Tongchenyuan received constant intelligence, and they all said that the demon cultivators had mobilized their mighty soldiers, walking on the blue waves as if they were flat ground, and coming to kill them in mighty force.
The Third Route Army crossed the river and crossed the sea to advance. With the majestic momentum that was determined by the first battle, the main army reached Xiazhai outside the Zixia Mountain Pass. The left and right wings each led thousands of troops and invaded Fuyu Bay and Shenzhou Island.
Luo Wangshu hurriedly summoned Liu Ruoxi and Qing Ming for discussion, saying: "As expected, Xi Yaoguo implemented a strategy of dividing his troops. The situation is urgent, what strategy should we use to retreat from the enemy?"
"Xi Yao wanted to fight quickly, so he led his army straight to the Zixia Mountain Pass. He used his two wings to contain the reinforcements from Shenzhou Island and Fuyu Bay, intending to attack the place I must save." Liu Ruoxi said, "When the enemy troops arrive, We are not eager to go straight to the battle on Shenzhou Island, but choose a place to camp so that the two armies can confront each other and disrupt the Allied forces' layout."
Luo Wangshu frowned and said: "The commander's camp is a mixed bag of good and bad, and Li Xiaoyang is not a talent for planning wars. Without reinforcements, I am afraid it will be difficult to withstand the demon cultivator's attack."
Qing Ming suddenly said: "I wonder what Li Xiaoyang said about what he said before?"
Luo Wangshu said: "Li Xiaoyang doesn't dare to be perfunctory about whether his rise or fall depends on it. His words have been well prepared."
Qing Ming sighed: "I just hope that these upright and powerful people will not disappoint people too much."
Luo Wangshu said: "We can rush to the rescue of Zixia Mountain after retreating from the enemy's rear. If Huaqing and Jialan cannot hold on for several days, it is better to hand over this vast China to others, which can also avoid many killings."
After a short discussion, Luo Wangshu sent an order to all the cultivators to gather in the court to listen to Liu Ruoxi's dispatches.
Liu Ruoxi did his duty, and immediately avoided the complicated and kept it simple, saying that it was only necessary to do this, this, and this, and urged the cultivators to act according to the order and not to waste the opportunity to fight.
After the allocation was completed, the cultivators only knew the details but not the whole picture, and they all felt confused and uncertain.
※
At dusk the next day, the enemy troops moved slowly, riding skeleton horses to a hundred miles northeast of the sunken boat, and set up camp in the water. The nameless formation is laid out, with seven vertical and thirteen horizontal formations, horizontal in front and vertical in back, with a certain degree of density.
The skeleton horse is as light as a feather, does not sink when exposed to water, and obeys orders in every move and movement. It is a puppet beast commonly used by demon cultivators to cross the sea.
This beast is completely black, with a silver saddle and bridle, and a clear jade placed between its eyebrows. The clear light shines in the puppet's shell, which not only makes it look majestic, but also can release a light curtain to protect it from wind and rain when camping.
The commander-in-chief, Feng Miao, and the deputy general, Xirun, were both demon cultivators in the Kong Ming period mentioned many times in the intelligence. They talked and laughed freely, sitting firmly in the center of the army, drinking with each other.
Feng Miao said proudly: "I heard that Luo Wangshu's promotion period is less than a hundred years, so why bother to deal with such a low-level advance? Just attack directly."
Xi Run admonished: "Luo Wangshu was a talented person in this world. When he lived in the Saint Clan, his cultivation was still shallow, but few people could match his broad-mindedness and courage. The emperor praised him highly and warned him not to take it lightly. What's more, Shenzhou Island's defense is impregnable. It’s not advisable to attack by force.”
Feng Miao said disapprovingly: "Luo Wangshu waited for fatigue with sufficient strength, but missed the opportunity to cover up his unpreparedness. Perhaps it was not his intention to hold on but his lack of strategy. Our army can take advantage of the situation and seize this island, and the army will be able to advance and retreat with ease. Isn't that right? Isn’t it good?”
Xi Run insisted: "The emperor has warned us many times that this trip is intended to delay the reinforcements from Zixia Mountain, and we must not rush for quick success."
Feng Miao was a little unhappy, but he did not dare to disobey Xi Yao's order and swallowed his anger: "In the opinion of fellow Taoist, what should we do?"
Xi Run said: "Going to Ganlang Island, a hundred miles away to the west, it is the only way for Shen Zhou to reach Zixia Mountain. Xi is willing to send a thousand troops to guard it. If Luo Wangshu leads the crowd to help, he can intercept him halfway. At that time, please ask Brother Dao to lead the troops to support and attack from both front and rear. If the enemy is defeated, they can only retreat to Shenzhou Island and hold on until the Zixia Pass is defeated in a battle. We all have the credit."
