Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 362 Ten Absolute Techniques Displayed Outside Xiqi City

Ju Liusun didn't dare linger, fearing he might encounter Taoist disciples. After feeding Qin Tianjun the pill, he immediately used his earth-traveling technique to return to his own camp.

Furthermore, Qin Tianjun was directly handed over to Daoist Ran Deng. After all, Qin Tianjun's heart had been shattered, with only a sliver of his heart meridian remaining.

If Jiang Ziya hadn't said Qin Tianjun wasn't dead, Ju Liusun wouldn't have wasted his elixir. After all, in Ju Liusun's eyes, Qin Tianjun was already a dead man.

When Daoist Ran Deng took Qin Tianjun's body and examined it, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, Saint Hongyun was prepared and placed a talisman on Qin Tianjun's body to protect his soul."

"Otherwise, Qin Tianjun's soul would have already left his body by now and become a famous figure on the Investiture of the Gods. Even if the Red Cloud Saint himself came at that time, there would be no way to reverse the situation."

It turns out that when the Ten Heavenly Kings returned to Biyou Palace, they not only received ten innate spiritual treasures bestowed by Ancestor Hongyun, but they also secretly placed a talisman on each of them.

This talisman, while unable to block any attacks, can, however, imprison their true spirit within their bodies for a period of time after death.

The time they were imprisoned was the key to their resurrection. It was tantamount to giving them an extra life.

However, this talisman is a one-time use item, and each person can only use it once.

Even so, Qin Tianjun's life was saved. The Taoist Ran Deng took out a jade bottle, poured out a drop of the Three Lights Divine Water, and dripped it onto Qin Tianjun's wound.

Then the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. A new heart even grew back.

A moment later, Qin Tianjun let out a wail, "It hurts so much!"

After reviving Qin Tianjun, Daoist Ran Deng said to the nine Heavenly Lords in mid-air, "Do not linger in battle with them. Quickly use the great formation to defend against the enemy."

Upon hearing the words of Daoist Ran Deng, Zhao Tianjun took a step forward. Immediately afterward, an array diagram flew out of his hand.

At the same time, he arrogantly declared, "The Earthly Fiery Formation is full of hidden wonders, with lightning above and fire below showing no mercy. Even with the Five Elements Divine Arts, one cannot escape being turned to bone..."

Unfortunately, Zhao Tianjun's boasting wasn't over yet. Zhang Guifang shouted, "Zhao Jiang, why aren't you coming down from the clouds? What are you waiting for?"

Zhao Tianjun, who was showing off, suddenly felt dizzy and then lost consciousness. Like Qin Tianjun, he fell directly from the clouds.

Fortunately, Bai Tianjun reacted quickly and pulled Zhao Tianjun back. At the same time, he also took away the formation diagram of the Earthly Fiery Formation.

After all, the person who set up the formation is already dead or missing, so how could the formation diagram that was thrown out be used to set up the Earthly Fiery Formation?

At the same time, Dong Tianjun had already silently released the Wind Howling Formation Diagram. After all, he dared not recite a flashy poem like Zhao Jiang had.

He didn't know if he would become the next Qin Tianjun. But becoming the next Zhao Jiang was a certainty.

Suddenly, a massive formation appeared out of thin air, blocking the path between the Xiqi army and the Shang army. Instantly, a murderous aura filled the sky, causing the temperature outside Xiqi city to drop several degrees.

This was just the beginning. In the end, the other Heavenly Lords also unleashed their array diagrams. The seven great arrays instantly formed a line outside Xiqi City.

Meanwhile, Bai Tianjun had already brought Zhao Tianjun to Randeng Daoren. Upon learning that Zhao Tianjun was merely experiencing a mental instability, he was no longer worried.

Then Bai Tianjun stepped forward and also activated the Blazing Flame Array Diagram, and a Blazing Flame Array instantly rose into the air.

In the blink of an eye, eight of the Ten Deadly Formations had been set up, surrounding eighty percent of Xiqi City. If the other two formations were set up, Xiqi would be completely encircled by an impregnable wall. Moreover, the Ten Heavenly Kings accepted Ji Fa's suggestion and linked the ten formations together. Each formation has ten variations, so those who enter the formation have no idea which one they have entered.

Therefore, the ritual of consecrating the array was naturally ineffective. Furthermore, since the Ten Heavenly Kings already possessed innate spiritual treasures as the array's core, they had even less to worry about consecrating the array.

Unless the opponent can destroy the innate spiritual treasure at the core of the formation first, and then use ten people to sacrifice to the formation in turn, there is no possibility of breaking the formation.

Seeing the eight great formations appear outside Xiqi City, Ji Fa finally felt relieved.

Jiang Ziya then stepped forward with his feet on his groin and said, "Zhang Guifang, it is innocent soldiers and civilians who suffer in battles between two armies."

“We of Xiqi cherish life and do not wish to add to the bloodshed. We are prepared to settle the matter with the tyrannical ruler through a gamble.”

“You may send someone back to inform that tyrant. Tell him that if the tyrant can send someone to break my Xiqi formation, Xiqi is willing to submit.”

"On the contrary, we should quickly withdraw our troops back to the Five Passes. We will take Jinji Ridge as the boundary and neither side will invade the other for ten years."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guifang frowned, but he was not a reckless person. He could tell that these ten great formations were extraordinary.

He immediately used a delaying tactic and said directly, "I, the General, will report this matter to the King."

"But since you want to gamble with us on formations, shouldn't you allow our people to enter the formation and observe it? After all, this is the rule for gambles on the battlefield."

"Even when the Yellow Emperor was fighting Chi You at Zhuolu, Chi You set up the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, and the Yellow Emperor was allowed to send people to observe the formation."

Upon hearing Zhang Guifang's words, Jiang Ziya was momentarily at a loss for what to do, since he hadn't set up that formation.

Jiang Ziya himself wasn't sure if his plan would be easily detected. How could he dare to agree to Zhang Guifang's request so readily?

Just then, Qin Tianjun, who had just escaped with his life, arrived beside Jiang Ziya and glared at Zhang Guifang, saying...

"Since we've set up the formation, why would we be afraid of you observing it? You're welcome to bring your people to watch. Rest assured, I will absolutely not use any unorthodox or heretical techniques to launch a sneak attack."

Qin Tianjun's words were a veiled insult to Zhang Guifang, implying that she had used unorthodox methods to ambush him.

Zhang Guifang didn't care about this at all, and immediately sneered and said, "I see that your formation is not yet complete. When you finish setting it up, send someone to deliver a message, and I, the general, will naturally come to watch the battle."

After speaking, the other side immediately turned his horse around and ordered the army to retreat to camp. At the same time, he didn't forget to nod to Yang Jian.

Seeing Zhang Guifang and Yang Jian lead their army back to the Shang camp, Qin Tianjun couldn't help but sneer, "You might escape today, but can you escape tomorrow?"

"If you dare not break the formation, don't blame me for setting up the Ten Deadly Formations below your five passes. One day, I might even set it up outside Chaoge City."

After speaking, the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects burst into unrestrained laughter, as if their laughter signified their victory. They completely forgot that Qin Tianjun had been tricked.

At that moment, Nezha peeked out from a cloud in mid-air and spoke to Ao Bing beside him.

"Bingbing, are you ready?"
