Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 360 Capture Duobao!
Qu Ying looked around vigilantly and found that the warning formation outside the camp did not give any warning, which made her even more confused.

"Is there something wrong with the formation?"

She thought to herself, her brows furrowed.

The night breeze blew the strands of hair on her forehead, making her face look even colder.

She immediately sent a message to Nangong Shi:
"General, I feel a powerful aura approaching the camp, but the warning formation has no reaction. The situation is a bit abnormal. Please strengthen the vigilance."

After receiving the message, Nangong Shi immediately ordered to intensify patrols and personally led a team to inspect the camp to check for any suspicious areas.

At the same time, Qu Ying quietly activated a concealment formation to cover up her own aura. This formation was improved by her based on the ancient secret method. It can perfectly blend into the surrounding environment and is difficult to detect even for immortals with profound cultivation.

Sensing that the breath was getting closer, Qu Ying held her breath, lightened her steps, and quietly sneaked towards the source of the breath.

She was as light as an elf in the night, moving between the tents without making any sound.

In the distance, the footsteps and the clash of armor of patrolling soldiers could be clearly heard, forming a sharp contrast with the silent night.

Finally, in a hidden forest, Qu Ying discovered the figure of Taoist Duobao.

Taoist Duobao was wearing a yellow Taoist robe and holding a whisk. He had his back to her and seemed to be investigating the strength of the Xiqi camp.

The moonlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and fell on Taoist Duobao, outlining his slightly bloated figure.

Qu Ying did not show up rashly, but continued to hide and observe Duobao Taoist's every move.

The woods were quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the footsteps of patrolling soldiers in the distance.

Qu Ying held her breath and concentrated, fearing to alarm Taoist Duobao. She observed for a moment and found that Taoist Duobao was holding a jade ring in his hand and muttering something, as if he was using some secret technique to explore the formation.

The jade ring emits a faint green light, which is particularly eye-catching in the night.

She suddenly realized that Taoist Duobao was probably investigating the defensive formation she had set up, so she immediately changed several key points of the formation to disrupt Taoist Duobao's investigation.

As she pinched her fingertips, several energy waves invisible to the naked eye quietly spread out and merged into the surrounding formation.

The air in the woods seemed to freeze and become even quieter.

Taoist Duobao noticed the change in the formation, his face changed slightly, and he stopped casting the spell. The jade ring in his hand flickered, then dimmed, and finally went dark.

He looked around, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes, as if he noticed someone watching him secretly. The rustling of leaves sounded to him like the sound of an enemy lurking in the dark.

He snorted coldly and waved his whisk. A powerful gust of air swept out, rustling the surrounding leaves.

"Who is it? You are hiding in the dark, why don't you show yourself up now!"

His voice was deep and rich, with a hint of anger, and it echoed in the woods.

Seeing that her whereabouts were exposed, Qu Ying no longer hid. She walked out of the woods and confronted Taoist Duobao.

She walked slowly out of the woods, the moonlight shining on her, reflecting her cold face and determined eyes, which formed a sharp contrast with Duobao Taoist.

"Master Duobao, how are you?"

When Taoist Duobao saw Qu Ying, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he sneered:
"So it's you, young man. I was wondering who was so bold as to spy on my actions."

He looked Qu Ying up and down, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

"I didn't expect you to be able to find this place. It seems that your attainments in formations are higher than I thought."

Qu Ying smiled slightly, not moved by Taoist Duobao's contempt, she retorted:

"Master Duobao, why are you sneaking around Xiqi camp instead of staying in the camp? What are you doing here?"

As she spoke, she took a step forward and gently waved the flag in her hand. An invisible force flowed around her, as if it could launch an attack at any time.

Taoist Duobao's face darkened when he saw this. He snorted coldly:
"Junior, don't be so arrogant!"

As he spoke, he waved his whisk and a strong gust of wind swept towards Qu Ying.

Qu Ying did not dodge or evade. She waved the formation flag in her hand, and a light golden light curtain appeared in front of her, blocking all the strong winds.

Seeing that his attack was blocked, a hint of surprise flashed in Duobao Taoist's eyes, and then he snorted coldly and sacrificed his magic weapon - the Golden Mirror.

The golden mirror was suspended in the air, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the entire forest.

"Youngster, take this!"

Taoist Duobao shouted loudly, and the golden mirror shone brightly. A dazzling golden light shot towards Qu Ying. The golden light was extremely fast, like lightning, and it carried a momentum that could destroy the world.

The surrounding trees withered and turned into ashes in an instant under the golden light.