Feng Miao thought for a while, then smiled and said, "This plan is feasible, and Feng is willing to adopt it."
Xi Run drank a full cup, then counted a thousand elite soldiers and set off happily.
The autumn moon is like frost, and the rolling waves are rolling forward, adding a bit of charm and mystery to the sea.
Watching Xi Run's army disappear in the hazy moonlight, Feng Miao slowly withdrew his gaze and ordered the release of the night patrol puppet Conch Beast, ordering his subordinates to take turns to meditate and rest in preparation for the fierce battle.
At the third watch, I suddenly heard a continuous whistle in the camp. The conch beast discovered the enemy and blew the conch as a warning.
The demon cultivator woke up from his dream. Suspecting that it was a sneak attack by the enemy, he went out of camp to prepare for battle.
After waiting for a long time, no one was seen. Just as he got into the belly of the skeleton horse to rest, the roar started again. A figure suddenly emerged from the bottom of the sea, screamed a few times at the edge of the formation, overturned a few puppets, and escaped through the water.
Feng Miao was worried about the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain and did not dare to pursue it rashly.
The harassment lasted for half a night, and the demon cultivator did not dare to meditate or rest his head on his pillow. He was very frightened and suspicious.
They barely managed to wait until dawn, but the wind could not bear the disturbance, and they wanted to retreat ten miles to find an island to live in.
As soon as the legion set out, it was reported that the battle flag was waving on Shenzhou Island. Luo Wangshu led more than a hundred of his men to rush to the aid of Zixia Mountain.
Feng Miao was overjoyed when he heard the news. He ordered his army to retreat slowly and set up a virtual camp on the rocks, waiting for Xi Run to send the message and kill him.
※
However, it is said that Xi Run urged his troops to rush at night, and when they arrived at a place, they saw five rock islands surrounded by waves chasing each other in the distance. At this point, the waves became as flat as a mirror, so he sent an order to set up camp, and sent out sentries to detect the movement while preparing for defense.
When the sky breaks, I will work carefully to report any unusual movements on Shenzhou Island.
Xirun stood alone in the air, waving his hands, thousands of puppet beans spread out on the sea surface, and instantly turned into puppets in yellow and green with archers waiting for the enemy. The demon cultivators were gearing up to fight.
Before Mao hour passed, the sky was dotted with alarms, and Luo Wangshu came with his army as expected.
Xi Run shouted from afar: "This road is blocked. Lord of the Garden, please stay!"
The Tongchen cultivators looked around and saw an army of monsters already lined up and waiting. Only a small group of monsters had scales on their bodies, which looked a little weird. The rest of them looked the same as humans.
Luo Wangshu's tone was soft and gentle: "Brother, why do you come here to seek trouble for yourself when you are bathing in virtue?"
Xi Run was silent for a few breaths and said slowly: "The emperor's orders are like a mountain, I dare not disobey."
Luo Wangshu had a lot of thoughts and said sadly: "My little sister will always remember the sincere treatment you received from Mr. Meng in the past. However, now that we have met unexpectedly, we are no longer friends but enemies."
Recalling the past, all the scenes were vivid in his mind. Xi Run looked slightly dazed and breathed in: "Xi is just trying to show off the friendship of the landlord. The owner of the garden should step back a little, so as not to damage the old friendship."
Luo Wangshu sighed and said: "Since brother insists on fighting each other, don't blame me for bullying my guests."
Chief Xi Runang smiled and said: "I think back in those days, when the Master of the Garden crossed the sea by virtue of his cultivation as an infant, and escaped safely under the attack of Qinglong and Xuanwu. Every time he mentioned this, the emperor praised the Master of the Garden as the best person in ancient and modern times. Xi I am not talented, but I am willing to be bold enough to learn my magical powers."
The monks all over the place looked at each other in astonishment. It was unheard of in the world for someone to cross the sea alone. Unless he was a man of extraordinary ability, unparalleled intelligence and luck, he would not dare to think of crossing the sea.
Canghai originated in the prehistoric period, transitioned from the ancient times to ancient times, and continues to the present day. It has experienced the ages, and countless cruel monsters have been born, and it has become a dangerous place unprecedented in the world. Even according to rumors, it is the place where the two saints of Sun Zhuzhao and Taiyin Youying achieved enlightenment.
The beasts in the sea have strange shapes, with bodies as big as mountains, and violent and murderous temperaments. They swim in the sea, sometimes making waves, and sometimes disappearing, which makes people's faces change when they hear them.
