The victory in both battles brought a wave of cheers from the Qidan army.
In contrast, Be Zhou city was silent.
Gouteng Daoist's face looks somewhat unpleasant.
These cultivators who have not yet achieved immortality were all invited by him.
With two "Dueling General" battles just fought and all of them captured, how could he possibly have a good attitude?
On the other hand, this time Kuemuolang has devised a strategy to use "Dueling General" battles to slow down the time when the Qidan troops attack the city.
As a result, Zhang Zhi and Wang Cheng were defeated in no time, which had little effect on delaying the time.
If this continues, Gouteng Daoist may soon have to step in to engage in a duel with someone.
Gouteng Daoist has already seen Chen Yun's existence in the Qidan troops.
He is well aware that if he were to step in for a fight, he would undoubtedly be matched against Chen Yun.
If it were in the past, with his cultivation realm far higher than Chen Yun's, he would naturally have nothing to worry about.
However, now he saw Chen Yun in high spirits, his whole body as if shrouded in mist, it's evident that his cultivation realm has surged greatly and may have already matched or even surpassed him.
There is no danger in dueling on the battlefield for most people.
People are here to earn merits, not to risk their lives.
Gouteng Daoist understands that he and Chen Yun will definitely not be this harmonious.
Once they come to blows, there's a high likelihood that they won't be able to stop without one side being victorious or defeated.
He previously avoided a fight with Chen Yun due to his reverence for Chen Yun's "Divine Messenger" status, which had already damaged his moral compass.
Now that he has found out Chen Yun's cultivation realm might even be higher than his own, his mind is even more unsettled, and he dare not truly confront him.
Exactly, Gouteng Daoist is scared before the battle, and he is indeed fearful of Chen Yun.
That's why he definitely doesn't want the cultivators of Be Zhou city to lose so quickly.
Otherwise, he may truly be slain on the spot by Chen Yun today!
On the contrary, the "commander" of the cultivators in Be Zhou city, Kuemuolang, and General Zhao Da, both appeared serene, as if the heavens collapsing and the earth splitting wouldn't cause them to change color in the slightest.
"How can this be? Zhang Daoyou and Wang Daoyou were defeated so quickly, what should we do?"
"There are indeed many powerful practitioners among the Qidan troops, and we have to take the initiative to challenge them, allowing them to respond to our moves, which puts us at a disadvantage.”
"It seems that both just now were disciples of Master Chen Pu, the teacher of mudball."
"Master Chen Pu is already famous throughout ten thousand mountains and ten thousand rivers, but I did not expect his disciples to be so powerful."
A group of cultivators whispered to each other, their eyes revealing a hint of fear.
They have heard of Master Chen Pu's fame.
They know of his extensive powers and boundless abilities.
Even before achieving immortality, he had already made a name for himself throughout the world.
Now that Chen Yun has achieved immortality, their fear is even greater.
The commander Wu Luan saw that two cultivators were defeated in a row, frowning and asking: "General, what should we do next?"
Kuemuolang waved his hand and said, "It's all right, continue to carry out the original plan."
While speaking, he looked over to one side and called out, "Luo Ye."
An old man in green robes, with red eyes and a strange appearance, stood out and bowed with his fists, "Yes, General. What is your command?"
Kuemuolang said, "Your practiced alien skill is difficult to counter. In this battle, you will go into the field. Remember, if you are defeated, retreat into the city; they won't dare to chase after you inside the city walls."
Luo Ye said, "I will follow the instructions of the star official."
After speaking, he lightly waved his green robe, causing mist to rise beneath his feet. He suddenly appeared in an open field.
Luo Ye said softly, "The cultivator Luo Ye from the distant Stone Basin is here. Who dares to challenge me?"
He appeared to be muttering to himself, but as soon as his voice left his mouth, it immediately turned into rolling waves.
In an instant, the sky darkened, the earth trembled, and sand and stones flew.
It's clear to anyone that Luo Ye is very powerful.
His cultivation realm is far from comparable to Zhang Zhi and Wang Cheng before!
……
The Qidan army, central command tent.
Zhao Yanlong looked and saw that there were more cultivators coming to fight. He couldn't help but frown and say, "Master Chen, it seems that the cultivators in Be Zhou city are deliberately delaying time."
Li Jing, known as the military god of the Tang Dynasty, had also learned Zhen Tian Xuan Nv's martial arts. Naturally, he was very familiar with these tactics. "If I'm not mistaken, they are indeed delaying our attack. But I'm not sure why they're doing it."
