On the city wall.
Originally, Zhao Chou, Yang Lie and other local officials and military leaders in Chen State were watching the battle with great attention.
Suddenly, they saw a strong flash of light in the midst of the roar of the eight-palisade golden lock array, as Zheng Fanzhang was sprinting forward with 700 mounted soldiers. This caused their momentum to suddenly come to a halt, and everyone became tense.
The power of the cavalry is so great because it is completely dependent on mobility and impact, if they were to come to a halt, they would be at the mercy of others.
Not only them, but also Wang Shihui, Zhao Ke, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the city were all like that, each one secretly holding their breath for Zhang Chengfan and his seven hundred cavalrymen.
Everyone was aware of the ferocity of the demon cult leader. Previously, Tang troops had not failed to launch an attack, but when three thousand riders charged, they lost over a thousand riders, now that they saw seven hundred riders stop, if they were surrounded, they might be wiped out instantly.
But just at this critical moment, a loud shout came from the city wall, "Xie fellow, I come to meet you!"
Shortly after, everyone saw Chen Yun transform into a golden light and fall into the eight-palisade golden lock array.
After seeing this, Zhao Chou and Yang Lie, and other local officials in Chen State, all displayed looks of astonishment.
They had originally thought that Chen Yun, being young and without a beard, might not possess any remarkable skills.
Who would have thought that with one move, he transformed into a golden light!
This move caused Zhao Chou, Yang Lie, and others to be shocked together!
Not to mention Zhao Chou, Yang Lie, and other officials and commanders who had seen Chen Yun for the first time, even Wang Shihui, Zhao Ke, and Cai Rujin were greatly surprised.
When Wang Shihui and Zhao Ke saw Chen Yun last time, he had never shown such high-level druidry. Even following Yao Gui Bai took half a day, but now he can transform into golden light, truly shocking them.
As for Cai Rujin's surprise, it was completely because he hadn't expected Chen Shishu to learn such a heaven-shaking art as 'Gold Light Movement'!
If others aren't clear about the 'Gold Light Movement', can Cai Rujin not be aware of it?
This technique is extremely difficult to practice and is still a secret technique not passed down by the master. Even before his master Zheng Wenxun attained enlightenment, he had never learned it. Cai Rujin truly didn't expect the master to be so "favoring" to Chen Yun, even teaching him such a divine technique!
The soldiers in the city were different from these officials and commanders who had "cultivation" to suppress their shock. They had already made a commotion upon seeing this.
"My God!"
"This young immortal is too strong, isn't he?"
"Turning into golden light instantly? No wonder he is a true immortal among the gods!"
"This immortal, who exactly is he? To possess such divine art?"
The soldiers in the city were extremely envious, and they looked at Chen Yun in the eight-palisade golden lock array with reverence.
As for the soldiers on the other side of the Yellow Turban Army, all their faces changed. They realized for the first time that not only did they have immortals in their army, but there were also immortals helping the Tang troops. And from their glimpse of Chen Yun's skill just now, it seemed like he was even more powerful than Xie Daoist!
...
Eight Palisade Golden Lock Array, Life Gate.
Xie Daoist's pupils slightly constricted as he stared at the young Taoist before him, momentarily stunned by the 'Gold Light Movement' into silence.
Chen Yun, however, did not care about it and merely let out a cold snort.
Suddenly, a red light flashed through the minds of Zhang Chengfan and the seven hundred cavalrymen.
Instantly, in the thoughts of Zhang Chengfan and the seven hundred cavalrymen, the ground stopped shaking, and the fiery light in the sky vanished!
Zhang Chengfan had not yet fully understood what was happening when he saw Chen Yun in front of him, and he slightly stumbled: "Chen Immortal……"
Chen Yun didn't turn his head, "Continue the charge into the array. Leave this to me!"
"Aye!"
Although Zhang Chengfan and the seven hundred cavalrymen had countless doubts in their hearts, they couldn't afford to waste time thinking now that they were on the battlefield.
"Brothers, follow me to kill!"
