The Heavens Start to Reverse Fate from Martial Arts

Chapter 167: Mirror Flowers and Water Moon, Illusionary World Bewitching the Heart

Cao Yinglong had high cheekbones and sunken cheeks, and his eyes half-closed. The words he could clearly hear made his face change color, especially the murderous intent in his voice, which made people tremble. He opened and closed his eyes and shouted hurriedly, "Third brother, fourth brother, retreat quickly!"

Maozao was tall and thin, looking like a bad scholar. His mustache twitched, his expression changed, his back trembled, and a whisk flew into his hand. He shouted in a low voice, "Retreat quickly!" After that, he swung the whisk and prepared for a battle.

Xiang Batian and Fang Jianding shuddered, and hurriedly turned their horses around and rushed back. The next moment, under the lock of the great divine will, the two of them and their horses instantly froze like clay sculptures or stone carvings.

Wang Yi's eyes were indifferent as he lowered his head and looked down at the two groups of people on the other side of the moat. His clothes moved without wind, and his deep and vast aura rose to the sky, dispersing the clouds above and revealing a night sky full of shining stars.

His eyes shone with divine light, and the words he spoke shook the void, echoing through the night sky within a radius of ten miles, causing everyone to change color when they heard it:

"I have taken the transformation of Dunyi, the wonder of the formation, the illusion of the mind, combined the perfection of mind, body, qi, technique, and momentum, absorbed the mysteries of heaven and earth, and condensed a spiritual illusion."

"This fantasy domain is called - Mirror Flower and Water Moon."

Wang Yi smiled faintly, raised his hand and pointed in the distance, the spiritual light at his fingertips blossomed, illuminating the night sky as bright as day.

The void was humming, the stars were shining, and wisps of energy from heaven and earth were gathering from all directions. A hazy spiritual fantasy realm was slowly but actually covering the other side of the moat.

In just a moment, all the enemy troops were enveloped. Under the influence of the spiritual power, the enemy troops from both sides in the fantasy realm, totaling more than 70,000 people, all looked dazed for a moment. They looked at each other, and were stunned.

Xiang Batian turned his horse's head and looked at the 20,000 enemy troops in a strict formation. He looked up to the sky and laughed, "Cui Dong, urge the gate god, did Dou Jiande send you to die?"

Fang Jianding loosened the reins, raised his hands and took off the two maces on his back, pointed at Cui Dong who was sitting on a white horse in the distance, and grinned: "Little door god, how dare you block the way of my four brothers? Are you... tired of living?"

Mao Zao smiled sinisterly, flicked his whisk and said, "That bastard Dou Jiande is not afraid of being slaughtered. There are many people in this world who want to kill him. I think it's better for Cui Men Shen to go back quickly."

Cui Dong opened and closed his eyes, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, he stared coldly at the four bandits, and shouted: "How dare you, a small bandit, speak foul language? Get out of here quickly, don't dirty my eyes."

Dou Gong said that even if the whole army was annihilated, the Pegasus Ranch must be kept safe. In order to be rewarded, he issued a military order, and tonight there was no choice but to fight to the death.

Cao Yinglong stepped out from the crowd, clasped his hands and said in a loud voice: "The outcome of the Pegasus Ranch tonight has been decided. Brother Cui, why don't you retreat now to avoid losing your life in vain."

Cui Dong held the sword across his chest, his eyes flashing with coldness, and shouted in a low voice: "With the strength of you four bandits, you are not qualified to take my life. I am too lazy to talk to you. Either retreat here, or fight to the death with the army led by me!"

Cao Yinglong was furious and his expression turned cold: "Brother Cui, are you really not going to give me any face?"

"Come and fight!" Cui Dong's eyes were wide open with anger. He waved the long sword in his right arm, pointed at the four bandits from a distance, and shouted with murderous intent to challenge them.

Xiang Tianba's fat face instantly burst into rage, and the deadly gear rings in his hands spun rapidly, tearing the air with a hissing sound.

He turned around and shouted angrily, "Damn it, do you really think that the four of us are afraid of him? My men, follow me and kill him! If we take over Pegasus Ranch, I will let you play as you please for three days!"

After saying this, he led the charge with a murderous look on his face.

Fang Jianding waved his sturdy arm, and the spiked mace whistled in the wind. He rode his horse and charged after them, shouting wildly and harshly:
"My men, follow me and kill this bitch! After we finish this job, we will go to Dou Jiande's base camp to let him know how powerful we four bandits are!"

The faces of the 50,000 bandit soldiers all showed fanaticism. Without the slightest hesitation or fear, they all shouted with burning fighting spirit and launched a desperate charge.

