Pick up the treasure bag and start cultivating immortals from the shrinking lamp.

Chapter 155 Saint
On the plains, more than a million people were fighting fiercely.

The shouts shook the heavens and the earth, and the murderous aura surged like a tsunami.

Secular generals are basically warriors at the acquired or innate warrior level. They have strong bodies and can even kill some psychic beasts.

Gu Tianhua's body was covered with tattoos, and his skin was as rough as that of mountain beasts, making it difficult for swords and knives to cut through it.

He led the troops, his eyes flashing with murderous intent and his halberd emitting layers of murderous aura. He was like a bulldozer, unmatched in the crowd. Countless Jin soldiers were chopped in half.

Seeing how brave he was, Zhou Guang shouted, "Who will go forward and kill this Liao?"

"The general will go where he wishes!"

A general came out riding a black horse, holding a long sword.

"It turns out to be General Ding. Remember to be careful. If you catch this beast, I will credit you as the first merit!" Zhou Guang was overjoyed.

This general's name was Ding Xun, a congenital warrior who wielded a large sword made of black iron, which was extremely sharp.

"Wu barbarian, are you willing to fight with me?"

Ding Xun rode his horse to the front of the formation and pointed a knife at Gu Tianhua.

"You bastard from Jin, stop being so rude!"

After Gu Tian's incarnation, a general rushed out, riding a giant elephant, holding a mace five feet long with an iron spike half a foot long, full of murderous aura.

Ding Xun was furious. He spurred his horse, rushed forward, and chopped with his sword. There was a loud "ping-pong" sound as the two men fought.

After fighting for several rounds, it was discovered that the Wu warrior was practicing the secret art of barbaric martial arts. He had a body of iron and steel, dark yellow skin, and a bare upper body with countless densely packed tadpole characters painted on it. Even when a knife was used to chop at him, it could not penetrate him, as if he was wearing an extremely defensive armor.

Ding Xun's wrist was numb from the shock of the mace, and he could only resist a little by stimulating the blood and energy in his body. He knew he could not defeat the enemy head-on, so he exposed his weakness, turned his horse, and ran eastward.

Naturally, the Wu soldiers were not willing to let him go, so they rode their elephants to chase after him, one in front and one behind, in a very urgent manner.

"Go!"

Ding Xun had already immediately mobilized a ray of magic power in his dantian, raised the black iron sword in his hand, and transformed it into white light and chopped directly at the barbarian general's face.

When the Wu soldier saw that Ding Xun had thrown away all his weapons, he was overjoyed. He jumped up, dodged the big knife, and hit Ding Xun in the face with a mace in his hand.

However, Ding Xun had already prepared for this, but he was afraid that the Wu soldier was too strong and would not be killed in time, allowing him to escape.

So he secretly used all his magic power, the long sword emitted white light, and its power increased several times, and with a slash in the air, he broke the barbarian general's secret self-defense technique, and with another slash, the enemy general was cut in half, and blood flowed all over the ground.

He turned around and slashed with his sword again, chopping off the enemy general's head.

It sounds complicated, but it only took a few breaths. An old wizard beside Gu Tianhua became furious, took out a skull hanging on his body, and hit Ding Xun on the back with his hand.

As the skull appeared, it rapidly enlarged from its original fist size to the size of a millstone in an instant. It also spewed out black smoke and made a shrill cry, looking eerie and terrifying.

Ding Xun turned around and saw the skull coming at him in a hurry and ferociously. His heart sank. He had a physique of mixed spiritual roots and could not practice Taoism, so he rolled around in the secular world. His cultivation level was only the third level of Qi Refining, and he could only barely offer up some magical instruments.

He had just come to kill General Wu and had already used up all the magic power in his dantian.

At this moment, a blue-robed monk behind Zhou Guang took down the gourd, opened the lid, pointed the gourd mouth at the skull, chanted a spell, and a red flame shot out with a thundering sound, burning the skull and making it explode.

Seeing his savior coming, Ding Xun quickly put away the black iron knife and retreated.

The 600,000 troops led by Zhou Guang were all the elite troops of Jin State. Almost all the Imperial Guards and Forbidden City Army were mobilized, which could be said to be the mobilization of the entire country.

The reason why Jin State invested so much money.

On the one hand, it was under pressure from the Tianyan Immortal Sect.

On the other hand, Xia Chen promised to give the Jin royal family five places to become true disciples.

In the future, if any of these five true disciples has the opportunity to condense a golden elixir, he can take charge of Lingyun Peak.

The heritage of Lingyun Peak is so profound that it is unimaginable. It has top-grade treasures to suppress Lingshan. If it were placed in the outside world, it would be a veritable immortal sect. Even immortal sects like Xuanyuan Sect and Liuyun Sect cannot compare with it.

With such tempting conditions, the Jin royal family naturally became excited and took out all their family assets to give it a try.
-
"An army of 800,000 was beaten back by an army of 600,000. What does Gu Tianhua do for a living?"

In the clouds above the battlefield, a graceful girl looked somewhat unhappy.