Zhang Chengfan roared, spurred his horse, and charged at the enemy with his spear once more.
The seven hundred mounted soldiers also raised their spears, roaring as they charged at the approaching enemy army.
Upon seeing them charge, Xie Daoist couldn't help but feel worried and roared, "Don't run!"
But just as he was about to act, a small fireball appeared abruptly.
And then, without any emotion, Chen Yun's voice resounded, "Xie Daoist, your opponent is me!"
"Good! Good at 'Gold Light Movement'!" Xie Daoist waved his array flag, and a burst of red light suddenly appeared on the law platform, shattering the small fireball into pieces. At the same time, instead of hurrying to stop Zhang Chengfan and the seven hundred cavalrymen, he instead looked solemnly and said: "Brother Daoist, please state your name. My name is Xie Wuming. I do not kill nameless people!"
Standing below the law platform, Chen Yun, with the flying needle disk suspended, paid no attention to the soldiers around him and channeled his true qi with a full breath, saying: "Chen Yun, a disciple of the Zhengyang Immortal at the Zhongnan Mountain Ningyang Cave Propagation Temple. Today, I come to challenge Xie Daoist for a few pointers!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Wuming's face changed. "Under the Zhengyang Immortal?"
Chen Yun looked at him and said, "Indeed, Xie Daoist. If you withdraw the array and leave at this moment, I will certainly spare no one."
Xie Wuming's tone was sinister as he said, "Don't think you can scare me with your sect elder. The Taoist community has a rule that what happens on the battlefield should not be accounted for later. Today, I have set up this array here. Since you dared to come and break my array for the Tang army, you should be prepared to be slaughtered by me!"
"Since you are so unreasonable, I have no choice but to subdue you and bring you back to Xingcheng City for questioning," said Chen Yun with his hands behind his back, not even drawing his divine sword. "Xie Daoist, let's begin!"
Xie Wuming sneered coldly, "You are not worthy of my personal attack. Where is the gold-armored mighty?"
As soon as the words fell, a flash of golden light appeared in front, and a fierce gale of wind rushed in.
Chen Yun didn't even move, and the flying needle went straight towards the golden light.
Bang!
A loud explosion echoed.
In the next moment, the flying needle was back by Chen Yun's side.
A gold-armored, four-legged Rakshasa appeared below the law platform.
It turned out that the flying needle had collided with the gold-armored Rakshasa without determining a winner, and they both retreated back to their owners.
"Originally, I thought that Chen Immortal had such a device in his possession, which is why he dared to challenge me, Xie Wuming," said Xie Wuming, holding the array flag and laughing coldly. "However, my gold-armored bodyguard is not something your needle can match. It is invincible to weapons and fire."
Before he finished his sentence, Chen Yun lifted his right hand.
Crack!
A thunderous boom sounded like a bolt of lightning from the eight-palisade golden lock array.
The soldiers in the city, Meng Kai from a distance, and the Yellow Turban bandits around them all saw with horror that Chen Yun shot out a bowl-sized intense bolt of lightning from his palm.
This bolt of lightning was incredibly fierce, and as soon as it rose from Chen Yun's palm, it hit the Rakshasa instantaneously.
Boom!
There was another massive explosion.
The place where the Rakshasa had stood earlier experienced an extremely violent explosion.
For a moment, there was billowing smoke and dust, and a smoky smell wafted in all directions.
The soldiers could not see what had happened clearly because of the smoke and dust.
However, as a seventh-grade Daoist practitioner, how could Xie Wuming not see?
In terror, Xie Wuming discovered that the gold-armored Rakshasa had been blasted into charred ruins by the palm lightning, and a pit over a foot wide and two to three feet deep had appeared on the ground. His gold-armored Rakshasa was now lying quietly in the pit, completely out of contact with him!
"Thunder Law!" Xie Wuming took a deep breath of cold air. "How can you practice Thunder Law at such a young age?"
He really couldn't imagine that the young Taoist in front of him, who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, had cultivated the Thunder Law that dominated all laws!
