Jiang Wanchao looked at the Ming Cult with overwhelming strength and felt a little distressed, thinking about how to defeat the enemy.
Wang Chong on the other side was too lazy to play tricks of arranging troops and testing each other.
To put it bluntly, although I have not yet regained the Golden Immortal's magic power, with the mystery of the Eight-nine Mysterious Techniques, let alone these castrated versions of the Golden Immortal, I can really pull a complete Golden Immortal, as long as it is not long-term. At the level of Mei, Wang Chong is confident that he can do whatever he wants.
He jumped forward, his body changed in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, Wang Chong transformed into a Taoist statue thousands of feet tall, with his feet on the earth and the sky above his head.
The Taoist lowered his head and grinned, pulled out a strand of hair, injected it with a breath of vitality, and after shaking it three times, the strand of hair turned into a sky-throwing stick and hit Jiang Wanchao hard.
Wang Chong's own martial arts is not good. Although he is not a three-legged cat, he can't be said to be brilliant.
But now this seemingly simple stick is actually extremely wonderful. The energy gathered under the stick contains hundreds of thousands of changes, making it impossible for people to escape. Hundreds of evildoers were beaten to death in an instant with just one stick. Without the power of heaven, he was wrapped up in the sky-throwing stick and disappeared without a trace.
Although Jiang Wanchao was not among the top ten masters, he was still one of the most powerful evildoers in the world. Seeing that he could not dodge the blow, he shouted loudly, showing his true nature as a evildoer, and he withstood Wang Chong's blow.
"good."
Wang Chong spit out wind and thunder and laughed loudly, which was like the sound of thunder in the sky and the earth, shaking the soldiers and horses on both sides and making them unsteady.
He is not afraid of how powerful these Dao evil spirits are, but the more powerful they are, the better. It would be great if he could complete the seventh level of Xuan Gong before seizing the Dao.
Jiang Wanchao was almost unable to maintain his humanity after being hit by Wang Chong's force of heaven. He felt frightened and extremely angry at the same time, and he shouted:
"Your Majesty loves talents. It's too late for Wang Chong to turn around now. There are many masters in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Don't think that you can do whatever you want after you have cultivated some magical powers. Now that you are captured without mercy, I can still spare your life."
Eighty-nine successes were achieved, and thirty-six great magical powers were available to him. At this time, Wang Chong used the two magical powers of Law, Heaven, Elephant and Earth and Fighting Holy Law. He had many means.
Not to mention a mere Jiang Wanchao, how could he, Master Wang Da, be afraid even if the ten evildoers came with him?
Besides, with Da Zhou's efficiency, when they gather their men again and come again, I don't know how far he has mastered the Eight-nine Mysterious Skills.
It was said that before Zhou could gather his army again, he would attack the capital, overthrow this bullshit imperial court, and change the world anew.
"Why do you say so much? Another blow from Pindao."
Wang Chong laughed loudly and shook the gold-chiselled stick in his hand. The shadow of the golden stick splashed down from the sky and struck Jiang Wanchao again.
The fighting holy method brought by Tongbei Monkey is really powerful. By using this method, Wang Chong, a person with ordinary martial arts, can become a supreme master in an instant.
There were countless subtle changes with just one strike, making it impossible for Jiang Wanchao to dodge or escape. He couldn't even release his force, so he could only resist forcefully.
Among the stick shadows that filled the sky, the remaining Taoist evildoers in the Great Zhou Army were affected by their vitality and spontaneously threw themselves into the stick shadows. In an instant, their bodies were destroyed and their souls were destroyed.
With such a powerful blow, except for these evildoers, the rest of the people were basically not implicated.
Jiang Wanchao was the only one who was beaten to death by Wang Chong after humanizing hundreds of people nearby because his Taoist body was blown away.
Although Jiang Wanchao is not a true Golden Immortal, he has acquired a bit of the immortal essence of the Golden Immortal. After his Taoist body was broken up, he instantly reunited and recovered, but he no longer had the demeanor of the Commander-in-Chief of the Zhou Dynasty and the Governor-General of the Six Gates. .
He had just recovered and before he could speak, the shadow of the stick arrived again.
Poor Jiang Wanchao, he was one of the top ten evildoers after all, but to Wang Chong, he was like a rubber ball, being played with at will, unable to even resist. It was really miserable.
"It feels so good. No wonder those ancient qi-refiners like to learn some martial arts. It feels so good to overwhelm others with their martial arts. Once you gain the upper hand, unless you have some unique treasure, it will be difficult to come back. "
The gold-chiselled stick struck again, and after blowing Jiang Wanchao to pieces, he circled the tip of the stick and pulled out half of the power of heaven, which was swallowed whole by Wang Chong.
His mana increased sharply, and he was one step closer to reaching the fifth rank.