Qu Ying's face was solemn and she did not dare to be careless. She waved the formation flag and mobilized the power of the formation for defense.

A huge Tai Chi pattern emerged under her feet, enveloping her. The Tai Chi pattern slowly rotated, and the yin and yang energies circulated, forming an indestructible defensive barrier.

The golden light bombarded the Tai Chi pattern, making a deafening sound and shining brightly. The surrounding trees were shaken violently and leaves fell one after another.

The Tai Chi pattern trembled violently but did not break, successfully resisting the attack of the golden light.

Taoist Duobao's face became even gloomier when he saw this. He didn't expect Qu Ying's formation to be so powerful that it could withstand the attack of the Golden Mirror.

He took a deep breath and activated the golden mirror again. The golden mirror shone even brighter, and rays of golden light shot towards Qu Ying like raindrops.

Qu Ying responded calmly, waving the formation flag in his hand. The Tai Chi pattern rotated faster, and the flow of Yin and Yang Qi also increased, forming whirlpools that swallowed up all the golden light.

The two of them exchanged spells, and it was difficult to tell who would win for a while.

Seeing that he could not take the city after a long attack, Taoist Duobao changed his strategy and tried to lure Qu Ying out of the range of the formation.

"Young man, your formation does have some tricks, but you are just a trapped beast after all. As long as you leave the formation, I can easily capture you!"

Taoist Duobao retreated as he spoke, as if trying to lure Qu Ying into chasing him.

Qu Ying saw through Taoist Duobao's plan at a glance and sneered in her heart:
"Do you think I'll fall for your trick?"

On the surface, he took advantage of the enemy's trick and pretended to fall into the trap, then chased after Taoist Duobao.

Taoist Duobao was secretly delighted when he saw this. He thought Qu Ying had really been fooled, and a hint of pride appeared on his face.

"Young man, you are still too young after all!"

He said, turning and flying towards the pre-set trap.

Qu Ying followed closely behind, catching up slowly, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of her mouth, as if everything was under her control.

Taoist Duobao came near the trap, stopped, turned around, and looked at Qu Ying who was chasing him with a ferocious smile on his face.

But at this moment, the ground suddenly shook, and a hidden formation appeared under Duobao Taoist's feet. He was caught off guard and fell directly into it.

This formation was exactly the "Unstable Wind Wave Formation" that Qu Ying had arranged in advance, which could capture it directly.

"Ah? What's going on?!"

Taoist Duobao cried out in surprise, and suddenly pillars of green light rose up from under his feet, trapping him in them. A strong wind suddenly arose, sand and rocks flew everywhere, covering the sky and the sun. He waved his whisk, trying to break out of the formation, but found that the formation was unpredictable and difficult to grasp.

Qu Ying raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a hint of sneer:
"Master Duobao, you have come to this day!"

She waved the flag in her hand, the power of the formation increased, and the mysterious energy surged more violently.

Taoist Duobao's body swayed, his robes fluttered, he staggered a few steps and almost fell, his face instantly turned gloomy and looked surprised.

"Young man, how dare you plot against me!"

Taoist Duobao roared and summoned the golden mirror.

The golden mirror was suspended in the air, emitting golden light, trying to break through the constraints of the formation.

However, as soon as the golden light touched the edge of the formation, it was bounced back by an invisible force and was unable to break through the defense of the formation.

Seeing that he was still trying to resist, Qu Ying waved the formation flag again, and the mysterious power cut through Duobao Taoist's body like a blade, tearing his robe and leaving bloody marks.

"what!"

Taoist Duobao cried out in pain, realizing that he had underestimated Qu Ying's attainments in formations. He took a deep breath, endured the pain, and began to play formations against her.

After all, Duobao Taoist was an expert of the Jiejiao sect, and his attainments in formations were extraordinary. He quickly stabilized his body, waving the whisk in his hand, and rays of golden light shot out, colliding with the mysterious power of the Unstable Wind Wave Formation, making bursts of roars.

For a while, he was in a stalemate with Qu Ying.

Seeing that Taoist Duobao was resisting stubbornly, Qu Ying no longer held back and used all her strength to activate the formation.

The power of the Unstable Wind Wave Array increased suddenly. For a moment, the sky was dark, the sun and the moon lost their light, and the space in the array was distorted and deformed, as if it wanted to completely swallow the opponent.

At the same time, Qu Ying floated into the center of the formation, his clothes fluttering, his expression stern, and he waved the formation flag in his hand, controlling the changes of the formation.

Every flag signal contains the ultimate truth of heaven and earth and draws violent energy.

