Terrifying power surges!
Explosions explode violently in the array!
The strong gale waves surged from all directions, knocking soldiers near the altar onto their backs and horses, some even being swept up into the air by the force of the wave due to being too close. With a loud scream, one soldier was slammed heavily to the ground with a resounding "thud," stirring up a great deal of dust.
The residual force from the gale wave alone sends people flying into the air!
What if someone were to be in the middle of such energy explosion? How terrifying would it be?
This situation lasted only for a moment.
When the light faded, all officials and generals from Chenzhou, including Zhao Chao, Yang Li, and others on the city walls, as well as Meng Kai and Huang Chao's military leaders in the middle camp, were all shocked to see that the position of the altar had long since been flattened!
No!
Not only was it flattened!
A "ditch" three cun wide and four or five chi deep appeared over there.
With this move, the entire hall was shocked!
On the city walls.
Zhao Chao couldn't help but take a deep breath in.
Yang Li also widened his eyes in an instant!
The remaining officials and generals from Chenzhou, including the battalion trainer and the defense officer, and other big and small ten or so were all shocked on the spot!
They never imagined that Chen Yun, seemingly weak in physique, could unleash such terrifying power.
With just one move, he had pounded out a three-chun-wide, four or five chi-deep ditch!
What an enormous force!
Zhao Chao suddenly recalled his previous disregard for Chen Yun, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Yang Li, the battalion trainer, the defense officer, and other officials and generals were all feeling a chill down their spines.
Even when Chen Yun transformed into a beam of gold light, they knew that this young Taoist was not as simple as he appeared. However, they truly did not expect him to use a beam of silver light to defeat the indomitable Golden Armor Warrior, and even more did not expect him to command lightning, instantly rendering the Golden Armor Warrior powerless.
In fact, up to this point, everyone remained relatively calm.
After all, the flying needles and palm thunder had shown limited destructive power.
But when Chen Yun displayed his Ziwei Hui, he immediately unleashed his ultimate move, creating such massive commotion.
With such power, wouldn't it shatter the bones and flesh upon hitting a person?
Terrifying!
The Chen Daoist Senior is so terrifying!
Zhao Chao, Yang Li, and other officials and commanders from Chenzhou couldn't help but swallow their saliva, truly shocked by Chen Yun.
Wang Shuihui and Zhao Ke were no better either. Their eyes were staring wide open as they looked at the battlefield.
If anyone in the scene still appeared relatively calm, it might be Cai Rujin.
Cai Rujin may seem calm on the surface, but in his heart, he is actually quite surprised.
Unlike others, he can be said to have watched Chen Yun grow step by step.
From the thin and weak appearance of a small monkey when he first entered the Daoist Temple, to his later completion of Qianri Jijin, Liangu Huajing, and entering the school, every performance of Chen Yun's made Cai Rujin unable to help but exclaim.
However, he truly didn't expect that after just entering the level of a 7th-rank wizard, Chen Yun had already learned the techniques of Transcending the Ground with Golden Light, thunder magic, and Ziwei Hui. Moreover, he hadn't expected that Chen Yun would face Xie Wu ming, who was slightly more powerful than him in cultivation, and almost defeat him in a mere instant!
This combat power far surpasses his peers!
"It turns out that my young uncle has become so strong without my realizing it."
While secretly admiring Cai Rujin's heart, a sense of "danger" even emerged.
He feels that if Chen Yun continues like this, he may catch up with him in no more than thirty years.
Cai Rujin is hailed as the first genius since the founding of the Daoist Temple, and his cultivation has long reached the level of High-grade Wizard. To feel a sense of "crisis" in Chen Yun's presence, one can imagine how much he acknowledges Chen Yun's performance today!
......
Within the array.
Many soldiers of the Huang Chao army had wanted to come and help, but upon seeing Chen Yun unleash such terrifying power, they were all so scared that they dropped their armor and weapons, losing any courage to fight back.