Jiang Wanchao recovered his body again. At this time, he looked at Wang Chong with a complicated expression on his face.
At his level, even the Ten Great Evils such as the Emperor of Zhou could not kill him. At most, they could find a way to trap him and wait for him to be assimilated by the way of heaven.
But now Wang Chong actually has the power to kill him. Compared with being assimilated by the heaven, not even a trace can be left in the end. In fact, death is an ending that is many times better for evildoers like them. .
It's just that all living beings always have the desire to survive. This is the instinct of all sentient beings, and it cannot be changed or changed.
Although he felt that being beaten to death by Wang Chong was not a bad thing, his instinct for survival still made Jiang Wanchao take advantage of Wang Chong's opportunity to absorb the power of heaven and escape from the riverside camp and head towards the capital.
Wang Chong smiled and did not stop him. He completely refined Jiang Wanchao's half of the power of heaven. After there was no hidden danger, he changed into a golden-winged roc. With his wings fanned, golden wind blew everywhere. In the blink of an eye, he arrived behind Jiang Wanchao and swallowed him in one gulp.
The golden-winged roc burped, and then changed again, turning into a large whale and falling into the Xuanwu Lake in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, causing a wave of thousands of feet.
In Xuyang City next to Xuanwu Lake, countless people looked at the huge waves rising up from the sky. They were all frightened to the point where their legs were weak, their mouths were wide open, and they could not make any sound.
Just when the big wave was about to hit and destroy the entire Xuyang City, a strange bird song sounded, and a strange bird that looked like a bird, but not a bird, or a fish, but not a fish, and it was thousands of miles in size, crashed into the huge wave. , flapped his wings, and a strong wind rose, blowing back the huge waves.
After vomiting Jiang Wancao, the Eighty-nine Mysterious Techniques, which were only one step away from achieving the fifth level, were finally achieved. Wang Chong, the reincarnated body of Xingguang, finally regained the Golden Immortal mana.
But this was not enough to rejoice. With the fifth turn of the skill, Wang Chong understood another profound change in the Eight-nine Mysterious Skills.
The thirty-six kinds of heavenly demon transformations were originally derived from the thirty-six tyrannical magic weapons of the Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal Jue. The Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal Jue was derived from Wang Chong's understanding and deduction from the nineteen true traditions of the Immortal Luo Sect. .
It itself hides a deeper combination change, but Wang Chong was not able to perfect it because of his lack of practice at the beginning.
Now, with the help of the unknown Taiyi Emperor's magic power and the flash of inspiration to become a golden immortal again, although he still cannot comprehend the supreme changes of the thirty-six kinds of heaven and demon union, he has comprehended a few The great method of cultivating the combination of heavenly demons.
The changes that Wang Chong has realized now are recorded in Zhuangzi:
"There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun. Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it has. When it turns into a bird, its name is Peng. With the back of a Peng, I don't know how many thousands of miles it has. When it flies in anger, its wings are as big as Clouds hanging from the sky.”
This is it; Kunpeng.
After comprehending a more profound change, the Eight-nine Mysterious Techniques created by Wang Chong became even more mysterious. Inspired by this, countless inspirations flashed through Wang Chong's mind.
After retreating from the huge wave he created, he stopped his transformation, casually landed in the Xuanwu Lake, sat cross-legged on the lake, and began to perfect the Eight-nine Mysterious Techniques and deduce the higher transformations of this magical technique.
On the north bank of the Huai River, Wang Chong's magical power has completely suppressed these ordinary soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In addition, the high-ranking evildoers in the army were wiped out by Wang Chong with a few sticks. These ordinary soldiers have completely lost their morale.
Many soldiers who were forcibly brought from the north, saw that something was not right, so they grabbed some horses, food and other supplies one by one and escaped from the camp.
Some soldiers who were originally recruited in the south, seeing that the imperial army was helpless against the Mingjiao, and their hometown was nearby, they simply forced some low-level officers to mutiny and prepare to surrender to the Mingjiao.
There are still some people who are neither north nor south. Now they are struggling, not knowing whether to run with the northern soldiers or surrender with the southern brothers.
The north bank lost its commander and senior military officials and was in chaos. However, the Ming Cult on the south bank, under the leadership of the guardians on the left and right, and the Dharma Kings of each group, divided into ten groups and began to cross the river.
The guardians on the left, Yang Xiao, and the guardians on the right, Fan Yao. Well, they were not named by that name at all. Wang Chong helped them get it out of spite. Among all the Dharma kings, the most accomplished ones did not escape the poisonous hands. What? There's "Golden-haired Lion King Xie Xun" and "White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng".
Wang Chong's reasons were also very good. We were rebels, and we had many nicknames, so we didn't harm our families. Everyone felt that it was reasonable, so they accepted it. They also felt that Wang Chong, the leader, really thought about them, and they were extremely grateful.
