What an exquisite four-image formation! However, the cultivation level of this great demon protector has probably reached the peak state of Daluo Golden Immortal, and it cannot be resisted by the combined efforts of the four nobles. "
"I looked at the girl a little confused. The military is in danger right now. The girl really shouldn't come to Zhenguan City to wade in such muddy waters..."
As soon as Mrs. Wu and her party of five appeared, senior fellow apprentice Alai and four Buddhist masters immediately surrounded the "black-robed" protector.
Knowing that the other party has great magical powers, he didn't even dare to make any probing moves. The most powerful joint attack technique of the four of them was the "Four Elephants Diamond Formation", which used defense to lead offense, and defense to attack.
"The difference between what Marshal Li said is, to put it more broadly, the little girl is also a member of the Tang Dynasty. How can I stand by and watch when the demons are ravaging the people of the Tang Dynasty like this?"
"Taking it from the perspective of my late father, this little girl has to call the Generalissimo 'Uncle Li.' It happens that Uncle Li is in trouble, so it makes sense to help him."
Lady Wu said while observing her surroundings.
She expected that "Black Robe" would make a surprise attack on "Central Wuji Earth", intending to completely destroy the Five Elements Protection Formation in order to achieve his goal of killing millions of creatures.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Wu did not expect that in addition to the "Black Robe" Great Protector herself, the demon clan would also come with four "Continental Golden Immortal" level masters.
In this way, if no one can come in to help in a short time, I'm afraid they really won't be able to take down the "black robe" in front of them.
"Oh, I wonder what the girl's name is? Who is your ancestor?"
After listening to the other party's words, Pharmacist Li thought to himself, it's a pity that Mrs. Wu's face is also partially covered by a veil, and Pharmacist Li can't see clearly.
"My late father was the late Duke Ying, whose surname was Wu Tao Shi Yu. My little girl is his unfilial daughter Wu Yue, and she is the second eldest child in the family."
Mrs. Wu said slowly, neither submissive nor eager to get married. It was so natural, as if she was making an ordinary introduction.
In fact, Mrs. Wu's heart was beating non-stop.
She is a person with great ambitions, but unfortunately, she has been dormant in Chang'an City for so many years and secretly assisted Li Tai, the king of Wei, but in the end she was a person who could not hold up the wall.
Wealth is sought in danger. This time in Northern Xinjiang, Madam Wu made a desperate move. The four Vajra protectors around her were the greatest help that Master provided to her when she came to Lingshan.
If all four of them were taken out, the initial idea in her mind could not be achieved, and even Mrs. Wu herself would not know what to do next.
"Are you the daughter of the warrior Xun? Ying Guogong was generous throughout his life and was best at managing things. He has passed away in the past. I didn't expect that his daughter-in-law has grown up so much. She also has a good cultivation. It is gratifying and congratulatory - —"
Medicine Master Li was really happy to hear Mrs. Wu announcing her family status.
To be honest, Li Yaoshi was seven or eight years older than the deceased warrior Yu. Unfortunately, he was only a merchant and had no chance to practice Buddhism. He could be considered to have lived a long life if he lived to be nearly seventy years old.
"The Generalissimo has been overrated. Now that demons are raging in the Tang Dynasty, the little girl wishes she could hold a sword on the battlefield and kill the demons with her hands. It's a pity that as a woman, she will always be criticized when she shows up..."
Seeing the look of surprise and appreciation in Li Yaoshi's eyes, Mrs. Wu knew that she had taken the right step, but the language she spoke was still full of helplessness and unwillingness.
"Haha, since she is the daughter of Duke Ying, there is no need to call me Marshal. Just call me uncle."
"Besides, we are in troubled times now. How can our good niece be buried in vain if she has such abilities? In my dynasty, Princess Pingyang was at the forefront, and today's Princess Protector is also a woman who cannot be outdone by men."
"If my virtuous niece is interested, she might as well stay in my demon-suppressing army. On the one hand, the Tang Dynasty is in a period of hiring people, and on the other hand, it can satisfy my virtuous niece's desire to serve the country. Why not?"
