Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 94 Dugu Feng's Trembling, the Battle between Cang Yun and Tian Ce
"One hundred thousand Heavenly Strategies, one hundred thousand Vajra Realms."

"One hundred thousand blue clouds, one hundred thousand diamond realms."

Dugu Feng looked at the endless dark clouds and the two powerful armies. Even though he had been mentally prepared, the shock he felt at this moment was unprecedentedly huge.

Her delicate body was shaking constantly.

As the jewel in the crown of the Dugu clan, she knew very well what such a force meant.

"The terrifying thing is, 200,000 Vajra Realm warriors aren't the entire strength of the Su Palace, but just the tip of the iceberg." Dugu Feng's beautiful eyes trembled violently, and her body felt an involuntary stiffness. "If such a powerful army were to set foot in the Great Sui Dynasty, how could we stop them?"

Relying on the troops of the Sui Dynasty?

Or is it the private army raised by the four major clans?
Or is it the rebel army supported by those underworld gangs?

Dugu Feng couldn't think of any force that could stop either Tiance or Cangyun's army. Even if the four major clans joined forces with the good and evil forces of the Sui Dynasty, she didn't see much hope.

As those in the Zhixuan realm, the celestial realm, and even the land immortals showed off their power unscrupulously.

In Dugu Feng's eyes, he seemed to see the wheel of history rolling in like a torrent, ready to crush this chaotic world, reshape the unity, and create a new world.

Liang Yuru beside her was so excited that her face flushed as she imagined a future scene where she would follow the Dragon Riders, fight battles in the south and the north, ride through the Yuan capital, and enjoy the cherry blossoms.

……

The parade grounds of Tiance Mansion are full of fluttering flags.

On the bluestone-paved martial arts arena, Li Zhaoxue, the wife of a military officer from the Tiance Mansion, stood with her spear across her body. She was clad in silver armor, and her long spear with a red tassel gleamed coldly in the sunlight. Her proud fighting spirit seemed to make her blood boil.

Her opponent was Lin Cang, a soldier from the Cangyun Army who had broken through the camp. He was dressed in black iron armor, holding a sword and shield, and stood proudly.

On the platform for selecting generals, Zhu Jinzhen sat in the first seat, and on his left sat the high-ranking generals of Tiance Mansion, from Li Chengen to Deputy Commander Qin Yiyan, Tianqiang Yang Ning, Xu Changhai, Zhu Jianqiu, Cao Xueyang and others.

On the right sat Cang Yun commander Changsun Wangqing and deputy commander Xue Zhi, female guard commander Yan Yimei, vanguard commander Song Senxue, Feiyu commander Shen Tuyuan, and Pozhen commander Wang Bukong.

And the Great Snow Dragon Rider Commander Lu Wushuang.

Watching the martial arts competition between Tian Ce and Cang Yun.

"Li Zhaoxue, a Wuqi Captain of the Wandering Dragon Cavalry, once fought single-handedly on the battlefield, relying solely on his spear skills to defeat hundreds of elite Mongolian and Liao forces. In recent years, his mastery of the arrogance and fighting spirit has reached a state of utter perfection. His Thunder Spear technique has even reached the point where his spear is as powerful as thunder, not far from the realm of celestial phenomena."

"The Lincang Cangyun Army's Breaking Formation soldiers are not well-known, but their swords, the Cangxue Knife, the Breaking Formation Order, and the Fenglingheng Juezhen are all mastered to an inhuman level. They once fought against Wang Bukong, the commander of the Cangyun Army in the Tianxiang Realm, and withstood sixteen of his palms without being defeated."

Yan Yimei introduced the current situation of the two people on the training ground to everyone.

"here we go."

When Zhu Jinzhen finished speaking.

The two people on the martial arts stage in the training ground attacked almost at the same time.

Lin Cang stroked the hilt of the knife with his fingertips, and suddenly swung out the Yuncheng Shield in his left hand. He held the reverse-blade knife upside down and used the Cangyun light skill to shake the earth. Suddenly, he jumped up, like a wild dragon out of the sea, and the blade cut through the sky and slashed towards Li Zhaoxue's head.

clang!
Clash of swords and guns.

One of them used the force to flip out, while the other held the spear in both hands and was forced to retreat half a step.

"Hmph, fight in all directions!" After Li Zhaoxue's hard attack, the silver spear in his hand danced like a wheel. The wind from the spear was so strong that it forced Lin Cang, who wanted to get closer, to retreat and had to temporarily avoid the attack.

"This is the moment."

