At this time, the sky above Wuxian Ridge was completely dark. Zhen Guogong and Zhang San were fighting from day to night. The battle between the two sides was in full swing, and it had reached a critical moment when the winner was about to be determined.
I saw that the golden armor all over the Duke of Zhen's body was now in tatters due to Zhang San's bombardment, and he no longer regained his previous majesty and solemnity.
On the other hand, Zhang San, although he was covered in flesh and blood, his offensive became more and more fierce, driving the Duke of Zhen back step by step.
"Good boy!"
The more the fight continued, the more frightened the Duke of Zhen became. His hands were numb from the huge force of Zhang San's bombardment. He had been famous for a long time, especially after breaking through to the Half-Step Martial Saint. He asked himself that he was invincible even though he was beyond the realm. Who knew that he was invincible? He actually met Zhang San, a different species.
"boom!"
Zhang San punched again. This time, the golden light around Duke Zhen was almost scattered by the blast. His right wrist was completely broken, revealing the broken bones of his hand. He was obviously defeated.
However, it was at this moment that Duke Zhen Guo felt something in his heart. The threshold of transcendence that he had felt was within reach but could not break through with all possible means was now passing through the sea of consciousness like a meteor.
"Boom!"
Earth-shaking changes suddenly occurred in Zhenguo Gong's sea of consciousness. The light of the meteor was like a prairie fire, instantly illuminating every part of Zhen Guo Gong's sea of consciousness.
The sea of consciousness that was so stable before was like the creation of Pangu, shattering the hazy chaos and re-forming a huge space of sea of consciousness.
Even his physical body began to transform in a certain direction.
'Finally, is the breakthrough coming? '
Duke Zhen Guo let out a low roar in his heart. After breaking through half a step of martial arts, he witnessed the breakthroughs of Liu Sheng and Chongyang True Immortal. He had accumulated enough, but he had been unable to break through the legendary martial arts. Holy realm.
It wasn't until he saw Zhang San that he was overjoyed and fought fiercely with him. After helping Zhang San break through, he also found the key to breaking through the Martial Saint by chance.
'Sure enough, every drink and every peck counts! '
Duke Zhenguo thought to himself, if he hadn't admired Zhang San and helped him break through to the Half-Step Martial Saint, how could he have broken through to the Martial Saint.
Not far away, all the changes that took place in Zhen Guogong, how could they escape Zhang San's eyes and ears.
"In this case, Zhang will help the Duke again!"
While speaking, Zhang punched out again, and Duke Zhen Guo's entire body was immediately turned into a ball of blood mist.
However, the blood mist did not dissipate. Instead, it was like a spiritual life in the air, constantly rolling and rising, sometimes drifting away, and sometimes gathering.
"No, the Duke has fallen!"
The two warring parties below were obscured by the aftermath of the battle between Zhang San and Zhen Guogong, making it impossible to see the changes in the blood mist. Most people thought that Zhen Guogong had fallen.
For a moment, the Zhenguo Army, which had been fighting the Black Tiger Army and had an absolute upper hand in terms of numbers and other aspects, immediately fell into chaos.
The Black Tiger Army took advantage of the situation to pursue, but defeated the Zhenguo Army steadily.
Seeing this scene, Emperor Longqing could no longer stand by and watch. He flashed and immediately appeared in the sky above the battle between the two sides: "Soldiers, stop!"
Regarding the Black Tiger Army, Emperor Longqing wanted to use it to charge, but he was extremely afraid of it.
After all, compared to the Zhenguo Army and others who know the basics, the Black Tiger Army is mostly composed of bandits and refugees. The composition is complex and difficult to control.
He originally thought that after a great battle in southern Xinjiang, with the Black Tiger Army as the vanguard, they would be defeated by the demon clan.
Even if they can win, it will definitely be a miserable victory.
Unexpectedly, after so many days, the Black Tiger Army not only remained undefeated, but actually thrived in southern Xinjiang, and their numbers increased instead of decreasing.
According to the spies he placed in the Black Tiger Army, the Black Tiger Army now exceeds 500,000.
Even compared to the entire Daxuan, its strength cannot be underestimated.
So just now, during the battle between Zhenguo Gong and Zhang San, including the Zhenguo army uniting with other armies to try to crush the Black Tiger Army, Emperor Longqing just watched with cold eyes and pretended not to see it.
The reason is to use the hands of the Zhenguo Army to weaken the Black Tiger Army.
Unexpectedly, there would be a reversal on the field, and Zhen Guogong was defeated. If he did not come forward again, I am afraid that the Black Tiger Army would become even more unchecked.
Hearing Emperor Longqing's voice, the Black Tiger Army didn't know whether they should continue the pursuit.