Cao Yinglong frowned, instinctively sensing something was wrong, but couldn't figure out what was wrong. He narrowed his eyes and saw that the army behind him had already launched a charge. He could only suppress his doubts and follow Mao Zao to kill the enemy.

"Form a battle array! Meet the enemy!" Cui Dong's eyes condensed, and he waved the long sword in his hand forward and issued a military order. The army behind him followed the order and quickly changed formations to the sound of drums.

Soon the two armies collided with each other.

The four great bandits were all innate masters. Under their leadership, 50,000 bandits and robbers charged into the neatly-formed army of 20,000 without fear of life or death.

The two armies collided with each other like a tide. The sounds of weapons clashing, horses neighing, soldiers shouting, screaming and cursing, and drums beating intertwined into a solemn war song that shook the entire night sky.

Cao Yinglong's palms flew, and the power of his palms was overwhelming. Every time he swung his palms, he brought with him sharp power, reaping the lives of enemies along the way, and the enemy's formation was torn open by him.

Although Xiang Batian was short and fat, he was extremely agile. The deadly tooth ring spun like the wind in his hand. Every strike was accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, and it could easily cut the necks of the enemy along the way.

Fang Jianding and Mao Zao killed their enemies equally quickly, and no one was able to match them wherever they went. Their wild laughter echoed throughout the entire battlefield.

Upon seeing this, the bandit army became more determined to fight and they wielded their weapons faster.

"Shoot!" Cui Dong stood in the center of the army formation, scanning the entire battlefield with a cold expression. When he saw the enemy entering the shooting range of bows and arrows, he gave the order to fight without hesitation.

Ong!
The bowstrings trembled, and then a black rain of arrows shot out from the rear of the army. The piercing wind whistled continuously, and thousands of arrows streaked across the sky, pressing towards the area where the four major bandits were located.

Puff puff...

The bandits and robbers had little armor protection, and thousands of them were pierced by arrows in just one round of rain of arrows. They fell to the ground wailing for a few breaths, and then died under the trampling of their comrades behind them.

At this moment, the two warring parties seemed to have forgotten about life and death, with only a burning desire to fight in their hearts, and they fought each other selflessly.

On the battlefield, life and death are just a matter of seconds.

Soldiers from both sides brandished their weapons and fought hard under the hail of arrows. The blood dyed the earth and the moat red. The strong smell of blood filled the air, dyeing the void a layer of blood red.

The strange thing is that every person who died would have a wisp of blood and energy coming out of their body. The blood and energy seemed to have a spirit and would spontaneously merge into the bodies of the surrounding soldiers, allowing them to remain vigorous at all times.

On the city wall of the mountain city.

Everyone stood at the parapet, looking at the illusory light curtain that completely covered the outside of the city, and the fierce fighting inside, and they all fell into silence. The light curtain was transparent and hazy, but it did not block everyone's sight. Although they could not hear the voices inside the light curtain, they could clearly see everything that happened inside the light curtain. It was because they saw it clearly that they were so silent.

"Master... your Mirror Flower and Water Moon... is so powerful? No wonder Master said that with you in charge, no matter how many enemies come, we are not afraid..."

Shang Xiuxun took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in her heart. She tilted her head to look at Wang Yi, who looked calm and composed, and awe unconsciously arose in her heart.

As soon as the words fell, everyone around woke up as if from a dream. They subconsciously wanted to move away, but as soon as the thought came to their mind, they spontaneously suppressed it.

Li Xiuning had a solemn expression on his face. Looking at the two parties who were fighting each other in the fantasy realm, a huge wave surged in his heart.

There is shock, but even more fear.

This kind of unthinkable method makes people's souls tremble uncontrollably. This is an army of nearly 70,000, plus five innate masters... and they were played around so easily.

The invincible armies that each family is proud of will all become playthings in the hands of the other party in the face of such incredible means.

If the other party wants to, they can easily reverse the world situation. How terrible is that?

This Taoist's strength... is probably far beyond the three world-famous grand masters Ning Daoqi, Fu Cailin, and Bi Xuan.

The appearance of such a person... the world may be facing unimaginable changes. I must remind my second brother as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Li Xiuning took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and forced a smile, "Mirror flowers and water moons, the illusion confuses the mind. Taoist... Taoist master's illusion realm has opened our eyes... I didn't expect that there is such a... mysterious martial art in the world."

Chai Shao raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead and said in a hoarse voice: "What kind of martial arts? People believe that this is a magic technique. I have never heard of it or seen it before."