Now, Xie Wuming was completely panic-stricken. The look in his eyes towards Chen Yun also had a sense of fear.
Chen Yun still said in a calm tone: "Xie Daoist, I still have the same words: if you leave here now, Chen can spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Xie Wuming gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Daoist, don't get too proud. Even if you know the Thunder Law, you can't necessarily defeat me in this array. Have the courage to try!"
"Good! Good, good! Heaven has a road that you don't walk, but hell has no door, and yet you try to break in. Today, I will send Xie Daoist on his way!"
With that, Chen Yun's hair moved automatically without any wind. Unbeknownst to him, a piece of embroidered silk handkerchief appeared in his palm. At the same time, he formed a seal with his left hand, stepped on the martial step, and recited words of incantation: "Om! Lanruo! Three Pure Sages!"
Boom!
A massive explosion sounded from Chen Yun's body.
Terrifying power surged, and Chen Yun's Taoist robe swelled up like it had been inflated.
In the next second, surrounding sounds of celestial music began to resonate.
"Covered with blue clouds……"
"Three points of gold on the left……"
"……Transform into ashes, the Supreme Old Lord, hurry quickly!"
Ziwei taboo!
Chen Yun unleashed his ultimate move directly!
When he encountered an opponent with comparable strength, he was overjoyed, knowing that it was the perfect opportunity to test his own abilities. Therefore, he had no hesitation in using the Ziwei Cipher directly.
The Ziwei Cipher itself does not consume the user's essence, but it imposes a significant burden on the user. This burden is not just physical, but also includes "soul." That's why Lin Feiyun became incredibly weak after using it last time.
Of course, that was due to Lin Feiyun's decision to use the maximum power.
Chen Yun wouldn't necessarily become weakened all at once if he didn't use the maximum power.
Moreover, there was Cai Rujin, a high-grade Daoist practitioner, holding the fort on the city wall. Even if he became weak, it wouldn't matter.
Because of this, he dared to use the divine technique of Ziwei Cipher, the purpose of which was to test his combat strength.
When Chen Yun displayed the Ziwei Cipher, he was surrounded by one layer of purple qi, making his entire demeanor extremely dangerous.
Xie Wuming didn't expect Chen Yun to use the Ziwei Cipher, and his face turned pale instantly. He shouted, "You're crazy! You're crazy! Just helping others to hold their ground. How can you use such methods?"
Chen Yun's eyes glowed with a faint purple light, "Shut up! You can either die or disperse the array and leave this place immediately!"
Xie Wuming gritted his teeth and said, "I still have the same words: if you have the ability, come and break my array!"
After that, he waved the array flag.
The law platform was enveloped in a bright red glow, and a series of ghostly cries and howls echoed continuously within the red light.
If someone were to carefully look at this moment, they would definitely see that the red light was filled with countless grotesque ghost faces, all of which were the rampant spirits!
As soon as these rampaging spirits appeared, Xie Wuming pointed the array flag with his hand.
In an instant, the red light changed colors, turning into a black qi that looked like ink, carrying a series of ghostly cries and howls like a torrent towards Chen Yun.
There were one hundred rampaging spirits within the black qi. Xie Wuming watched Chen Yun with a sense of satisfaction, not believing that Chen Yun had the ability to withstand one hundred rampaging spirits.
But before his thought was fully formed, a shocking scene unfolded!
Chen Yun pushed forward with his one arm, shouting loudly, "Detonate!"
The terrible thing happened!
Within a radius of ten meters, the earth, air, water, and all matter seemed to be swept up by a mighty force, all rushing towards the law platform!
For a moment, an endless glow of gold appeared in the ten-meter radius.
As if golden light had ascended into the sky!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions rang out continuously amidst the relentless impacts of golden light.
Such terrifying power erupted, as if it was going to crush everything in the world!
This move was precisely the one Lin Feiyun initially used, and Chen Yun drew a similar move and unleashed it. However, he deliberately reduced the power by several times to avoid hurting ordinary people.
Even though he had reduced the power, the terrifying might that erupted from this divine technique still shocked all of the city!