How can Master Li be an ordinary person?
Neither has the pedantry of ordinary people, but also has many experiences
Jian Guang, besides, he really fell in love with Lady Wu and the four Buddhist masters she brought.
Li Yaoshi could not confirm what state the "Black Robe" Great Protector was in. However, before leaving, Tang Emperor Li Zhi introduced him to the Demon Clan's powerful general in detail.
In particular, Li Zhi is very familiar with this "black robe" protector. Once he dies, his realm will rise by one level, and his combat power will double.
Li Zhi is not sure if he can still encounter "Black Robe", but once the opponent comes back again, it will be the peak state of "Daluo Golden Immortal".
And for such a great master of the demon clan, the four Buddhist monks in the field actually relied on the "Four Elephant Vajra Formation" to deal with him all the time.
"Thanks to Uncle Li for not giving up, this little girl is willing to serve under his uncle and fight for my country, the Tang Dynasty, through fire and water, even to the death——"
Madam Wu was waiting for Medicine Master Li's words, and she hurriedly bowed down and even performed a military salute.
With a flash of figure, Mrs. Wu has changed into a pair of "soft red thin armor", and even wears a golden visor on her face. Only her two eyes and cherry mouth are exposed, and her heroic spirit is undoubtedly revealed.
"Uncle Li, I'm afraid these four senior brothers won't be able to hold on for long. The little girl will come forward to help. You should immediately beat the drum and gather the generals and give orders to the four gates."
"This black-robed surprise attack that took so much effort has now come to nothing. It may not be possible to defeat the enemy."
After Mrs. Wu finished speaking, she didn't wait for Pharmacist Li's reply. We are all smart people, and some words may not be said too clearly.
The "black robe" in the field was already a little impatient. Four bald donkeys in the realm of "Taiyi Golden Immortal" appeared out of nowhere. With a mere four-image formation, they were able to explode with a power comparable to the peak of "Daluo Golden Immortal". Strength?
"Since you have come here to seek death, I will send you to meet your Tathagata Buddha——"
The staff in his hand was waved repeatedly, and at the same time, a "python shadow" appeared behind his head. This was the most powerful magical power of "Black Robe", which he had used in the demon world.
It was this "Python Shadow" that even lowered Rutoro's realm by a large level when it defeated the fire spirit of "True Sun Fire".
At that time, the "Black Robe" was only in the middle stage of the "Daluo Golden Immortal", and this "Python Shadow" could only be used as a trump card.
And now that "Black Robe" has reached the peak of "Daluo Golden Immortal", "Python Shadow" has become his regular magical power, which is completely different from the same.
...
"In heaven and on earth, my Buddha reincarnates, Maitreya comes to the world, King Kong subdues demons——"
Seeing "Black Robe" using his magical powers, the "Four Elephants Diamond Formation" of the four senior brothers Alai was also overwhelmed and was about to collapse in an instant.
Madam Wu did not dare to be negligent, she muttered words and directly expressed the supreme Buddhist power taught by her master.
"The Great Maitreya Sword——"
I saw that the originally very slender sword in her hand, with the blessing of the "Big Maitreya Sword", directly grew into a sword light more than three feet long.
The golden sword glow is full of compassion?
Under the above situation, it seems that the sky will be pierced by it.
"Mrs. Wu, you...how could you do this?——"
As soon as the "Great Maitreya Sword" sword light was generated, Senior Brother Alai, who was running the "Four Symbols Vajra Formation", noticed it.
He is the most powerful among the four. He is at the peak of the "Taiyi Golden Immortal" level, and half of him is ready to join the "Daluo Golden Immortal" level.
This "Great Maitreya Sword" is the secret of Maitreya Buddha who came from the East. Among all his disciples, it was passed down to Lady Wu.
There have long been rumors in the West that this Lady Wu is none other than the "good corpse" killed by Maitreya Buddha.
