At noon, there was a sound of gunfire and shouting in Tang's camp.
Han Xun led a group of soldiers to form a camp. There were more than 10,000 troops, dark and dense, filling the empty space outside Jingling City.
Opposite in Jingling City, Gao Ji-xing, Xu Zhi-gao and other commanders of Nanping and Nanwu kingdoms all climbed to the city tower to observe the massed troops ahead.
Only, Tang's army set up a bamboo pavilion in front of the big army, faint flags fluttered, misty auspiciousness filled the air. On both sides, there were officials from Tang's court.
On the left were Cai Rujin and Mr. Geng leading a group of officials.
On the right, Huang Wan You and Zhang Jianming led another team.
How can it be seen?
As proof, here is a poem:
The sound of jade bells and golden chimes divides,
Beneath Jiangling City, auspicious clouds arise.
Since today, we will break the ten-destroyer formation and spread Chen Pu's fame throughout ten armies.
It is said that Chen Yun held the Golden Chopping Sword, and ordered the officials to descend from the pavilion, walk in formation, and slowly advance.
Chen Yun looked ahead at the ten formations.
Only, mist swirled and glimmered with light.
Even with his master's realm initial cultivation, he could not discern the situation.
Huang Wan You asked in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, do you have a way to break the formation?"
Everyone turned to look at Chen Yun.
Chen Yun looked for a long time and shook his head, "I can't see the situation inside the array, it's hard to say."
Cai Rujin proposed, "Let us go and make the first attack first, let Master You see the situation inside the array and then we can discuss how to break the formation."
Chen Yun thought it feasible, "Good, remember to protect your own when making the first move."
"We will be careful."
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, we won't waste our lives for no reason."
A group of officials surrounded Chen Yun and responded.
While they were chatting, suddenly a cannon shot rang out from the Tianmiao Formation ahead.
As the formation gate opened, two flags stirred, and a man walked out in a row.
How does he look like: his face is red as heavy dates, his hair is grey white, he rides a green eyed blue sheep.
Upon arriving at the front of the army, this man shouted loudly, "I am Guo Wuwei, a spiritual cultivator from Wudang, who dares to break my Tianmiao Formation?"
When Chen Yun heard this person's name, he immediately remembered that this person later became a disciple of the Later Han and did not expect to see him here.
Since he did not understand the method of the Ten-Method Extinction Array, he glanced at the group of officials beside him and asked, "Who would go to have a look? Let me see how the Tianmiao Formation looks like?"
Cai Rujin stepped forward first and said, "Uncle, I'll go and meet this Guo Wuwei."
Chen Yun nodded and said, "Good, don't be too aggressive, don't disturb the array, come back immediately. I will handle it."
Cai Rujin replied, "Yes."
Said and done, Cai Rujin reached out and, from thin air, a divine sword appeared. He flew to the front of the Tianmiao Formation, made a kowtow, and said, "Brother Guo, Cai comes to break the formation."
Guo Wuwei laughed and said, "You filthy Cai Rujin, I let you escape last time, but this time I will definitely capture you and bring you back!"
Cai Rujin still maintained a polite demeanor, "Brother Guo, if you have such confidence, then I will strike first. I apologize."
As soon as Cai Rujin finished speaking, he raised his divine sword in his hand, stepped on the coiling square, and a fiery dragon appeared behind him, ready to strike.
Guo Wuwei showed no fear at all, lifted his willow branch in his hand, and suddenly there were more than ten massive streams of water appearing in the air, rushing towards Cai Rujin.
Cai Rujin swirled his divine sword repeatedly, recited incantations, and activated the fiery dragon. With a roar, he tangled with the ten huge streams of water.
The sky was filled with blazing flames, and the air was filled with mist.
For a moment, half of the sky outside the city of Jingling was filled with clashing spells, causing fire and water colors to alternate and fiercely compete in the sky.
Perhaps both Cai Rujin and Guo Wuwei knew that this was the mortal realm, and they could not unleash too much power, as it would cause countless deaths and injuries.
Therefore, neither party put their full power into the battle.
Fought for a moment, the fiery dragon faintly suppressed the ten streams of water.
Guo Wuwei realized that he could not defeat Cai Rujin, said no more, and turned to walk towards the array.
Cai Rujin laughed loudly and followed closely behind, transforming into a golden light.
In the next moment, Chen Yun observed that there was a board in the array, with a few desks on it. On the desks were three red banners.
Guo Wuwei picked up the middle large banner, lightly shook it, and the other two banners automatically began to rotate for no apparent reason.