She was dressed in a golden dress, with an elegant and noble appearance and an extraordinary aura.

A young monk behind him said respectfully, "Fairy Yao, how about I go down and lend a helping hand to the Wu Kingdom?"

“After all, the Huanyin Sect is one of the five major sects of the Wu Kingdom. If it attacks a secular army, it will inevitably be ridiculed. You are a disciple of the Lihuo Sect, and you have the cultivation base of the late foundation building stage. You can take action, and it will also save the Wu Kingdom’s army from suffering major casualties and being unable to fight for the Two Worlds Mountains.” The girl nodded.

"Yes!"

Lu Ying flew on his sword and soon arrived above the battlefield.

He took out a palm-sized red flag and threw it downwards with his hand, and the flag immediately grew larger.

Immediately afterwards, a huge burst of red flames surged up and turned into fire rain that exploded in all directions.

Wherever the rain of fire went, many Jin soldiers were pierced through, their bodies were engulfed in flames, and they let out shrill screams. Before long, nearly a hundred soldiers were burned to death.

Lu Ying was flying in the sky with the Red Fire Flag, killing people in all directions, like a demon descending to the earth.

In a war like this involving more than one million people, it is difficult for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage to influence the outcome of the war, as the magic power in their bodies is low and exists mainly in the form of gas in their Dantian.

The well-trained secular elite soldiers all have acquired martial arts strength of the fifth or sixth level. Their bodies are many times stronger than those of ordinary people, their reaction abilities are also greatly improved, and they can dodge some spells. In addition, they wear armor. On the battlefield, a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training can kill a hundred enemy soldiers at most.

Two hundred soldiers are nothing in a war of this scale and cannot make any waves at all.

The magic power in the body of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage has already been transformed into liquid, and both its quality and quantity are far higher than those in the Qi Refining Stage.

The damage they caused was horrific, and a single strike could kill a dozen or even dozens of soldiers.

Some cultivators in the late stage of foundation building can even kill nearly ten thousand enemy troops in a single battle with the help of recovery-type elixirs.

However, Lu Ying did not come here simply to massacre the soldiers. Tens of thousands of soldiers might affect the war situation to a certain extent, but they could not directly change the direction of the war.

So he flew straight to the central army, wanting to kill the general of Jin directly.

As soon as the general died, the morale of the Jin army immediately fell into chaos, and Gu Tianhua might be able to turn the defeat into victory.

"Set up the formation! Release the arrows!"

When Zhou Guang saw the immortal flying in the sky, he shouted loudly and organized his soldiers to form a battle formation to meet the enemy.

Although cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage rarely appear on the battlefield, there are examples of this happening.

What's more, he had been warned by the Tianyan Immortal Sect before that there might be foundation-building cultivators participating in this decisive battle, so he had prepared some countermeasures in advance.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."

Densely packed arrows were shot out, but above Lu Ying's head hung a fist-sized bead, and strips of yellow light fell down, covering his entire body.

The arrows were all shot from the five-stone bows. They could penetrate the rocks, but they could not break through the yellow light.

Lu Ying snorted coldly, and the small red flag next to him suddenly emitted a large amount of fire rain, trying to burn to death all the soldiers below.

However, the soldiers who were able to guard the central army were all elite and well-equipped. They quickly arranged themselves in formation, took out their shields, and formed a huge metal tortoise shell that was airtight and could resist the pouring rain of fire.

The rain of fire hit the shields with a clanging sound, and some shields were even directly pierced through.

However, new soldiers with shields in hand soon arrived to maintain the formation.

For a moment, the rain of fire from the sky was unable to burn to death the army below that was like a huge turtle shell.

"There are actually spiritual patterns engraved into this shield. No wonder it can withstand the high temperature of such red flames!"

Lu Ying was a little annoyed. As a foundation-building cultivator, he was unable to deal with the ants below, especially under the watchful eyes of the Saint of the Huanyin Sect. This made him very angry.

Just as he was considering whether to launch an all-out attack, the battlefield below changed again.

Carriages equipped with crossbows came from all directions.

This crossbow is very huge, with an arc-shaped bow on top and a huge iron box at the bottom, which contains various complex mechanisms and springs.

A carriage can basically only hold one crossbow.

hum!
Amidst a deafening buzzing sound, a meter-long arrow shot out from the carriage as fast as a meteor and hit the yellow light accurately.

Lu Ying only felt a huge force coming. Although the arrow failed to break through the defense, the arrowhead had already penetrated deeply into the yellow light.

hum!hum!hum!hum!
Another four crossbow arrows flew out, and the yellow light vibrated and the jade beads above the head swayed.

"What kind of crossbow is this?"

Lu Ying was shocked. He didn't expect that there were such powerful weapons among mortals.

If it were a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage or even the early stage of Foundation Establishment, his protective mysterious light would have been pierced long ago.

He wanted to destroy these crossbows, but the Jin army had been prepared. The carriages were far apart and in disarray, so it would take a lot of time to get rid of them one by one.