It seems that the legend about Luo Wangshu in the world of cultivation is too understated. The truth about him crossing the sea and traveling to the holy land of the demon tribe makes the Tongchen disciples feel swayed and deeply honored.
Xirun was cautious, and while ordering his best efforts to hold back the supporting troops, he secretly sent a message to Feng Miao to help immediately.
Luo Wangshu never liked nonsense, so he immediately waved his sleeves to signal that he would defeat the enemy.
Wanlifeng took the lead in the battle, raised the Rigel Star Picture Sword and went straight to the enemy's nest.
This sword is majestic and domineering. The sword's spine is engraved with the Rigel star pattern. It is made from the three swords of Xing Zhixiang, Xing Zhiyuan, and Xing Zhiji. Between movement and stillness, a cold star light escapes.
The power of the heaven-level magic weapon is indeed unstoppable. The sword light as deep as the starry sky swept into the puppet team, and suddenly an hourglass-shaped open space exploded in the middle. Water spray splashed, and seven cold stars were faintly seen flying among the puppet group. The winner was Die immediately.
The rumbling explosion suddenly resounded in the ears, and the demon cultivators in the audience were shocked! They completely forgot to stop Wanli Feng from committing evil as soon as possible.
Xirun was filled with rage. He waved his finger and flicked out a Fang Tian painted halberd with purple light. The pole was engraved with dense runes. The tip of the halberd pierced the morning wind. The phantom of a golden-eyed purple flame beast showed its ferocity and came towards him. Caught in the air at the top of Wanli Peak.
Luo Wangshu's lotus steps flashed, and his moon-stepping sword leaped into the sky. The waves of the sword were emptied, and the shadows of the sword overlapped and staggered. They were about to be swallowed up by the flame beast in one sweep in mid-air.
When Xi Run performed the secret in the air, he saw the sky full of dim purple mist, golden talismans floating in the air, the purple cover like a cloud halberd, like a dragon flying around, jumping up and down, and shooting out several violent purple lightning attacks.
Luo Wangshu's Dao Finger changed, and the killing power contained in the Moon Stepping Sword was completely ignited. A powerful sword intent stirred up raging waves, accompanied by a thunderous roar, pouring down like a river of stars, facing Xi Run and fighting bravely to kill him.
Two huge forces collided, rainbows danced wildly in the sky, and strange light surged in turbulence.
In the strong wind, Xi Run waved his divine halberd again, and a purple cloud-like air rose up, covering the sky and blocking the sun, followed by dense purple lightning that split and fell randomly.
Luo Wangshu retreated and advanced again. With a flick of his bright wrist, a curve like a frosty cold moon suddenly emerged from the waves of the immortal sword.
The clear and cold new moon bloomed with extremely pure brilliance, and the void glowed with an ethereal and obscure charm. With a flick of the finger, the crescent moon flew into the depths of the purple clouds like a fairy bird emerging from its cage.
Just like burning oil cooking oil, flowers blooming in brocade, purple clouds explode instantly, blooming into colorful flowers. The splendor and beauty when they burst are very stunning.
Going back and forth, neither of them spared their vast and domineering magical powers. Xi Run was hit by two killing moves in a row and was secretly frightened. He straightened up his divine halberd and fought again. The wind was blowing fiercely. Luo Wangshu acted carelessly and chose to fight at close quarters.
The divine halberd is either hooked or pecked, vigorous and clumsy. The fairy sword can be cut or picked, elegant and swift. In this fight, they directly abandoned the killing moves of vertical and horizontal movements and shrank down to fight in a space of about ten feet. It seemed extremely dangerous.
A wave of sound like a roaring tsunami flew up from Ganlang Island, the puppet archer drew his bow like a full moon, and the shadows of green and yellow arrows flew away from the string like thunder.
昘昘! The sound is endless.
A dense rain of arrows swooped down, all with the power of shooting rocks and drinking feathers.
Yu crossed the water and plucked the purple-green gourd from his waist. When he moved it, the clouds spread out. The clouds rolled past and sucked the arrow rain from the sky into the bottom of the gourd like a long whale absorbing water.
This gourd is an ancient immortal magic weapon obtained from Tanggu. It is named Guaiguai gourd and has endless magical uses.
The demon cultivators were stunned when they saw it. Before they could stop them, the Tongchen cultivators took the opportunity to charge into the formation.
Led by Wanli Feng, Yu Dushui and Lin Mo, they advanced suddenly. The enemy's formation was like a wave of waves, and the defense line collapsed instantly.