He winked at Li Gang repeatedly, feeling extremely anxious. Li Shiming must not come, otherwise they might not be able to leave the Pegasus Ranch today.

Who could have thought that the Pegasus Ranch, which was once a popular place, would suddenly turn into an evil dragon that no one could afford to provoke? Who could they turn to for justice?
Li Gang's forehead was also covered with sweat. He wiped the sweat off his face and forced a smile, "Well... I have something urgent to do and need to leave. I wonder... can you give me some convenience?"

The outside of the city was shrouded in a hazy light curtain, and no one could leave without the Taoist's permission. The mountain city was located in a steep mountain, and there was no other way to leave.

He didn't want to appear so anxious, but if he didn't inform the young master, he and the army he led would probably fall into the illusion and die like the people outside the city.

Shang Xiuxun turned around abruptly, staring at Li Gang with cold eyes. His cold eyes slowly swept over everyone in the Li Clan, and finally met Li Xiuning's eyes. He said indifferently, "Princess Xiuning, are you from the Li Clan also bullying me because there is no one at Pegasus Ranch?"

She is in charge of such a large Pegasus Ranch, so she is certainly not a stupid person. Although she knows that the Li family has ill intentions, Li Gang is so eager to leave that he is even willing to offend his master. His purpose is obvious.

Everyone in the Li family was startled and glanced at Wang Yi standing by the wall. Seeing that he looked normal, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xiuning smiled helplessly, without any hypocritical excuses, and said slowly: "Don't blame me, Mr. Market. There are many forces eyeing Pegasus Ranch this time. The purpose of the Li family is also very simple. They want to take this opportunity to do Pegasus Ranch a favor to facilitate future cooperation between the two sides."

"Really?" Shang Xiuxun nodded without comment, turned around, looked at the tragic battlefield below, and his expression gradually became indifferent.

She was a little reluctant at first, but her heart suddenly turned cold. This world is really full of people with ulterior motives.

"Sister Shang, could you please let us inform my second brother first? The Li family will give an explanation to Pegasus Ranch afterwards." Li Xiuning looked sincere and lowered her posture spontaneously.

Shang Xiuxun was silent for a while, then slowly said: "There is nothing to explain, you can leave now, and Pegasus Ranch will cut off all ties with the Li family in the future."

After saying this, he turned to his master, folded his hands, and bowed, saying: "Master, please open a way for them to the outside world."

Wang Yi turned sideways and looked at Shang Xiuxun with satisfaction. The other party's call of "Master" was sincere, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

He reached out his hand to help him up, stared at the Li family and their group calmly, until they turned pale, then he slowly spoke:

"Give Li Yuan a message, asking him to guard Yanmen Pass well. If they dare to let the Turks go south, the Li clan will no longer have any reason to exist..."

After saying this, without caring about the shocked expressions of the few people, he waved his hand and a gust of wind as soft as silk appeared, carrying the few people towards the east exit of Pegasus Ranch.

Shang Xiuxun looked at the Li clan who were rapidly going away, frowned and asked, "Master, are you saying that the Li clan might be colluding with the Turks?"

Wang Yi turned around, overlooking the slaughter in the fantasy realm, and said indifferently: "It is not possible, but inevitable. History shows that border overlords often rely on the power of barbarians outside the Great Wall to fulfill their ambitions, and they have no bottom line."

"Aristocratic families like the Li family care most about their reputation and should not dare to risk the disapproval of the world." Shang Xiuxun still had some doubts.

Wang Yi smiled and did not explain further. Some things need to be experienced in person. Only in this way can the insights gained be your own.

Shang Xiuxun frowned slightly. When she heard the noise behind her, she turned around and saw Shang Zhen and Liu Zongdao coming together. She stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Liu Zongdao carefully glanced at the Taoist priest not far away, and lowered his voice and said, "Master, there are a man and two women who want to see you. The man calls himself Song Shidao, from the Song clan, and the woman calls herself Shen Luoyan, from Wagang. The other woman calls herself Wanwan, and she doesn't want to reveal her origins, but from her tone, it seems that she has someone to rely on."

Shang Xiuxun frowned, with a hint of displeasure in her brows. Now she had no feelings for these powerful people, but as the owner of Pegasus Ranch, she couldn't offend them too much.

After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Settle the three of them down first, and then respond after this crisis is over."

After saying this, he said no more. He turned around and stood beside his master, watching the battle in the fantasy realm with him.

Seeing that Liu Zongdao wanted to say something, Shang Zhen quickly stopped him with his eyes, turned around, grabbed his arm, and forcefully led him away.