In an instant, thunderclaps resounded in the array, with countless bolts of lightning spreading throughout.
Cai Rujin's qi and essence were released from his body, and he used incantations to cast a Taiji defense. He was still beaten up terribly.
Chen Yun had already understood the situation of the Tianmiao Formation, and said softly, "Cousin Cai, come back."
Cai Rujin quickly transformed into a golden light and tried to leave.
Guo Wuwei, of course, was not going to let Cai Rujin escape. He drove the green-eyed blue sheep forward and struck downwards with his willow branch towards Cai Rujin's back.
Suddenly, Chen Yun stepped forward and pointed his golden sword. The air instantly rippled, and the attack from Guo Wuwei was repelled.
It was during this interval that Cai Rujin had already returned to the group.
He said with a look of helplessness, "I am ashamed. There were thunderbolts everywhere inside the formation, and I could barely defend myself. Fortunately, you came to my aid; otherwise, even if I managed to escape, I would have been injured."
"The thunder inside the Tianmiao Formation is too strange for ordinary people to bear."
"That's right. Previously, Mr. Zhou was merely struck by a thread of lightning and then recovered for more than ten days."
"Cousin Cai, you are already very powerful for coming out unscathed."
Zhang Jianming, Mr. Geng, and Huang Wan You and others comforted him.
...
In the rear.
Although Kong Xun and the other soldiers were of mortal flesh and blood, how could they not see what was happening right in front of them?
Cai Rujin is so powerful, but even when he enters the formation, he is still beaten up so badly.
This makes Kong Xun and the other soldiers deeply realize that the formation set by the gods in front is indeed very difficult to break.
"Ah, it seems we will return without having achieved anything today."
"Even Cai Mr. couldn't break the formation, it's hard."
"I wonder if Mr. Chen can break the formation."
"It's hard to say, we haven't seen Mr. Chen's prowess."
Kong Xun and the other soldiers were whispering to themselves over there, but they all looked quite gloomy, and did not believe that they would be able to break the Ten-Destroyer Array today.
...
In the city of Jiangling.
Gao Ji-xing and Xu Zhi-gao and others saw that Guo Wuwei had won Cai Rujin, and they all looked quite energetic.
Gao Ji-xing roared with laughter and said, "Their assistance has not yet joined the battle, but with the Ten-Method Extinction Array set by Mr. Liang here, I'm afraid that Tang's army will still not be able to advance."
Xu Zhi-gao also heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Although Mr. Chen is formidable, the Ten-Method Extinction Array is even more so. It seems that Jiangling will be safe and sound."
The other officials from Nanching and Nanyu were also joyfully celebrating.
Instead, Liang Zhhen and Xue Wenjie and others, their faces looked very serious.
They could of course tell that Chen Yun's sending Cai Rujin to test the formation was merely to see how it worked.
Now that the situation inside the formation has been revealed, if Chen Yun truly has the ability to break through, he would likely step forward immediately.
Xue Wenjie knew well of Chen Yun's true power, but he did not know whether he could break the array. He stood on the city wall and frowned.
Liang Zhen and the other cultivators had only heard of Chen Yun's formidable reputation, and had no idea of his true power. Now, all of them widened their eyes, wanting to see if Chen Yun would join the battle and witness his prowess.
...
Just as the mood of the crowd was fluctuating.
Just as Guo Wuwei had just defeated Cai Rujin with the aid of the formation, he rode the green-eyed blue sheep out of the formation and laughed loudly, "Cai Rujin, your Chunshan Zhengyuan Observation only amounts to this. Who dares to break my Tianmiao Formation?"
Chen Yun held the golden sword with one hand and said, "I, the poor Daoist, come to meet you."
Guo Wuwei looked at the unfamiliar person and asked hurriedly, "May I ask who you are?"
Chen Yun hovered in mid-air, expressionless, and said, "I am Chen Pu, a disciple of Zongshan Ningyang Cave and the student of Mr. Zhengyang."
Guo Wuwei was startled upon hearing that the man was Chen Pu, and didn't dare to fight as he did before. He grabbed the green-eyed blue sheep and turned to walk back into the array, "Chen Pu, if you have the ability, come into my formation."
Chen Yun flew through the air, step by step creating auspicious clouds, heading towards the grand formation, "Don't be in a hurry, Chen Mu will come."
As he spoke, the auspicious clouds formed a torrent and swirled into the formation.