Li Zhaoxue suddenly shouted, pointed her toes, and the spear in her hand seemed to merge with her. She suddenly closed the distance of ten feet as if by teleportation, and fired thirty-seven shots in a row in one breath, pointing directly at Lincang.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

A cold light suddenly appeared, and the gun shot out like a dragon.

But Lincang blocked every shot with the Yuncheng Shield in his left hand.

"No, Tian Ce's Thunder Spear Technique is as fast as thunder. If it continues to be powerful, even I can't withstand it for long." Lin Cang thought to himself. It would be fine if they were sparring on ordinary days, but today, in front of his own prince and General Yan, he couldn't lose face.

After thinking about it, Lincang's right hand of the reverse-edged sword suddenly burst out with a sharp sword energy and smashed it hard towards the ground.

This attack broke the horses and pushed the city forward with force like a hurricane.

Li Zhaoxue's continuous spear force was actually shocked so much that a gap appeared in his spear force.

"Now!" Lin Cang swept out with the Yuncheng Shield, and then his figure suddenly split into several paths. He circled behind Li Zhaoxue at an extremely fast speed, and with a knife wrapped in an endless and domineering sword light, he went straight for Li Zhaoxue's back.

"Behind me!"

Li Zhaoxue felt the wind suddenly tighten in her ears, and she swept the tip of her spear behind her, but it only split a shadow. The next moment, Lincang was close to her back like a ghost, and the sword and shield crisscrossed and slashed down.

Unfortunately, the attack failed. Li Zhaoxue pointed his toes, used the force to spin around, swept his spear across, and used the Battle of All Directions technique again to repel him.

Click!

The sound of the armor breaking was very light, but it was still noticed by the two people on the training ground.

Li Zhaoxue glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that his right shoulder armor had been cut by the sword at some point.

"very good!"

Li Zhaoxue's eyes flashed, and he shouted "Wind!"

It is slow as a forest and fast as the wind.

This is exactly Tian Ce's unique skill, as fast as the wind. Li Zhaoxue used the Thunder Spear again, causing sand and stones to fly. The speed of his spear was three times faster than before.

Lin Cang only felt a flash before his eyes, and the tip of Li Zhaoxue's gun was already in front of him. He leaned back so that the cold tip of the gun almost passed by his face. Then he used the force to turn around and use his shield to block, deflecting Li Zhaoxue's downward attack that failed.

At the same time, the blade went straight for Li Zhaoxue's face.

Li Zhaoxue narrowly avoided the blade by turning his neck and swept the spear across the opponent's waist and abdomen, but Lincang took advantage of the momentum and leaped into the air, and the combined attack of sword and shield collided with the spear.

After a brief test.

Both have cleared each other's strength.

The next moment, only a few afterimages remained on the training ground.

One of them wields a spear like thunder, the other wields a sword as swift as wind and thunder, both of them are masters of fast fighting, as they move around, except for the soldiers in the Profound Finger Realm, those in the Vajra Realm and below can only catch a little afterimage.

"It's really amazing."

"It's all great."

"Zhaoxue, come on!"

"Lincang, if you lose to a woman, I will laugh at you for a whole year."

The audience was extremely excited, but due to the strict military rules, they did not dare to cheer and could only cheer them on secretly.

Spear flashes were everywhere on the field. When Li Zhaoxue noticed the blade breaking through the spear force, he threw out the spear without hesitation. With the power of a dragon's roar and the force that could penetrate everything, he pointed directly at Lin Cang's left shoulder.

"clang!"

Lincang's blade stopped at the side of Li Zhaoxue's neck, and the spear tassel, which was wrapped in the power of dragon's roar, also stopped just inches away from Lincang's neck.

The two men put away their guns and staggered a few steps.

Lin Cang panted and chuckled: "The spearmanship of Tiance Mansion is well-deserved."

Li Zhaoxue leaned on the ground with his spear and took a few deep breaths. "Cang Yun's ability to split the mountain and block it, his iron will and fearlessness, is truly admirable. Even though my spear is as fast as thunder, I still couldn't defeat you."

After saying this, she wiped away the blood, picked up the red tassel and pointed it at her opponent: "Again?"

The setting sun is blood-red, and the drums in the parade ground sound again.

Zhu Jinzhen, who was on the stage, laughed with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad. A duel on the training ground isn't a life-and-death battle, so let's call it a draw, how about that?"

"Your Highness is wise."

Li Chengen, Changsun Wangqing and others had no objection.

They could all see that Li Zhaoxue and Lin Cang were of comparable strength. If they were to fight on the battlefield, Li Zhaoxue would probably be better. However, this was ultimately just a competition in the training ground, not a fight of life and death.

A draw is the best outcome.
