Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 189: In front of the two armies, the magic sword instantly cuts down Du Sha
The four returned worriedly.

The alliance’s camp has also been set up.

After all, Zuo Lengchan was well versed in military strategy, and the barracks he designed and built were quite methodical, and his subordinates also built them completely according to his design.

But when it comes to each of the following individuals, it is quite unsatisfactory.

After all, these people who have been through thick and thin in the martial arts world have never really learned how to cut trees, build fences, construct tents, arrow towers and other military buildings and facilities.

Although the final product was roughly formed, it was crooked and looked ugly.

At first glance, the entire military camp looks normal, but upon closer inspection, there are countless mistakes and omissions!

If the enemy launches a night attack, we don’t have to choose, we can easily break into any place we choose.

Zuo Lengchan's face darkened and he walked straight into the military camp without saying a word.

Liu Yuru let out a long sigh and said, "Will we win?"

Fang Zheng said seriously, "We will win!"

The next day, after Zuo Lengchan's renovations, the military camp's walls and watchtowers finally looked somewhat like what they were.

As for the rest...don't ask for too much.

In the camp, the four gathered again to discuss military affairs.

Zuo Lengchan said, "When we first arrived yesterday, we didn't see them advancing. Today, they are also defending the area tightly, with no movement at all. It seems that the Sun and Moon Divine Cult is determined to delay the attack through strict defense."

Fang Zheng was calm and composed: "It's only natural to play to one's strengths and avoid one's weaknesses."

The alliance has the smallest number of members, but they are all elite and have many experts.

Not to mention anything else, there are seven masters at the grandmaster level.

In addition to Fang Zheng, Chongxu, and Liu Yugu, there are four other masters in total.

If you include Lu Xiaofeng and Li Xunhuan, that would make nine masters!

Not to mention the innate warriors.

Any ordinary member of the alliance army has a cultivation level close to that of acquired cultivation.

On the other hand, the Sun and Moon Sect seems to have a large number of people and strong forces, but it lacks experts.

The ten evil men were all innate back then, and now no one knows if any of them has broken through to the grandmaster level.

But I think even if there are any, there are probably only one or two.

When Ren Woxing failed, he was only at the innate perfection level. He was imprisoned for many years, and it is unknown what his current cultivation level is.

But even if we think highly of him, we think he has broken through to the Grandmaster level.

Including An Wu, there are probably only three or four grandmasters.

Not to mention the innate number below.

Twenty thousand followers may seem like a lot, but most of them can only be considered warriors at the foundation-building stage... To put it nicely, they are warriors, to put it bluntly, they are just ordinary people with some strength.

Moreover, Dongfang Bubai had taken away the elite and foundation of the entire Sun-Moon Sect before, so that the Sun-Moon Sect now can't even put together a few complete sets of armor.

Not to mention ordinary believers, even the middle and high-level hall masters and elders wore cloth clothes.

At most, he could just get a set of leather armor.

But the enemy's military camp was extremely well-built, and the Blackwood Cliff behind the camp was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Under such circumstances, it is understandable that the Sun and Moon Sect chose to hold on.

After all, given the gap in strength between the two sides, it would be a strange thing if the Sun Moon Sect sent troops to attack.

In the past, Zhang Liao defeated an army of 100,000 with only 800 men.

If it were them, with nine masters as the vanguard and many innates as soldiers and generals, it would be possible for eighty to defeat twenty thousand.

Of course, the Sun and Moon Sect had to rely on the advantages of terrain and military camps to hold their ground.

Despite this, Fang Zheng never thought that his side would lose.

It’s not just the strength of the alliance, what’s more important is that the people supporting the alliance are the Ming Dynasty court.

If they really can't solve the problem of Black Wood Cliff, I think the imperial court will not sit idly by.

Of course, if it really came to that, the court would definitely have a very bad impression of them.

But what does this have to do with him?

Shaolin Temple is not the leader of this alliance.

Chongxu and Liu Yuru actually had the same idea.

Especially Chongxu, with Wudang behind him, it was extremely easy.

In the entire tent, only Zuo Lengchan, who was eager to take this opportunity to make the Songshan Sect famous, was truly thinking about how to defeat the Sun and Moon Sect as soon as possible.

“The Sun Moon Divine Sect’s barracks are well-organized and nearly flawless. Although the troops in the barracks are weak, with the barracks’ defense, it is almost impossible to break in.

The best way is naturally to lure them out of the barracks."

Zuo Lengchan said, "All of the ten evil men have explosive tempers. Let's send someone to start a verbal fight."

He then summoned the army, left the camp and headed towards Heimu Cliff.

Before arriving at the enemy camp, he issued an order to send two Xiantians to lead people out for a quarrel.

In the opposite military camp, the Left Envoy of Light, Ren Woxing, and the Right Envoy, Bloody Hand, Du Sha, were both there.

And most of the ten evil men.

Seeing the alliance advancing, they all climbed up the earth wall to watch the battle.