It's a pity that not many people dare to go to Maitreya Buddha for verification. Even if someone does ask, I'm afraid they can only get a "haha" smile.
It's a pity that Lady Wu is still a woman, and her cultivation level is only at the Taiyi realm. The evil power of the "Great Maitreya Sword" is only
It's only 50%.
However, the clever Lady Wu did not directly attack the "Black Robe" with the power of the "Great Maitreya Sword". That would just be a tactic to add fuel to the fire.
Instead, the power of the "Great Maitreya Sword" was directly transmitted to the "Four Elephants Diamond Formation" of Senior Brother Alai and four others.
As a result, this "Four Elephants Diamond Formation" has undergone great changes. It was originally a formation that was used to defend the strong and attack the weak, and focused on trapping. Now it has become both offensive and defensive.
"Four senior brothers, we must trap this demon. Once the Five Elements Protection Formation in Zhenguan City operates normally, the threat of this demon will be greatly reduced."
Lady Wu is really ruthless, ruthless to others and ruthless to herself. She sends out all her magic power for free, gritting her teeth and operating the "Great Maitreya Sword" that is beyond her realm.
Lady Wu was not only cheering up the four senior brothers present, but also further reminding Li Yaoshi who had already begun to summon the generals. She also wanted to put pressure on the trapped "black robe" in the formation.
"Wow, junior, it turns out that you guys are the disciples of that fat Maitreya, and this account will be recorded on that fat bald donkey's head——"
The "Black Robe" activated the "Python Shadow" twice in a row, and even almost tore through the defense of the "Four Elephant Diamond Formation", but was forced back by the "Big Maitreya Sword".
At this time, monks from Tang Camp had already arrived for reinforcements, and the first one to arrive was actually the Wolf Lord Yu Wenpo from "Tianlang Mountain".
"Lord Yuwen Wolf, is the east gate okay?——"
Yu Wenpo was the commander of the East Gate ambush appointed by Li Yaoshi, and he was also the only ambush soldier with two "Daluo Jinxian". When he saw Yu Wenpo coming to help in person, Li Yaoshi couldn't help but ask.
"Generalissimo, please rest assured. Most of the demon thieves who attacked the east gate have been wiped out. Only a few demons seem to have fled towards the north gate."
"The sons of Tianlang Mountain were wiping out the remnants of the demon clan in the east gate. On the way, a demon clan named Daluo Jinxian intercepted them. Fortunately, the second elder Yuwen Gong took him over."
In a battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people, what they really compete for is the most high-end combat power. With the addition of a "Daluo Jinxian" expert, there is an extra chance of winning and guarantee.
"puff--"
At this moment, Mrs. Wu finally couldn't stand it any longer. From the corner of her eye, she saw strong reinforcements arriving from the Tang camp.
Turning his eyes and gritting his teeth, he used up all his magic power and swung out the "Big Maitreya Sword", directly slashing at the "Python Shadow" behind the "Black Robe".
The "black robe"'s offensive fell, and it seemed that she had suffered some trauma, but Lady Wu vomited blood and fell into the dust.
"Wonderful niece—quick, Lord Yuwen Wolf, please take action to capture this demon—"
Seeing Lady Wu falling from the sky, Li Jing threw away the drumsticks gathered by the generals and flew forward to pick up Lady Wu who landed on the ground.
The problem was a bit serious. At this time, Mrs. Wu's mana had been exhausted, and she was counterattacked by the "python shadow" of the "black robe", and the meridians all over her body were misaligned.
"My virtuous niece, you must hold on, until I protect your three souls and seven souls——"
Even though Pharmacist Li had the word "pharmacist" in his name, there was no way to recover from such a serious injury.
He had no choice but to sacrifice his own cultivation and personally use secret methods to protect the three souls and seven souls for Madam Wu.
For those of them who have reached the realm of "Taiyi Golden Immortal", as long as the three souls and seven souls are still there, even if the physical body is completely destroyed, there is always a way to be rescued.
