Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 194 Unless He Is a Martial Arts Master
"boom--"

As Zuoqiu Ren's voice fell, the entire stone house changed and turned into a boundless wilderness.

Zhao Yu looked around with eyes wide open, his face full of surprise.

As a member of the royal family, her knowledge is unmatched by others.

But this was the first time she entered such an illusion.

"Zhang Yuan——"

Zhao Yu called out, but there was no sign of Zhang Yuan. He must have entered the illusion and disappeared.

She ran quickly to the hill and saw many figures on the hillside ahead.

The figure over there also saw her and ran towards her.

The body was like that made of rotten wood, and the hands were holding rotten swords and guns.

It looks like a human, but apart from the body shape, even the face is crooked and it doesn't look like a human at all.

The movements of these figures were extremely uncoordinated as they ran, and several of them fell and broke into pieces along the way.

Seeing those figures approaching, Zhao Yu exclaimed: "What the hell is this?"

"Ahem, Master Zhao, these are the Taoist soldiers transformed from my formation diagram." Hu Tang poked his head out from the pile of bodies with a flushed face.

The Taoist soldiers transformed from the formation diagram?

Zhao Yu looked at these things that could be called Taoist soldiers and couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, this is also called a Taoist soldier. What does your formation diagram look like..."

Walking together with these strange Taoist soldiers, Zhao Yu helped pick up fallen arms and supported Taoist soldiers with broken legs.

Hu Tang's face was covered in sweat, and he was trying his best to control these Taoist soldiers to move forward in a scattered manner.

Along the way, they encountered all kinds of strange Taoist soldiers.

Some of them are a group of Taoist soldiers with round spherical bodies. It is obvious that circles were used to represent Taoist soldiers when drawing the formation diagram.

There were also Taoist soldiers with horns like tree branches on their heads, running around in groups of three or two. The students who controlled the Taoist soldiers were in a panic and couldn't pull them back.

"Roar--"

A wild roar came from the top of the hill.

A blue wolf, over ten feet tall, came running towards them.

Behind the blue wolf, thousands of wolves followed.

"Bam—"

A Taoist soldier was smashed to pieces by the green wolf and turned into ashes.

The students who were blocking the green wolf's path were too late to resist and were knocked away. They fell with pale faces and were then trampled to pieces by the wolves.

"That's, that's Mr. Zuoqiu's formation diagram Taoist soldiers!"

Someone looked up and pointed at a large flag on the mountain.

The two big characters "Zuoqiu" shone with golden light.

Zuo Qiuren, standing under the banner, had a calm expression as he said calmly, "This is the Daoist method of the formation diagram. If one can unleash all his strength, it would be easy to create soldiers by scattering beans or an army by waving his hands."

His voice was like thunder, rolling over the mountains.

Looking at the Taoist soldiers crushed by the wolves and the wailing students, Zuo Qiuren spoke again: "It costs me one hundred taels of gold to open a fantasy world. Such a loss is truly painful. You should also feel my pain."

"Being killed in the illusion, I'll only suffer some damage to my soul. It'll only give me a headache for three to five days. It's no big deal."

"If you have the ability, you can stop my formation soldiers."

Block the Taoist soldiers?

Can this pack of blue wolves be stopped?
Several students led their own Taoist soldiers to fight against the wolf pack, but their Taoist soldiers were torn to pieces.

Some of the smart ones had already asked the Taoist soldiers to protect them and ran away.

"It's over, it's over," Hu Tang said, his face pale as he looked at Zhao Yu behind him. "Master Zhao, please leave quickly. My army can't stop the wolves."

Zhao Yu nodded, turned around and ran.

He hadn't run far when he heard Hu Tang's wailing from behind.

After running a few more steps, he was assaulted by the hot and bloody breath of the wolves behind him.

Looking up, I saw a figure on the hill ahead.

He wore a black student's outer robe and had his hand on the hilt of the long sword at his waist.

"Zhang Yuan——"

Zhao Yu ran over with all his might and bumped into Zhang Yuan's arms.

She heard the sound of a long sword being unsheathed, and then there was a vibration like flying clouds.

When she opened her eyes, she saw herself sitting next to Zhang Yuan, and under her was a giant turtle that was a hundred feet long.

"This is……"

"Xuanwu." Zhang Yuan said lightly, looking up at Zuoqiu Ren who was following the wolf pack in front of him.

On the hillside, everyone stared in amazement at the giant turtle that was supporting the sky coming towards them.

"Well, those are also Taoist soldiers transformed from the formation diagram?" Several students looked at the Taoist soldiers around them who looked like skeletons, with envy on their faces.

"Zhang Shijiu." Master Gu clenched his fists, his face showing a complicated expression.

"It's indeed him." Master Xun muttered, raising his head to watch the giant turtle step past him and crush several of his Taoist soldiers with one foot.

Hu Tang, who had hurriedly climbed up the hillside, turned around and looked at the huge black tortoise that passed over his head, muttering to himself, "Wow, Brother Zhang's turtle is so big..."

"hold head high--"

Xuanwu let out a long howl and charged towards the wolf pack in front of everyone.

With a body of a hundred feet and a thick tortoise shell, even the strongest wolf in the pack was crushed to pieces by a single kick.