Everyone's eyes widened as they watched Chen Yun enter the Tianmiao Formation.
Whether it was Huang Wan You, Mr. Geng, Zhang Jianming, and Cai Rujin, or Kong Xun and the Tang army soldiers, or the opposite side's Gao Ji-xing, Xu Zhi-gao, Liang Zhen, and Xue Wenjie, everyone wanted to see if Chen Yun had the ability to break the formation.
...
In the array.
Guo Wuwei saw Chen Pu enter the array and laughed, "Chen Pu, I know you are formidable, but within this formation, you are definitely not my match. If I can defeat you today, my name will be renowned throughout the world."
Chen Yun smiled and said, "To make your name known throughout the world by defeating me, you have to show me if you have the ability!"
Guo Wuwei was angry and swung the large banner again.
Rumble, rumbles, and the sound of rolling thunder suddenly resounded within the array.
Suddenly, zilala, endless bolts of lightning appeared out of nowhere.
From the outside, this place seems like a very narrow space.
In reality, after entering the formation, Chen Yun found that the inside seemed like another world, boundless and limitless.
The so-called thunder, unlike what was seen from outside as tiny currents, was actually as thick as a bucket.
There were tens of thousands of thunderbolts as thick as buckets, filling the space.
Under Guo Wuwei's control, the thunderbolts were wildly thundering towards Chen Yun.
If an ordinary cultivator were here, they would definitely immediately cast a protective spell.
However, Chen Yun stood motionless over there, without any intention of defending himself.
Guo Wuwei was startled and thought that Chen Yun was scared by the countless thunderbolts.
Liang Zhen and Xue Wenjie, among the cultivators, exchanged a glance, and all saw confusion in each other's eyes.
They couldn't understand why Chen Pu, with such a formidable reputation, seemed to have no ability to defend against these thunderbolts.
Cai Rujin, Huang Wan You, and Mr. Geng and others also looked very puzzled.
Not just the cultivators, but even the common soldiers like Gao Ji-xing, Xu Zhi-gao, and Kong Xun and their tens of thousands of troops, as they watched the thunder submerge Chen Yun, each showed a look of confusion. This Mr. Chen is clearly Cai Rujin's teacher's uncle, so how could he be in a worse situation than his apprentice?
Just as everyone was puzzled.
Suddenly, there was a loud "boom" within the array.
Immediately afterwards, a ray of golden light suddenly shone amidst the thunder.
This golden light was incredibly strange. As soon as it rose, it expanded and blocked the thunder from all sides.
Guo Wuwei saw this and hurriedly swung the large banner again to gather more thunder, hoping to break through Chen Yun's golden light defense.
But no matter how Guo Wuwei swung the large banner or how the thunder surged, it could not break through the golden light.
Now Guo Wuwei was shocked, "What kind of cultivation power are you, and why can't even the ten thousand thunderbolts break through your defense?"
Chen Yun showed no sense of satisfaction, but simply took a step forward, "Guo Daoist friend, I apologize. Today, I intend to capture you and make you my prisoner!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden light surging through his body divided into a stream, transforming into a majestic and agile golden dragon that fiercely grasped towards Guo Wuwei.
Guo Wuwei was terrified, and he clapped his hands, trying to dodge the giant golden dragon.
Who would have thought that the golden light was too fast. Before anyone could blink, it had already arrived at Guo Wuwei's head and struck him fiercely.
Guo Wuwei was instantly knocked off the green-eyed blue sheep, and the large banner in his hand fell to the ground.
Perhaps it was because there was no one controlling the array, the thunderbolts disappeared all at once.
Fortunately, Chen Yun did not have the intention to kill, otherwise that one move earlier would have been enough to instantly kill Guo Wuwei.
After Chen Yun defeated Guo Wuwei, he reached out with his hand, summoned the Yellow Turban Soldier token, and released the Yellow Turban Soldier to capture Guo Wuwei and return with him.
Chen Yuǎn was able to easily break through the array and capture Guo Wuwei.
However, everyone watching was shocked.
Cai Rujin, Huang Wan You, Mr. Geng, and Zhang Jianming, among others, widened their eyes!
Liang Zhen, Xue Wenjie, and other officials from Nanping and Nanbei also couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The Tang troops and officials led by Kong Xun, as well as the troops from Nanping and Nanbei led by Gao Ji-xing and Xu Zhi-gao, all widened their eyes in shock.
No one had expected that Chen Yun was so formidable; entering the array, he didn't even need to exert much effort to break it and capture Guo Wuwei!