"General Marshal, the general is back to give orders! There are not many demon thieves left in the south gate. His Royal Highness Prince Liang and General Liu are cleaning up the aftermath. Demon General Lu is entangled by a demon clan's Daluo Jinxian. The general's Mo There are less than two hundred people left in the Sword Army..."
Such a tough Cheng Wuting was kneeling on one knee in front of Li Yaoshi, on his head, arms, back, thighs...
I'm afraid he doesn't even know how many injuries he has suffered this week.
After suffering so many injuries, Cheng
Wu Ting didn't even frown. When he said that the two thousand Mo Dao army he led was not even one out of ten, this iron-clad man finally shed a few tears.
"Get up, you are all good men of the Tang Dynasty! Wu Ting, you are responsible for gathering the generals. You must maintain the normal operation of the Five Elements Protection Formation. If you can reduce a little damage, try to keep some fire for him in the Tang Dynasty."
Seeing that Yu Wenpo had joined the battle group, and that the "Four Elephants Diamond Formation" was helping him, and that the "black robe" protector could not make any waves for the time being, Li Yaoshi directly hugged the unconscious Lady Wu and left the battlefield. .
...
Three days later, Prince Liang's residence.
"King Liang, Grand Marshal Qi, the damage caused by the demon siege has been calculated. Please take a look at it——"
Xu Jingzong, who was accompanying the Demon-Conquering Army, brought up a thick stack of silk cloth with trembling hands.
Even though he had been prepared in advance, when the numbers were completely sorted out, Xu Jingzong, who always prided himself on being thoughtful, was still shocked.
In a big battle, the demon clan only invested about 5,000 troops, but they mobilized nearly 200,000 Tang people.
When it comes to "win or lose", even Pharmacist Li can't come to a conclusion.
"Zhenguan City" was defended, and more than one million people in the city survived. Unfortunately, of the more than 50,000 Tang soldiers, only just over 20,000 could continue to breathe.
There were not many demons who escaped, and it was estimated that there would be no more than a hundred or ten demons. Even "Shengnati" among the "Six Spiritual Generals" "died" in the hands of Indra.
It was also Indra's timely arrival, combined with the power of the two "Daluo Golden Immortals" of Indra and Yu Wenpo, and the "Four Elephant Vajra Formation" whose power was not at the peak of the "Daluo Golden Immortal", that allowed "Black "Pao" had to admit that the situation was over and fled in panic.
"Search out as many of these fallen soldiers as possible whose bodies can be found. For those whose bodies cannot be found, prepare a brand new military uniform and engrave the soldiers' heroic names on it."
"I and the Generalissimo shall jointly submit a petition to Your Majesty to erect a monument and write a memorial to these fallen soldiers outside Zhenguan City——"
Li Ke, Prince of Liang, took it over first and looked at it carefully, tears already welling up in his eyes.
They are all raised by their parents, nearly thirty thousand good sons and daughters!
They are also flesh and blood, they are also other people's sons, other people's husbands, other people's fathers, and now they can only sleep in the hot land of the north.
"His Royal Highness King Liang, after this battle, the demons who want to come to the north can no longer cause trouble. The purpose of my expedition has been basically completed."
Li Yaoshi also read the battle damage report, and it was not much different from what he expected. This was also the most difficult and dangerous battle he had ever experienced in his military life.
"I will take my own bodyguard back to Chang'an. The other generals and friends who came to help will temporarily stay in Zhenguan City."
Most of the demons in the north have been killed. Once the demons were wiped out, most of the people of the Tang Dynasty who had been controlled by evil recovered.
Unfortunately, of the nearly 200,000 people, less than 50,000 actually survived intact.
The reason why Medicine Master Li proposed to let everyone stay in "Zhenguan City" temporarily was to wait for the imperial court's reward, and secondly, to prevent the "black robe" from killing another carbine.
Although, the possibility of "Black Robe" coming back again is not very high, but what if there is one in thousands of miles?