On the top of the mountain, Zuo Qiuren watched Zhang Yuan and Zhao Yu sitting on the back of Xuanwu, pushing away the wolves and rushing towards him.

"Eight formations."

Zuo Qiuren narrowed his eyes and the corners of his eyes twitched.

He raised his hand and waved it, and all the wolves shattered and turned into wisps of green smoke, and then condensed into a black tortoise with a body of a hundred feet.

Eight array diagrams!
"Boom--" The two black tortoises collided with each other, and the turbulent clouds and smoke rose into the sky.

Xuanwu's body shattered and turned into Taoist soldiers wearing armor.

Zhang Yuan stood in the military formation, looking at Zuo Qiuren who was also standing in the green armor formation in front of him.

Zuoqiu Ren smiled and waved a flag in his hand.

Eight thousand soldiers followed his command.

When one army moves, seven armies follow.

The Taoist soldiers transformed from the Eight Diagrams gathered and dispersed, rushing towards Zhang Yuan's army formation.

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and waved, and eight formation flags appeared in front of him.

Zhang Yuan looked solemn as he watched Zuoqiu Ren casually changing the formation flags, causing the army to change its position and forming a siege.

Although he had experience in commanding troops and had experienced the power of battle formations in illusions, he still lacked experience when facing Zuoqiu Ren, a Confucian and Taoist master who was comparable to a Confucian general.

When the two armies clashed, the blue-clad soldiers clearly had the upper hand. They tried to infiltrate and split Zhang Yuan's army formation.

Once the army is separated, it will be at the mercy of others.

"Zhang Yuan, I will help you command the troops, and you can lead the charge. Perhaps, there is still a chance of victory."

Zhao Yu's voice sounded beside him.

Zhang Yuan turned his head to look at Zhao Yu, then rushed out with a long knife in hand.

Behind him, Zhao Yu stood in his original place, raised his hand and grasped a battle flag.

Following Zhao Yu's command, the soldiers gathered towards Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan strode forward, and the soldiers behind him formed sharp lines.

Zuo Qiuren's eyes gleamed with brilliance. He raised his hand and used the battle flag to lead a group of soldiers to rush towards Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan held the knife in his hand, shouted loudly, and slashed down with the blade. There was no enemy blocking his way.

The green blade sparkled and opened a gap in the front of the army formation.

"Zhang Shijiu is so brave!"

"That's awesome! Even before the battle formation, he was able to lead the troops into battle!"

"Amazing! He and that guy teamed up to actually stop Mr. Zuoqiu's troops."

As the students watched, Zhao Yu waved the battle flag and led the army to follow Zhang Yuan's charge, breaking through Zuoqiu Ren's formation and rushing towards Zuoqiu Ren.

Defeat the enemy and kill the general.

Zuoqiu Ren's face was calm as he looked up at where Zhao Yu was in front of him.

He waved the battle flag in his hand, and a group of soldiers rushed towards Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu's eyes fell on Zhang Yuan. At this moment, Zhang Yuan, who was leading the charge, turned around.

Zhao Yu smiled and nodded slightly, then waved the flag in his hand heavily.

Zhang Yuan held a long sword and shouted: "Defeat the enemy——"

All the Taoist soldiers shouted in a low voice: "Behead the general——"

The soldiers formed a battle array, like a wedge driven in, breaking the Qingjia battle array. Led by Zhang Yuan, they rushed towards Zuoqiu Ren on the hillside.

Baizhang.

Eighty feet.

On the other side, there were no soldiers protecting Zhao Yu.

The team of soldiers in green armor also rushed to within fifty feet of her.

On the hillside, all the students widened their eyes and held their breath.

Zhang Yuan held a long sword and chopped down all the soldiers blocking the road.

Fifty feet.

Thirty feet.

Ten feet!

There was nothing in front of him. He looked up and saw Zuo Qiu Ren holding the battle flag in his hand.

Zuoqiu Ren didn't look at Zhang Yuan, but looked into the distance.

The team of green armored soldiers was already five feet in front of Zhao Yu.

Zhang Yuan raised the long sword in his hand, and Zuoqiu Ren raised the battle flag in his hand.

In the back, Zhao Yu looked at the blue-armored soldiers rushing towards him and closed his eyes.

Those students also showed regret on their faces.

"Bam—"

With a loud bang, all the soldiers behind Zhang Yuan turned into nothingness.

The next moment, the illusion before everyone's eyes disappeared, leaving only the cold stone wall.

Between the stone walls, pieces of spiritual jade shattered.

The spiritual energy in the jade was exhausted and the illusion disappeared.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Yuan.

It’s a pity that I didn’t see the final outcome of this battle.

Was it Mr. Zuoqiu's army that killed the enemy's commander, or was it Zhang Shijiu who killed the general in front of the battle?
In Zhang Yuan's hand, a formation diagram turned into pieces and scattered all over the ground.

This Eight Diagrams Formation Diagram cannot support two formations after all.

"A general should not be blindly confident or rely on bravery in battle."

Zuoqiu Ren's gaze fell on Zhang Yuan, and he said calmly, "In this situation, you should return to the army to protect the commander, instead of risking everything to kill the general."

Looking at Zhao Yu, Zuo Qiuren said calmly, "No matter how much you trust him, you should understand that he can't do it."

"When two armies are fighting, only a general can charge into the battle formation, unless he is a martial arts master."