The left and right guardians were the first to cross the Huai River. The already chaotic South Camp started to fight with each other.
The northern soldiers want to flee, the southern soldiers want to surrender, the northern soldiers want to grab supplies and horses, but the southern soldiers want to surrender with everything in the southern camp, so that they can have merit and make themselves unstoppable in the next Northern Expedition. Being cannon fodder gives you some rights and can protect your family.
The two sides had different ideas, but they had the same goal, which was to pile up mountains of food and grass and countless horses in the camp.
The northern soldiers were few in number, but they were fierce in order to survive. The southern soldiers they killed were retreating steadily. By the time 'Yang Xiao' and 'Fan Yao' arrived at the camp, the entire camp had been plunged into a sea of fire, and the southern soldiers They were completely killed and dispersed, most of the camp was burned, and more of the mountains of food, grass and horses inside were burned.
Although the Ming Cult was established only a short time ago and Wang Chong didn't spend much time in charge, facing such a moody and unpredictable leader, no one dared to be lazy during training.
Therefore, although the people of Mingjiao are not very elite, their basic unity has gradually taken root in the hearts of the people. Now seeing these soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty killing each other, 'Yang Xiao' and 'Fan Yao' both shook their heads and said:
"The Great Zhou Dynasty has become so decayed that it is indeed time for a change of destiny."
The two of them watched for a while, and after saying a few words of emotion, they began to extinguish the fire and collect the defeated troops.
After the other eight Dharma kings and senior officials gathered in the evening, everyone tallied the results.
Because it was Wang Chong who single-handedly killed Jiang Wanchao and other high-ranking officials in the Zhou army, the Mingjiao people were also able to fight without a single blow. Except for dozens of unlucky guys who slipped and fell into the water when crossing the river, there were basically no casualties, but they captured a lot of money.
The amount of food rescued was about 80,000 loads, which was enough to feed the Mingjiao's million-strong army for half a month.
There were countless weapons and armors, and more than 30,000 sets of complete sets of armor alone were seized, and the rest were scattered and countless.
Most of the horses had run, and in one day only some of the horses that had not run far were collected, probably more than ten thousand, and if they were collected for a few more days, the number should be doubled.
The number of captured troops was about 200,000.
The army led by Jiang Wanchao was said to be 700,000, but in fact there was a lot of vacancy. Even if many local troops were mobilized along the way to fill up the army, when the Huai River was reached, it would still only be about 500,000.
Among them, more than 100,000 northern soldiers have basically fled. Some of the remaining 100,000 soldiers were killed and scattered, hiding in the mountains and forests, and will not come out for a while, but most of them were caught in this fire between the north and the south. About 100,000 people were killed.
Jiang Wanchao suffered a huge defeat, and the few troops in the south were wiped out in one fell swoop.
Coupled with the deserters from the north, who burned, killed and looted all the way, the Mingjiao's advance was extremely smooth. In less than a month, they occupied three counties in a row and marched to Xuyang City, the gateway to the north and south.
Xu Yang's position is extremely important. It guards the important node of the Huaihe River and has Xuanwu Lake at its back. It is a battleground for military strategists. It is also an important place for the north to control the south.
If it were a world without practitioners, Xuyang City would be as important to the north and south as Xiangyang and Hefei. With this, the south could control the water network and confront the north.
If the north gets this, it can use it as a foundation to build warships and train navy.
All in all, even in this world of spiritual cultivation, Xu Yangcheng is extremely important.
Everyone thought that there would definitely be a bloody battle under Xuyang City. After all, although the Mingjiao followers were more elite than the ordinary soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they had no evildoers. Although the method taught by Wang Chong was not bad, However, everyone has only been practicing for a short period of time, so it is still of no use.
As a result, when they arrived in Xuyang, they saw countless people opening the city to welcome them, shouting slogans: "Heaven is destined to die, Huang Tian is destined to stand."
This scene made the Mingjiao people quite confused. They thought there was an ambush from the Zhou Dynasty in the city, and they were so frightened that they did not dare to enter the city.
It wasn't until 'Yang Xiao' asked a few people that he found out that Wang Chong had transformed into Kunpeng, hit the water three thousand times, and fought off huge waves, and then perfected the Eight-nine Mysterious Techniques on Xuanwu Lake, causing various strange phenomena, and was later captured by some brave men. The common people in the boat saw the true appearance, and this was the scene.
Wang Chong is already the biggest rebel leader in the Zhou Dynasty. Let’s not talk about the north for now, but the south has long been covered with portraits offering rewards. In addition, "On Changing the Sky" and "Essay on Defeating the Sky" have been spread all over the world, and even ordinary people know this. A Mingjiao leader.
Everyone was stunned and smiled bitterly. They just felt that their leader was really powerful. There was no big difference between them and the various Dharma kings who were protecting the Dharma, whether they were there or not.