Taoist Duobao was trapped in the formation, unable to resist. He waved his whisk, golden light flashed, but it was like a drop in the ocean, unable to shake the foundation of the formation.

After a while, his face became paler and paler, beads of sweat the size of beans oozed out of his forehead, and his clothes were torn by the strong wind, revealing streaks of blood. His magic power was consumed at a much faster rate than expected, and it was almost exhausted in a short time.

"Damn it!"

Taoist Duobao cursed inwardly, realizing that he had underestimated his enemy. He did not expect Qu Ying's attainments in formations to be so profound that he could force him into such a situation.

He gritted his teeth and activated the golden mirror again, trying to make a last attempt.

wow——

The next moment, the golden mirror shone brightly, and a brilliant golden light shot up into the sky, trying to tear apart the shackles of the formation.

However, the golden light disappeared without a trace as soon as it touched the edge of the formation, without causing any ripples.

Taoist Duobao's expression changed completely. His body was covered with wounds and his magic power was almost exhausted. He knew that he was powerless to save the situation, so he put down his whisk dejectedly.

Seeing that he had given up, Qu Ying stopped her strength and gently waved the formation flag in her hand. A ray of golden light shot out and tied him up.

Looking at Duobao Taoist who was trapped in the formation, Qu Ying's eyes did not waver at all. She slowly walked up to Duobao Taoist, looked down at him, and said in a cold tone:

"Master Duobao, do you have anything else to say?"

Taoist Duobao struggled to raise his head and looked at Qu Ying, his eyes filled with resentment and resentment:

"Young man, how dare you treat me like this? I, Jiejiao, will never let you go!"

Qu Ying sneered:
"The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit. Taoist Duobao, you are not as skilled as others, so what qualifications do you have to shout here?"

She paused, her tone becoming even colder.

"You have been captured now. Whether you live or die depends on my decision."

Taoist Duobao turned even paler when he heard this. He was silent for a moment, and finally sighed:
"That's all. The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. You can kill me or chop me up. It's all up to you."

He closed his eyes, looking resigned to his fate.

Qu Ying did not take action immediately, but turned around and said to the soldiers behind him:

"Take him back to the camp and keep him under strict guard."

Two soldiers stepped forward and took Duobao Taoist away. Qu Ying looked at Duobao Taoist's departing back, with a complicated light flashing in her eyes.

Her capture of Duobao Taoist was undoubtedly a huge victory for Xiqi, but it also meant that it would face a stronger counterattack from Jiejiao in the future.

"This is the world of great strife!"

After a brief sigh, Qu Ying came back to his senses and without staying for too long, he immediately returned to the Xiqi camp.

After returning to the camp, she immediately informed Nangong Shi of the news that Taoist Duobao had been captured.

Nangong Shi was discussing military intelligence with his generals in the tent. When he heard the messenger's report, he quickly stood up to greet him.

"Fairy, you're back!"

When Nangong Shi saw Qu Ying return safely, a happy smile appeared on his face and he asked hurriedly.

"How's it going?"

Qu Ying bowed and said:
"I won by chance. Taoist Duobao has been captured by me."

Nangong Shi was overjoyed when he heard this. He patted Qu Ying's shoulder excitedly and said:
"Great! The fairy is really Xiqi's lucky star! Now, Chonghouhu is trapped in a jar, unable to escape!"

He immediately issued orders, summoned all the generals, and prepared to launch a general attack on Chongcheng.

When Chong Houhu learned the news that Taoist Duobao had been captured, he was suddenly struck by lightning. He could never have imagined that the helper he had invited would be captured alive by Qu Ying.

He slumped in his chair, his face pale, his whole body trembling, his heart filled with fear and despair.

"It's over, it's over..."

He muttered to himself, the light gone from his eyes.

Seeing this, a general stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, now that things have come to this, we must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, otherwise the Xiqi army will soon break through the city."

Chonghouhu raised his head and looked at the general, with a trace of struggle in his eyes. Finally, he waved his hand weakly and said:
"Pass the order down, all troops prepare for battle, get ready to meet the enemy!"

He knew that the situation was hopeless and even if he fought to the death, it would be difficult to reverse the outcome. However, as the Marquis of Beibo, he had to make a final resistance for his people and his city.

Outside Chongcheng, the Xiqi army's flags were flying, war drums were thundering, and shouts of killing were shaking the earth.

Nangong Shi was wearing armor, riding a tall horse, standing at the front of the team. He raised the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly:

"Soldiers, follow me to charge, break through Chongcheng, and capture Chonghouhu alive!"