Under the command of the general, the Zhenguo Army and other teams stood firm, and the chaotic situation below was temporarily under control.
At this moment, Zhang San heard Emperor Longqing's voice and flew down from the sky, landing above the Black Tiger Army, standing opposite Emperor Longqing in the void.
When he saw Emperor Longqing, he stood with his hands behind his back without kneeling or bowing.
Seeing this scene, Emperor Longqing looked at Zhang San and the Black Tiger Army opposite, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but then he restrained himself and said with a smile: "This time to regain the southern border and wipe out the monster clan, Zhang Aiqing is charging forward, and we should immediately First achievement!"
When Zhang San heard this, his expression remained calm, and he said calmly: "The human race and the demon race are inseparable. Zhang is just doing his best and doesn't dare to take credit."
"I also ask the Holy One to issue an edict to allow Zhang to be stationed in southern Xinjiang to guard the border for Daxuan!"
After hearing this, the fear in Emperor Longqing's heart became even more solemn.
He was extremely wary of Zhang San. If he was allowed to stay in southern Xinjiang, there would be no guarantee that something would happen in the future.
He frowned and kept thinking in his mind about how to properly transfer Zhang San back to Daxuan without any intention of resistance.
But at this moment, Chongyang True Immortal and Liu Sheng, who were standing in the distance, also noticed something unusual here. With a flash of their bodies, they flew over from a distance to protect Emperor Longqing.
Looking at the Chongyang True Immortal and Liu Sheng flying in from a distance, Emperor Longqing suddenly felt confident and said in a deep voice: "Now that the war in southern Xinjiang has been calmed down, the demon emperor's clone has also been annihilated by heaven. It is the master of the Black Tiger Army. When returning to court."
"I will rearrange my manpower and take over southern Xinjiang..."
However, before he finished speaking, Zhang San suddenly raised his head, looked at Emperor Longqing with stern eyes, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Your Majesty, are you worried about Zhang?"
Emperor Longqing didn't expect Zhang San to be so straightforward. He asked directly in front of over a million human soldiers below. He was speechless for a moment. After three breaths, he forced a smile and said: "Zhang Aiqing's words are serious..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang San interrupted: "Your Majesty, do you know Zhang's name?"
Emperor Longqing's eyes narrowed and he said slowly: "Outlaw maniac?"
"Exactly!"
Zhang San stood in the air, high-spirited, looking at Emperor Longqing and other monarchs and ministers opposite him, and said without any sign of weakness: "Zhang was born as a commoner, and he had a fate. After escaping from the Drug Testing Department, he became a bandit again. Although he was recruited by the imperial court, he There are many people who look down on Zhang in both the government and the public."
"Even the Holy One, I'm afraid, is not at ease with Zhang and the officers and men of the Black Tiger Army."
After hearing this, Emperor Longqing and other monarchs and ministers seemed to be troubled, and their faces were a little unnatural.
Emperor Longqing and some well-educated ministers and generals could still pretend as if nothing had happened.
"Zhang San, you dare to accuse the Holy One, you are simply treasonous."
"The Clay Legs are indeed the Clay Legs. What they say is so crude and unbearable."
...
Some people who had evil intentions in their hearts and couldn't control their anger began to shout and curse loudly.
Zhang San turned a blind eye to these shouts and curses. Instead, his eyes widened and he said sternly: "But Zhang San doesn't care about any of this!"
After saying these words, his eyes passed over the officers and soldiers of the Black Tiger Army.
The Black Tiger Army formed a sharp contrast with the Zhenguo Army and other teams. The Zhenguo Army had bright armor and stomach, silver helmets and gold armor.
The Black Tiger Army was in ragged clothes and had dirty faces. If it weren't for the flags symbolizing the Black Tiger Army standing among them, it would be hard to imagine that these refugee-like teams below were serving as the vanguard of Daxuan's southern expedition. And he won many battles without losing a single victory.
His eyes suddenly became gentle: "But Zhang's brothers, Zhang has to think about them!"
After hearing this, Emperor Longqing thought: 'Perhaps I am really too worried? '
At this time, he suddenly felt a trace of regret in his heart. He struggled to survive under the heavy pressure of Emperor Jiaming, and experienced a battle with King Jing, so he valued the throne very much.
Therefore, all unstable factors that may affect one's rule must be nipped in the bud.
Therefore, he was particularly afraid of the Black Tiger Army.
But looking back now, it seems that I went too far.
However, before he could change his mind, Zhang San withdrew his gaze from the Black Tiger Army and said in a firm tone: "Since the Great Mysterious Capacity cannot accommodate Zhang, then Zhang will establish his own branch from today on and station himself in southern Xinjiang forever!"