But then dozens of people from the enemy army rushed out, cursing and even cursing their parents and ancestors.

Among the ten evil men, most of them had explosive tempers, and their faces turned red with anger when they heard this.

Du Sha's face was filled with murderous intent. He said, "Ren Zuoshi, I'm going out to kill them now. Is that okay?"

Ren Woxing smiled and said, "As long as Du Youshi is careful and doesn't get surrounded by the enemy, then it will be possible."

"That's good!"

Du Sha leaped up and jumped directly off the earth wall, using his lightness skills to kill the dozens of people who were speaking foul language.

"Blood Hand Dusha?"

Among the dozens of people, the two innate leaders’ eyes suddenly lit up.

"Well done!"

"It seems like the two of us are going to achieve the first merit in this alliance!"

The two men looked happy and were not afraid of the name of Bloody Hand Du Sha at all.

Du Sha became famous decades ago, but he only had innate cultivation. Rumor has it that after he hid in the Valley of Evil, the hero Yan Nantian broke his right hand in three moves, and since then his arm has been equipped with a sharp hook.

You know, back then, although Du Sha was nicknamed "Bloody Hands", he was best at swordsmanship.

It can be said that Yan Nantian directly destroyed Du Sha's strongest method.

Facing such a person, what do they have to fear?
He immediately led dozens of people behind him and charged forward.

"Young brat, you're really not afraid of death!"

A ferocious smile appeared on Du Sha's face.

At the moment when the two were about to meet, Du Sha lightly drew the hook with his right hand, but suddenly slapped out with his left palm.

The two innates died on the spot, one of them had his throat cut by a hook, and the other had his heart shattered by a palm.

Du Sha then charged into the crowd, invincible.

"What a bloody Dusha! Who can help the alliance eliminate this enemy?!"

Zuo Lengchan's face turned cold and he shouted.

Although they could rush forward, they knew without a doubt that if they did so, Du Sha would definitely turn around and return to the barracks and would not fight with them.

After all, his nickname is Bloody Hand, not a fool.

"It's just Blood Hand Du Sha, let me deal with it!" A man came out after hearing the voice, it was the leader of Yueying Sect, Qi Zimu!

Before Zuo Lengchan could agree, another person stood up beside Qi Zimu and said, "Nephew, Blood Hand Du Sha has been famous for a long time and should not be underestimated. Why don't I go with you?"

"Uncle Master...this..." Qi Zimu hesitated.

Zuo Lengchan said, "Master Ji is willing to help, that's great."

This Master Ji wore a monk's robe, had a shaved head, a ferocious look on his face, and a scimitar at his waist.

He was Qi Zimu's uncle and the junior brother of the two masters of Yueying Sect.

Master Ji said, "My nephew shoulders the responsibility of the Moon Shadow Sect and has come here to make a name for himself. If he can kill Blood Hand Dusha alone, I will not take action. I ask for your approval, Alliance Leader."

"Of course it's okay!"

Zuo Lengchan only cared about killing Bloody Hand Du Sha and didn't care about anything else.

If he hadn't been afraid that Du Sha would be frightened and flee back to the barracks, he would have sent his men to attack him immediately.

Immediately, Qi Zimu and Master Ji rushed out together. Qi Zimu was in front, and Master Ji deliberately slowed down and followed behind him.

"Du Sha! Stop being so arrogant! Qi Zimu from the Yueying Sect is here!"

Du Sha twisted a man's neck with his backhand, letting the blood spill over himself, and said with a sinister smile: "What a bullshit Moon Shadow Sect! I've never even heard of it!"

He just stood there, ignoring the people running away around him, and watched Qi Zimu rushing towards him.

Qi Zimu raised the long sword in his hand. The snow-white blade reflected an even brighter light under the sunlight and fell into Du Sha's eyes.

But this trivial trick had no effect on Du Sha at all.

He closed his eyes, and relying on the information he had gathered at that moment, he swung the iron hook in his hand and blocked Qi Zimu's long sword.

Then he slapped Qi Zimu's chest with his left hand.

Qi Zimu was slapped away and fell to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, his face as pale as gold paper.

"not good!"

Master Ji was shocked and immediately showed his true speed. He appeared beside Qi Zimu almost instantly. The long sword at his waist was unsheathed at the same time, drawing a sharp blade light.

Du Sha originally wanted to kill them all, but seeing this he had to step back slightly. Then he slapped out with his left hand again, turning it into a bloody palm wind.

The sword light and the palm wind collided, and the burst of power stirred up a large amount of dust.

"You've actually already broken through to the Grandmaster level!"

"It's good to know!"

Du Sha swung out sword energy with an iron hook, but was blocked by Master Ji with a knife light. Then he slapped the ground with his palm, aiming the palm wind at Qi Zimu.

Master Ji quickly shook him off, returned to cut off the palm wind, then grabbed Qi Zimu and turned to run towards the alliance army.

But he just ran away.