The needles were spinning around, and Chen Yun did not leave immediately. Instead, he walked forward slowly. Although Xie Wu Ming had been injured by him with a move, it was clearly because the other party had a protective artifact, and he should still not have been killed.
There were soldiers everywhere around him, but upon seeing Chen Yun, the bloodhounds of death that was coming in their direction, they collapsed even more severely.
You have to know that morale collapse in a battlefield is a terrifying thing.
Despite the generals' efforts to stop them, the soldiers had already been scared by Chen Yun and were fleeing in a frenzy.
For a moment, the defeated soldiers were collapsing like a mountain.
Chen Yun didn't care about the soldiers at all, but looked at Xie Wu Ming who was lying in the deep pit, covered in blood, clothes disheveled, and with hair disarranged, and said, "Brother Xie, I have a higher technique. You can leave here. I won't kill you."
Xie Wu Ming was in a pitiable state, his entire body battered by the explosion and unable to find a piece of good flesh. If it hadn't been for a protective artifact, Chen Yun's attack would have taken his life instantly.
Indeed, after witnessing Chen Yun's formidable power, Xie Wu Ming looked utterly terrified and had no desire to fight anymore. He bowed and said, "Xie Wu ming must admit that I was outmatched today. I am grateful for Chen Daojun's leniency and forgiveness."
Saying that, he turned around to leave.
Chen Yun's killing intention wasn't that strong. The two of them had never had any grievances in the past. Since he had already proved his strength, letting the other party go was not a problem, and perhaps it could establish a good relationship.
He saw Xie Wu Ming turn around and was about to use the technique of Transcending the Ground with Golden Light to return to the city wall.
Who would have thought that Xie Wu Ming suddenly turned his head with great force, throwing out a rope!
Although Chen Yun had let the other party go, he was always on guard. The moment the other party made a move, Chen Yun immediately sensed it.
He gasped in amusement, "You're courting death!"
As he spoke, Chen Yun shouted loudly, "Faster!"
His reaction was quick, but he was still bound by the rope.
However, Xie Wu Ming was in dire straits.
As Chen Yun shouted "Faster!" in a single instant, a large black dog as big as an elephant and as swift as lightning appeared in the array.
The small dog flashed by Xie Wu Ming's side.
The next moment, Xie Wu Ming's head was separated from his body!
It turned out that the small dog had opened its huge mouth and bit off Xie Wu Ming's neck with ferocity!
Chen Yun scoffed coldly. He had intended to let the other party go and establish good relations, but since the other party had attacked, there was no choice but to send them on their way.
In an instant, as he retracted his artifact, he did not hesitate to use the technique of Transcending the Ground with Golden Light, instantly returning to the city wall.
......
Just as he returned to the city wall, Cai Rujin was the first to come up and meet him.
Zhao Chao, Yang Li, Wang Shuihui, Zhao Ke, and others hurriedly gathered around as well. However, since Chen Yun was bound at the moment, they dared not speak. They just stood there watching.
"Teacher Uncle, are you okay?" Cai Rujin asked with concern.
Chen Yun nodded slightly and said, "I was bound by the other party's artifact. Do you think I'm okay or not?"
Cai Rujin laughed heartily, "That binding artifact is nothing to mention. I can release it with a mere finger."
As he spoke, he reached out a finger, shouting loudly, "Faster!"
Then...
Um, then nothing happened.
Cai Rujin's face turned bright red as a tomato, and he coughed once before saying, "Well, teacher uncle, this artifact seems to be a bit weird. I will carefully study it later and definitely find a way to release it for you."
Chen Yun smiled, "No rush. If you can't figure it out, we'll go back to the Daoist Temple when we're done here. I'll ask Master Wang or Master Zheng for help."
"Don't, don't," Cai Rujin said, waving his hands. "If Master Wang or the master finds out that I didn't take good care of you, they'll skin me alive! I can definitely get it off, but it just needs some time."