Crossbow arrows were shot out one after another, and archers continued to gather here. The arrows shot were densely packed like dark clouds.

Even though he was a foundation-building cultivator, Lu Ying couldn't hold on any longer at this moment. He was a mortal body, and if an arrow broke through his defense and pierced his body, he would still die.

So he had to retreat and fly back in the hail of arrows.

"What a waste!"

The girl in the sky far away couldn't help but snort coldly as she looked at Lu Ying who was fleeing back in a panic.

This Lu Ying is a leader among the younger generation of the Lihuo Sect and one of her suitors.

But they can’t even deal with the secular army, they are really incompetent.

"Saint, would you like me to go down and clean up the mess?"

An old man in gray spoke. He bent his back like a servant, but he exuded an aura as deep as the ocean. He was actually a Jindan cultivator.

The girl in yellow waved her hand and said, "Do you think we are the only spectators in this battle? Do you believe that the Jindan elders of Tianyan Sect are also watching in the dark, waiting for our fate?"

"Miss, are you still afraid of the Tianyan Sect?" The old man in gray was a little puzzled.

"A centipede is still alive even after death. Although the Tianyan Immortal Sect has declined, who knows if it still has any foundation. Don't be anxious, let's test its bottom line!"

Then, without waiting for Lu Ying, a few people turned into several divine rainbows and disappeared into the distance.

Five days later, Jin's general Zhou Guang selected an army of 500,000 and marched towards the border of Wu.

The army stopped ten miles before Yanbei Pass. A general holding a spear and riding ahead came to the outside of the city wall to challenge the enemy.

"How dare you, a mere ant, come and challenge me?"

A ball of light flew out from the city, revealing the figure of a Taoist priest. He was wearing an eight-diagram cloud-light robe and a purple-gold Taoist crown on his head. He was extremely thin, with an immortal-like appearance.

He waved the whisk in his hand, and a gust of wind swept towards the general. Both the man and his horse were blown to an unknown place, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

"Fellow Taoists from the Tianyan Sect, please come out and give me some advice!" the Taoist shouted.

In the center of the Jin army, Xia Yi sat on a fragrant carriage, followed by several Jindan elders.

"The leader of the Lihuo Sect is here personally, so we have to be careful. How about Brother Cao go and meet him?" Xia Yi asked.

Cao Guoqing said nothing, but still followed the order and stepped forward.

Zeng Zhen, the leader of the Lihuo Sect, gave a light shout and was the first to attack. He opened his mouth and spit out a beam of red light, which was extremely dazzling. It froze in mid-air, and a bronze tripod reappeared, sparkling and glittering. It quickly grew from an inch high, and in the blink of an eye it was as big as a house, with flames shooting up into the sky.

This is the Lihuo Sect’s magic weapon, the Lihuo Divine Cauldron, a top-grade treasure.

"Rumble..."

The big cauldron shook and a tsunami-like sound suddenly occurred. It was so loud that it made people's ears buzz. The raging fire inside was clearly visible.

Then a blazing fire poured out from inside, and the boundless fire burned a large area of ​​the sky.

The temperature was so scorching that even the Jin army, which was ten miles away, felt the heat unbearable and sweated profusely.

The soldiers were horrified. The power of the immortal was truly terrifying. If they were close to him, they would probably be burned to ashes immediately.

Cao Guoqing was calm and fearless, holding a long banner in his hand. The banner was made of an unknown material, neither silk nor linen. There was mist surging inside, mixed with countless tadpole runes and tiny yellow spells, all wrapped in the shadows of many monsters, either a three-headed firebird or a black evil tiger.

"when!"

The phantoms of many ferocious beasts roared and crashed into the Lihuo Cauldron, like a volcanic eruption. The sound was deafening. Many soldiers on both sides screamed and covered their ears in pain. Some soldiers in the front were even blown away by the invisible sound waves.

The two Jindan Zhenren held the top-grade treasures and launched a fierce collision, as if the sea collapsed and the earth collapsed, and the sky and the earth turned upside down. The terrifying aura shook in all directions.

The Lihuo Sect is also one of the top ten sects in the Wu Kingdom's immortal cultivation world. There are several Jindan Zhenren in the sect, which is much inferior to the Tianyan Sect.

However, its leader Zeng Zhen has already stepped into the late Jindan stage, and his strength should not be underestimated.

As a veteran Jindan Zhenren of Tianyan Sect, Cao Guoqing's strength is also terrifying. In addition, he practices the Qixiu Divine Mang Sutra, one of the Five Methods of Tianyan, which is an extremely powerful offensive technique. His strength far exceeds that of cultivators at the same level.

"boom!"

There was an endless roar, the heaven and earth turned upside down, the two treasures collided violently again, and the majestic waves swept the heaven and earth and rushed in all directions.

Zeng Zhen vomited blood, his body shrank like a broken drum, and he flew hundreds of meters away.

The bones all over his body kept making crackling sounds, and it was obvious that many of them were broken and completely deformed in many places.