Du Sha didn't dare to chase him.

If he really chased the alliance army and the other side's masters came out in full force, he would probably not be able to escape back to the barracks and would be surrounded and killed.

"Hahaha, the so-called Eighteen Heroes are just these dirtbags?"

Du Sha laughed and mocked.

In the military camp of the Sun Moon Sect behind, thunderous mocking laughter also rang out in coordination, making the faces of Zuo Lengchan and others on the opposite side turn black.

Master Ji returned to the Alliance and said, "Du Sha is cunning! He is not an innate cultivator at all, but has already broken through to the Grandmaster realm. I am concerned about my nephew, so I am unable to fight him."

Zuo Lengchan hurriedly said, "Master Ji, please take Sect Master Qi to the rear for treatment. I will avenge Sect Master Qi later."

"Thank you, leader."

Master Ji clasped his fists and quickly left with Qi Zimu.

Zuo Lengchan looked back at everyone and said, "Du Sha has actually reached the Grandmaster level. He's quite lucky. But his luck is about to end today. Who's going to take him down?"

His eyes swept over Fang Zheng and the other two, Lu Xiaofeng, and Li Xunhuan.

Du Sha used to be the leader of the ten evil men, and now he has broken through to the Grandmaster level and is even stronger.

I'm afraid these are the only ones who can say they are sure to win.

At this time, another person stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, leader, I can kill Du!"

Zuo Lengchan took one look and thought, "Demon Blade Yi Jue? This man once killed two Grandmasters in a single battle, so he certainly has the ability to kill Du Sha. But Yueying Sect and Qijue Hall have a deep hatred. Previously, Qi Zimu was defeated by Du Sha in a single blow. If he were to kill Du Sha now, wouldn't that be trampling on the reputation of Yueying Sect?"

The Moon Shadow Sect and the Seven Absolutes Hall are both forces within the alliance, and both have powerful masters.

There is a contradiction between the two, but it has always been suppressed.

If such a fight happens again, the conflict between the two sides will probably become even deeper.

Zuo Lengchan naturally didn't want to see his alliance fighting among themselves, so he was hesitant for a while.

Gui Hai Yidao didn't wait for his response before he jumped into the battlefield.

"Damn it!"

Zuo Lengchan's face darkened and he thought to himself: You really don't take me, the leader, seriously.

Then he thought that he could ask Fang Zheng or someone else to take action at the same time. In this way, killing Du Sha would also be considered Fang Zheng's achievement.

This may help to suppress the conflict between the two sides.

Thinking of this, he immediately turned sideways and whispered, "Master Fang Zheng..."

"Wow!"

"What? What just happened?"

“Du Sha… was killed!”

There was an uproar in the alliance, interrupting Zuo Lengchan's words.

Zuo Lengchan was stunned, but saw that on the battlefield, one of the two men had fallen and the other was standing.

Du Sha, who had been killing everyone before, had now fallen to the ground and was dead.

And Yi Jue had already put the famous magic sword in his hand back into the scabbard.

Zuo Lengchan was shocked: "What happened just now? Why did Du Sha die?"

Ding Mian was also extremely surprised and said, "I don't know either... I just saw Yi Jue draw his sword and attack, and Du Sha was... killed!"

"This this……"

Zuo Lengchan found it hard to believe, but the ironclad fact was right before his eyes.

He suddenly remembered that there was a rumor that when Demon Sword Yi Jue killed the two masters of Yueying Sect, he was only at the innate perfection realm.

He just thought it was a rumor.

Now it seems... maybe it's true!

Only a genius of that level can, after truly breaking through to the Grandmaster level, kill Grandmasters of the same level like slaughtering dogs!
While thinking, Yi Jue had already turned back.

Zuo Lengchan didn't care about anything else and immediately took the initiative to greet him with a smile on his face: "Hahaha, the ancient hero Guan Yu once killed Hua Xiong with a warm wine in front of Sishui Pass. Now, Master Yi has swung his sword for only a moment and killed Bloody Hand Du. If this gets out, it will surely make the world famous!"

Gui Hai Yidao clasped his fists and said, "Alliance Master, your praise is unbelievable."

Then he returned to his original position.

Zuo Lengchan shouted to the opposing military camp, "I heard they were the Left and Right Envoys of Light of your Sun Moon Divine Sect, whose status is only second to the Sect Leader. How come they are such a worthless bunch? It seems your Sect Leader isn't that great after all!"

Ren Woxing! What do you think? You, the Left Envoy of Light, dare to come out and fight my alliance?!

Ren Woxing laughed heartily and said, "Why not?"

Then he rushed down the earthen wall and shouted, "Zuo Lengchan, don't try to bully me. I'm already down. Do you dare to fight me?"

Zuo Lengchan was suddenly speechless.

"Hahaha……"

Ren Woxing laughed wildly: "Don't you dare? So the so-called leader of the alliance is this kind of bastard? If that's the case, I advise you to go home and suck your mother's milk!"
