to revive its evil veins.

Wait until the blood mist descends from above and fills the sky and the earth.

In Liangzhou City, both humans and animals will be sacrificed and all lives will be destroyed!
"Cough cough cough..."

Sun Xiangzong's cough became more and more severe, so he had to sit cross-legged on the ground and practice qigong to recuperate.

"The gate of life, the gate of life."

Emperor Longqing kept muttering: "I cannot die here, and it is impossible for me to die here. Since there is a way out, I can definitely open it and take over Youzhou."

"Chirp—"

He called Haidongqing, took out paper and pen from his storage bag, and was about to give orders to the front.

See this.

The leader of the Wushen Cult who was hiding in the barrier laughed, "Cao Kai! Are you confused?! The barrier is already sealed, what can your army take to get out?!"

This is exactly what Emperor Longqing was worried about.

According to the original plan, there were only 800 light cavalry outside at this time!
It was simply too late to transfer troops from other places to Youzhou.

"Haha~"

Under such a serious situation, Sun Xiangzong, who was sitting cross-legged to recuperate, actually sneered.

"Zizhan, why are you sneering?"

Emperor Longqing said: "If we cannot leave this place, both you and I will die here."

"I am laughing at the fact that the emperor who hides on the dragon throne in the capital and controls the life and death of others can also panic. It can be said that he brought this upon himself! How hateful..."

Sun Xiangzong suddenly emphasized his tone: "It's so hateful that you, a person who is greedy for life and committing evil, will cause millions of people in Liangzhou to die with you! Cao Kai, you will never be reborn!"

"The ten days in Yunzhou have nothing to do with me."

Emperor Longqing was not angry. After writing the letter, he let Hai Dongqing take it away. Feeling the Longyuan sword in his hand, his eyes gradually became deep.

There is still half of the country in the Longyuan Sword!

……

In Liangzhou city.

"Look!"

"Look, what's in the sky?!"

"..."

Such a huge phenomenon could be seen clearly not only in Liangzhou but also in the surrounding prefectures.

Above the Luotian Mountains.

Amidst the dark clouds, a pitch-black vortex suddenly appeared, and bursts of strange blood-red mist fell from it, covering the entire sky. It was like a huge blood-red bell, trapping countless lives inside.

"what happened?!"

"..."

The edge of the Great Wall.

The Sixth Prince Cao Huan, Fang Qingyun, and several veteran generals came in person to see off the Xuanwu Camp and the White Tiger Camp.

It was shortly after the two battalions of troops left.

A blood-red wall of fog appeared between heaven and earth, its edge about two miles away from the Great Wall.

"This……"

"What kind of magic is this?!"

Cao Huan said nervously, "Quick, go and take a look!"

A soldier rode to the edge of the fog wall and, out of curiosity, stretched out his arm to touch it.

"Bah!"

"what--"

In an instant.

The soldier's arm turned into blood and he fell to the ground, wailing and struggling.

"what?!"

On the city wall, everyone who witnessed this scene was horrified.

"It's a barrier."

Fang Qingyun is a man of broad knowledge after all: "We must be trapped."

"Trapped? What do you mean?"

Cao Huan couldn't understand: "This blood mist can trap millions of people in Liangzhou?!"

"Chirp—"

A Saker Falcon flew over.

He hastily took down the letter.

"Father?"

Cao Huan looked at the extremely familiar handwriting and recognized it as his father's handwriting: "Father is in Liangzhou? When did he come?"

Look down again.

The content is extremely horrifying.

Summarize briefly.

If they cannot rush to Youzhou and find the special altar in the Luotian Mountains within the limited time, all the millions of soldiers and civilians in Liangzhou City will...

Turn into blood!
Just like the soldier just now!
"what!"

The screams continued.

The soldier fell off his horse in pain. Even though only his arm was stained with the blood mist, the rest of his body was melting quickly, spreading like a plague, and soon the whole person was gone!

Evaporated!

Really disappeared from the face of the earth!
"Youzhou!"

Everything before his eyes was so bizarre that ordinary people could not understand the reasons, but Cao Huan knew that if he wanted to survive and protect Liangzhou City, he could only do as his father said.

"quick!"

"Mobilize all troops..."

Halfway through the sentence.

He suddenly froze.

Because he realized.

Where can I get out!

There were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Liangzhou City, and most of them were trapped in the city.

Now outside the Great Wall.

There were only Chen Sanshi and Lu Ji leading three battalions of troops, while the barbarians had a total of 150,000 troops in Youzhou!
