Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 292 The rosy dawn serves as paper, upon which the Thirty-Six Stratagems are written, along with the Merit and Spiritual Treasure, the Geng Metal White Tiger.

Of course, the Thirty-Six Stratagems cannot compare to the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array. However, the Thirty-Six Stratagems is a source, a representative, enabling the human race to continuously create new military strategies and supernatural abilities to enhance the strength of the human army.

Such a feat naturally led to an increase in the fortune of the human race, and also caused a surge in the fortune of the Tang Dynasty.

Inside the Fire Cloud Cave, many human sages sensed the change in fortune and turned to look. They instantly understood the changes in the human race and learned about the founding of Emperor Xiao.

They were equally excited and joyful. They knew that another sage capable of leading human civilization had emerged. Even though Di Xiao's cultivation level was not high at present, the power he brought far surpassed that of many strong individuals.

Just as Han Xin and Zhang Liang were celebrating and chatting, an order came down.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang's expression changed slightly: "As expected, the sages within the Fire Cloud Cave value Di Xiao even more. The previously established ranking of the prodigies has advanced further, and the aura bestowed upon Di Xiao has increased even more. They've even ordered sages from within the Fire Cloud Cave to secretly protect him."

Han Xin was not surprised by this: "Di Xiao's attainments are the result of his own hard work. Although Di Xiao's cultivation level is not high now, his potential is limitless. The fourth level of the Defilement Severing Technique sent by the Tang Dynasty, as well as the improved first level of the Defilement Severing Technique, made Di Xiao a sixth-grade prodigy among humans. So now, it is only natural to define Di Xiao as a first-grade prodigy."

"Yes! Human geniuses are divided into nine ranks, with the ninth rank being the lowest and the first rank the highest. Each rank of genius represents different levels of support. Especially the support for a first-rank genius, setting aside resources, just the fortune bestowed upon them by the human race is comparable to that of the founders of various dynasties," Han Xin remarked with emotion.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Because we've been in contact with Di Xiao before, the Ancestor and the others have ordered us to act as Di Xiao's protectors. So we'll be very busy from now on!" Zhang Liang shook his head, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more.

"Haha... I guess it's not just the two of us. Emperor Taizong of Tang will also send powerful figures to protect Di Xiao. After all, Di Xiao is helping his Li family dynasty prolong its life, and may even be able to help his dynasty advance further."

Han Xin also laughed heartily.

They talked like this, exchanged glances, and then quietly left the Fire Cloud Cave, heading towards where Emperor Xiao was.

Di Xiao was completely unaware of all the changes inside the Fire Cloud Cave.

Emperor Xiao is still fighting hard and still employing the Thirty-Six Stratagems.

Having employed eighteen of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, Di Xiao felt increasingly weary. Although using military techniques had exhausted the strength of all his soldiers, the process ultimately required Di Xiao's control and guidance.

This process also took a heavy toll on Di Xiao's mental energy. Especially now that Di Xiao's cultivation level is not high, his spiritual energy has long since reached its limit.

Di Xiao felt a pain between his brows, but a smile played on his lips: "Although I'm close to my limit, it's enough. The eighteen military techniques have already annihilated most of the enemy army. The remaining demon soldiers are no threat at all. Moreover, with the help of these military techniques, even the eight demon kings have suffered heavy injuries."

"Heh... This battle was won by our White Tiger Army. And what follows is slaughter. Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, the best is to flee!"

Di Xiao curled his lips into a smile, and unleashed the final stratagem of the Thirty-Six Stratagems. It was also the last of his military tactics.

After this supernatural power was used, the wind was light and the clouds were calm, as if a gentle stream was flowing through everyone.

Immediately, the fog and chaos dissipated from the vast battlefield, leaving behind only the remaining demon soldiers and the ever-growing White Tiger army.

Seeing the battlefield cleared and the enemy routed, countless White Tiger soldiers shouted excitedly.

Di Xiao then ordered: "All generals, heed my command! Slaughter the demon soldiers and the enemy. Only the dead demons are good demons."

The words, brimming with murderous intent, swept over all the soldiers like a tsunami.

In an instant, countless soldiers roared in fury: "We obey the young general's orders, kill, kill, kill..."

The soldiers already respected General Di Xiao, but now that he had displayed extraordinary military prowess, leading them to victory against the demon race, their admiration only grew.

Di Xiao. Even though Di Xiao's cultivation level wasn't high, in their eyes, Di Xiao was so great.

In an instant, countless soldiers charged forward with roars.

As they charged forward, they suddenly discovered they were moving faster. The already routed demon soldiers had no chance of escape and were quickly overtaken.

This speed is what makes the "retreat is the best policy" of the Thirty-Six Stratagems unique. The core of this policy is not some kind of killing or defensive military strategy, but rather a special kind of auxiliary strategy.

It can increase the speed of one's own army. Whether chasing enemies or escaping, it has endless uses.

Using it to hunt down the defeated demon soldiers is a waste of its potential.

"Damn it! Why are these humans so fast!"

The fleeing demon soldiers were terrified when they saw the human army that had caught up with them.

They had made full preparations, and when they saw their demon king shatter the human race's formation with his Divine Transformation Blood Blade, they were excited and believed that they would definitely be able to invade the human world this time.

Unexpectedly, everything changed in just a few days. When they rushed over, they were completely outmaneuvered by those inexplicable supernatural powers.

Then came the rout, and their own demon king was severely injured. Now they are fleeing in a sorry state.

Regardless, they lost this battle. They were caught one by one and slaughtered. Any attempt to resist was futile.

Of the demon soldiers and barbarian army that ultimately attacked, a staggering 99% perished, with only a few thousand managing to escape safely.

Even the eight demon kings are now entangled, and their demise is imminent.

"Kill..." General Red Tiger raised the long spear in his hand, a spiritual treasure and his most powerful weapon. With his cultivation at the Taiyi realm, accompanied by the weapon, he unleashed a divine power that instantly struck the demon king before him.

The demon king, already severely injured, was visibly tense, his eyes flashing with fear: "No..."

Unfortunately, death awaited him. With a deafening explosion, the demon king at the Taiyi realm was instantly beheaded. The powerful divine power further annihilated his soul, revealing his true form. It was a boar demon as large as a mountain, exuding a dense demonic aura and bloodlust.

General Red Tiger roared with excitement as he watched the Demon King beheaded. But then, seeing his brothers fighting, he immediately went to their aid.

While the strong generally disdain encirclement and attack, this is a disadvantage for armies. No matter how strong you are, encirclement and attack are the only options when facing an enemy.

With the addition of General Red Tiger, the Demon King, who was already at a disadvantage, was on the verge of collapse.

"Sizzle..."

Another demon king was slain, and after revealing his true form, he fell to the earth, causing a tremor.