Chen Yun said, "Okay."
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Shuihui and Zhao Ke, "Please find a quiet room for me. I need my nephew Cai to help me release the demonic artifact."
Before Wang Shuihui and Zhao Ke had a chance to speak, Zhao Chao quickly stepped forward, his face full of flattery, "Master Chen, let me take care of it."
Yang Li also hurriedly said, "Master Chen, let's go back to the office. I'll clear out the inner courtyard and let you and my teacher Cai live together."
"Yes, yes, yes, please quickly clear out the inner courtyard, Mr. Yang, so that Master Chen and Master Cai can have some peace and quiet." The head of the militia team also quickly said.
The defense magistrate even ran to Chen Yun's side, bending over and facing away from him, "Master Chen, since you're bound by the other party's artifact and can't move easily, I'll carry you down from the city tower to the county office."
All the officials and commanders changed their attitude!
From the beginning when Chen Yun, a young man, was called out with slight disrespect, to now, their enthusiasm was so great that it seemed unrecognizable. The group's attitude completely turned around by 180 degrees!
Wang Shuihui and Zhao Ke watched with disdain on the side, thinking to themselves that you bunch of snobs who look down on others. You didn't seem to take Master Chen seriously because of his young age, and you treated him with neglect. Now that you know Master Chen's magical abilities are amazing, you all start kowtowing?
Yes, they seem to have forgotten the same disdainful attitude when they first met Chen Yun.
Zhao Chao, Yang Li, and other officials in Chen State had no idea what Wang Shuihui and Zhao Ke were thinking. Even if they knew, they wouldn't care.
Just now, Master Chen displayed techniques such as transforming into golden light, piercing through golden armor with cold rays, and even using palm thunder—a technique of divine art. Adding to that the burst of the Ziwei Hui technique, they were already in awe of him as if he were a deity.
That's why Zhao Chao, Yang Li, and others naturally had to show goodwill towards Master Chen.
However, Chen Yun was indifferent to flattery and shook his head, "I can walk on my own. Now that the enemy formation has been disrupted, this is a good time to pursue them. Please quickly dispatch troops to ambush them. By the way, if you win this battle, remember to bring me the demonic practitioner's body and all of his belongings. Oh, let Mr. Yang take me and my nephew Cai back to the county office. You all keep busy."
"Yes."
"Please follow Master Chen's instructions."
"Thank you so much to Master Chen today."
Zhao Chao, Wang Shuihui, Zhao Ke, and other officials and commanders were grateful to tears.
Upon hearing Chen Yun's name being mentioned, Yang Li's face lit up like a flower and said happily, "Okay, okay, Master Chen and Master Cai, please follow me."
Chen Yun nodded slightly and followed by Cai Rujin down the city wall with Yang Li.
The three of them walked away.
However, Zhao Chao, Wang Shuihui, and Zhao Ke couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
He saw Zhao Chao sighing and said, "At first, when I saw Master Chen was so young, I thought he was just a small acolyte. Who knew that he possessed such divine techniques? He is truly powerful."
"Yes, Master Chen is so powerful!" The head of the militia team nodded deeply in agreement, then said regretfully, "Why didn't I realize that Master Chen was a master of profound techniques at first? I treated him with neglect. If I had known how powerful Master Chen was, I would have courted him early on. Maybe I could have established a divine connection."
The remaining dozen or so officials all secretly regretted their actions. Just like the head of the militia team said, if they had known that Master Chen was so powerful, they would have courted him earlier. However, it was too late to regret now. They knew they had missed the best opportunity to flatter a deity. If they wanted to establish a relationship with a deity, they would need to put in more effort and brainstorm more ideas.
But aren't solutions thought up by people?
Zhao Chao, the head of the militia, and other officials all had ulterior motives and were thinking about how they could make up for their previous neglect of Master Chen in order to establish a connection with him.
