Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

"An army of 30,000? Ridiculous!!"

"Is this the elite force of the Great Jin Dynasty? So utterly defeated?"

"They should have wiped out several thousand people. If we do it a few more times, they won't be able to leave a single one alive."

"Don't even mention 30,000, even if it were 300,000, they would all be wiped out here today."

When an army encounters an opponent of the Grandmaster or Great Grandmaster level, there are many special methods to deal with them. It is impossible to use piecemeal tactics and let them kill them one by one.

Facing a team of masters numbering in the thousands, whether it's 30,000, 300,000, or 3 million, it's still not enough.

The generals on the Jin Dynasty's side quickly realized what was happening.

"Quickly, call the servants!"

"Those at the Innate Realm move up, while those at the Acquired Realm provide support from behind."

Even so, they were still utterly routed by the sudden appearance of a grandmaster army.

The masters of the Great Jin Dynasty and the grasslands in the distance dared not show themselves at this time.

They are too few in number; against a team of masters with thousands of members, they would be wiped out immediately.

Seeing that there were no enemies around, Li Changqing notified everyone.

"Charge in and set it on fire!"

Their target was never the Jin army or its masters, but rather their supplies and provisions.

Even a master as powerful as a grandmaster, or a powerful being as carefree as a wandering immortal.

They also need to eat, and they need logistical and supply support.

If their food and logistics are cut off, the 600,000-strong army of the Great Jin and the grasslands simply cannot hold out. Even the combat power of these Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters will be greatly reduced.

On the one hand, they were hungry, and on the other hand, it was a matter of morale.

"good!"

"I haven't had enough fun yet!"

"Everyone, listen to the orders of Master Jinlong and don't cause any trouble. Let's complete the task assigned by the young prince first."

Although Prince Li Changqing of Qinghe did not appear, everyone already knew who they had pledged allegiance to.

Who will ultimately remember their battle?

With people around them offering advice, even the most notoriously unruly江湖豪强 (jianghu heroes) knew what they should do now.

They were either skilled in fire-based techniques, or they carried fire shields or torches.

In just a few breaths, thousands of flames ignited within the ranks.

From the perspective of the sky, the entire Grandmaster team of the Great Zhou Dynasty instantly transformed into a winding fire dragon.

Li Changqing took the lead and was about to lead his men to rush in.

Just then, the sound of a zither suddenly filled the air.

The music wasn't coming from one place, but from all directions. It gave the impression that their entire army of masters was completely surrounded by the opponent's music.

The music was stirring and passionate.

The masters in the team were inevitably affected; they felt their blood and qi surging within them.

On the other hand, the elite soldiers of the Jin Kingdom were only at the acquired or innate level.

Even if the main target of the music wasn't them, they were only affected by the aftereffects of the music.

They all collapsed to the ground in agony, some even bleeding from their nostrils and ears.

"Plug your ears!"

"It's the great god Tuoba!"

"My Lord, protect your people."

Only after being reminded by the general of the Jin Dynasty did everyone cover their ears and move away.

The Great Free and Unfettered Realm of the Duke of Qi's Mansion quietly arrived beside Li Changqing.

"Damn it, we've run into a tough opponent this time!"

"Do you know him?"

Li Changqing had never heard of this person before.

"He is the Grand Preceptor of the Great Jin Kingdom, Tuoba Sanjue. No one knows his real name. People only know that he is unparalleled in playing the zither, chess, and sword."

"With him in charge, our trip probably won't go so smoothly."

Of course, it just wasn't going smoothly.

Even if the opponent is a half-step Supreme Realm expert, there are far too many Grandmasters and Free and Unfettered Realm experts on their side of Great Zhou.

You can overwhelm your opponent by piling them up.

It's just that we can no longer advance unimpeded as before.

Once they encounter any obstacles, they will soon be surrounded by Jin soldiers.

Their weapons, hidden weapons, powders, and thunderbolts are specifically designed to counter grandmasters...

Then all of them can be taken out and used.

"I didn't expect them to be so cautious?"

Li Changqing nodded slightly.

Clearly, the Jin Dynasty had anticipated that their logistics and supplies might be attacked.

Besides the 30,000 elite troops, there were two to three hundred experts present who exuded the aura of Grandmasters. No fewer than twenty of them had reached the Free and Unfettered Realm.

There is also a half-step Supreme.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for Li Changqing leading the team, even if they had gathered over eight hundred grandmasters and nearly a hundred powerful cultivators at the Free and Unfettered Realm, they would have been completely defeated.

They might not succeed this time.

This is, after all, the enemy's territory. The longer this drags on, the faster their reinforcements will arrive.

They also gathered thousands of grandmasters and hundreds of powerful cultivators at the Free and Unfettered Realm.

They do not have a significant advantage in terms of strength or numbers.

We must buy time!

A cold glint flashed in Li Changqing's eyes. Of course, there was also a sonic power in the divine skill he created.

However, given Chen Changfeng's status, was it reasonable for him to use this sonic technique? This gave Li Changqing a moment's hesitation.

He watched as the Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters under his command experienced turbulent blood and qi within their bodies, resulting in a significant reduction in their strength.

Originally possessing full strength, he can now only utilize seven or eight tenths.

If we don't stop them, who knows how long Tuoba Sanjue, who is hiding in the shadows, will drag them out?

We can't delay any longer; the Grandmaster of the Great Jin Kingdom is only a few dozen miles away.

If they run at full speed, they might arrive to provide support in a quarter of an hour or two.

This information was gathered by the Beggars' Sect brothers.

Interestingly, the Jin Dynasty was very wary of the Beggars' Sect.

For any branch that is in the open, we will destroy it as soon as we see it.

This forced those Beggars' Sect branches to go underground and actively seek refuge with the Beggars' Sect headquarters of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Otherwise, they simply wouldn't be able to survive.

However, they were not particularly wary of the beggars themselves.

They probably thought that those ordinary beggars were not considered members of the Beggars' Sect at all.

Little did they know that these inconspicuous, seemingly harmless, and unskilled ordinary beggars helped Li Changqing find two crucial pieces of information.

One is the distribution of military masters and their logistical bases, and the other is their daily routines.

The beggars played a significant role in their success.

Afterwards, they were not only transferred, but also received a huge reward for them.

Having made up his mind, Li Changqing focused his energy in his dantian, and his aura suddenly changed.

"Chief Chen?"

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone present, whether from the Duke of Qi's mansion or other grandmasters and powerful figures, was astounded.

Their eyes showed disbelief.

They had no idea that the leader of the Beggars' Sect actually knew sonic power.

It should be noted that this is an extremely rare and uncommon cultivation technique. Once mastered, it will undoubtedly possess astonishing power, much like the music of Tuoba Sanjue's zither.

But getting started is too difficult, and cultivating to the level of divine skill is even more difficult.

How could he possibly be?