"Generalissimo, that martial girl?——"
Medicine Master Li did not hide anything about Mrs. Wu, and introduced her in detail in front of everyone, including her origins, how she came to help, and her current situation.
In another thick merit book, Lady Wu's name was also ranked among the top three.
As the saying goes, there is no greater merit than rescuing someone. Although the person Wu Lady saved was not His Majesty the Emperor, she was also the commander-in-chief of an army.
If she and her four senior brothers hadn't appeared in time, Yaoshi Li's cultivation and combat power alone might not have been able to withstand the "black robe" for several rounds.
Once you are captured alive by the "Black Robe" Great Protector, you won't be able to stop him if you are searching for souls.
of.
If the five-element protective array of "Zhenguan City" is destroyed, all the demons will be able to drive straight in. The 200,000 people whose minds are controlled by the demons will be so powerful. What if it is more than one million?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty Prince Liang. I will personally escort her back to Chang'an. With Your Majesty here, I think we will be able to avert danger and turn danger into safety."
There were many capable men and strangers in the Tang army, including five "Daluo Jinxian", but none of them could save the severely injured Lady Wu.
Fortunately, Ao Ze, the second prince of Beihai Dragon Palace, presented a "Life-Extending Pill". Although it could not save Lady Wu, it was no longer necessary to maintain the status quo for half a year.
Now that Li Yaoshi is going back to Chang'an, the power of defense in the northern territory once again falls on Xu Maogong. There are also three "Daluo Jinxian" level combat power at his disposal, which is much stronger than before.
Rutuolo and Indra were going back, along with Li Yaoshi himself, the injured Lady Wu and her four Buddhist brothers, and the five hundred personal guards led by Cheng Wuting.
With the two Asura Demon Generals of the "Great Luo Golden Immortal" present, the safety along the way is naturally guaranteed. Even if the "black robe" appears again, they can always resist it for a while.
...
Chang'an City, Daming Palace.
It's already autumn. Autumn in Guanzhong came a little early this year. After a few storms, the leaves on the trees began to turn yellow and slowly fall with the wind.
"Kuroro, don't do this. Although the loss this time is quite heavy, in the end, it can be regarded as wiping out the demon clan in the north in one fell swoop."
"In addition to Qin Shubao's report a few days ago, there are now very few demons in our country. As long as this autumn and winter pass, everything will be fine."
Before Li Yaoshi's team returned to Beijing, the battle report from the northern border arrived first, and the one who came back to deliver the battle report was Hou Junji, who was born with quick legs.
Regarding Hou Junji, Li Zhi also changed his "initial" view of him. In other words, Li Zhi was too deeply influenced by "history".
When the three disciples of Pharmacist Li entered his "Prince Jin's Mansion" at the same time, Li Zhi valued Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian even more, and intentionally or unintentionally alienated Hou Junji.
In the past two years since the demons ravaged the Tang Dynasty, Hou Junji made several trips between the northern border and Chang'an, especially when he was intercepted and killed by demons several times on the way. Even though he was injured, Hou Junji still completed his mission. duty of.
All this naturally fell into the eyes of Li Zhi, which made him "feel guilty" for Hou Junji. At the same time, he also paid more attention to it, and directly passed on the "Black Feather Flying Cloud Technique" that he had obtained from Luzhou, Beiju, to Hou Junji. Junji.
As a result, without Hou Junji's knowledge, the popular figure before Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty was directly transferred to the "Li Jingmen".
"When Medicine Master Li returns to the capital in a few days, you and I will lead hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to greet him. Not only will we welcome Medicine Master Li who has returned in triumph, but we will also welcome the souls of those soldiers who have never returned—"
It was impossible to transport 30,000 corpses back. After discussion, Li Yaoshi and Li Ke jointly made a huge Tang military flag, wrote the names of all the victims on it, and returned to Beijing together.
"Kiuro, I heard that the lady from the Wu family came back with Marshal Li this time?..."
Seeing that Li Zhi's expression returned to normal, "Three Holy Mothers" Yang Chan asked, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