Nezha snorted and said, "What else could it be? Kuemuolang and Zhao Da are not my match, right? They must be using the delaying tactic to wait for reinforcement."
Jiushou Niuhuo Luo Wang coldly snorted, "I see, I thought they were going to duel, but if it weren't for Kuemuolang's mastery over me, I would have taken Be Zhou city and killed everyone in it with ease! You guys don't even have to get involved!"
"Great King of the Buffalo, in matters between cultivators, it's best not to harm the ordinary people."
Chen Yun reminded him and looked at Zhao Yanlong, "Zhao commander, don't worry. Let them continue to send people to duel. My disciples will defeat them all without much delay."
Li Jing couldn't help but glance at Chen Yun, with a hint of astonishment in his gaze. As a once-great military commander, he well understood the principle of swift victory. In matters such as capturing a city, it was always better to strike fast and break through quickly. Sieging a city was already difficult; if they continued to stall and the enemy sent reinforcements to form a pincer attack, not only would capturing the city be out of reach, but there might even be an "enclosed trap" situation where they would be caught and eliminated.
Now, Chen Yun is saying that they should continue to duel with the enemy, which clearly leaves only two possibilities.
The first possibility is that he doesn't understand military affairs.
Li Jing feels this is unlikely because before the Qidan troops moved, Chen Yun had already guessed their route. A person who doesn't understand military affairs couldn't have done that.
Then, there is only the second possibility left.
That's right. Chen Yun is doing this for a purpose.
To be honest, Li Jing really couldn't figure out what Chen Yun was aiming for.
Li Jing was not clear about what was happening.
Chen Yun naturally wouldn't be unaware of it.
He really had a different purpose.
His purpose is to prompt Gouteng Daoist to enter the fight as soon as possible, then take the opportunity to kill the other side.
Chen Yun knows that he only has one opportunity to destroy Gouteng Daoist in this divine battle.
Once the enemy realizes how high his cultivation realm has surged, he will definitely not fight again in the future.
Then, the only way to kill him would be after the divine battle is over.
Now that such a good opportunity exists, Chen Yun wouldn't give up on it to seek something far away.
Therefore, he deliberately accepted the challenges from the cultivators of Be Zhou city, solely to force Gouteng Daoist out into the open.
Zhao Yanlong listened to Chen Yun's orders implicitly, and upon hearing that he wanted to duel, he naturally didn't dare to say anything else.
He asked politely, "Mr. Chen, there is an alien visitor challenging us. Who should we send this time?"
Chen Yun scrutinized Luo Ye carefully. He noticed that Luo Ye's cultivation was about late level of Gao Gong (high skill) cultivator, not very high, but there was something eerie about him.
Being cautious, he called out seriously, "If you are afraid, let it be me. If I cannot defeat him, don't force it."
Gong Jiguizi possessed mid-stage teachings master realm cultivation.
On paper, he could annihilate Luo Ye without any problem.
Plus, he is a spirit that has become a monkey, and if he reveals his true form, he will be even more powerful.
Therefore, Chen Yun summoned Gong Jiguizi to fight out of caution.
Gong Jiguizi stepped forward, full of confidence, "Teacher, I will definitely capture him!"
After speaking, he transformed into a beam of golden light, heading straight for Luo Ye.
……
On the battlefield.
Upon landing on the battlefield, Gong Jiguizi reached out and summoned a crude knife with his right hand. "I am Gong Jiguizi, a disciple of Chen Zhengran of Qingcheng mountain's Da Feng peak. I have come to fight."
Luo Ye bowed and said, "Mr. Gong, you have my respects. Please prepare yourself, as I will be casting a spell."
Gong Jiguizi didn't overstep himself. He opened his mouth and spat out, causing the fire of the mountain spirit to gush out.
Such a fire!
The smoke was dark, the flames were fierce, the sky above was clear of a single star, and the earth below was illuminated with a hundred miles of red light.
The flames followed the wind, and the inferno shot up thousands of feet. The fire used the wind's might, and the ashes burst into the sky.
Crackling and popping, the sound of intense explosions rose, like fireworks during the New Year celebrations, shaking the heavens and earth!
Standing on the city walls, Wu Luan could feel the intense heat and seem to be melting like it. Without a doubt, he was impressed by Gong Jiguizi's power.
The rest of the ordinary soldiers and officers watched this scene with pale faces, assuming that Luo Ye would be defeated instantly.
To their surprise, as soon as the flames began to rise, Gong Jiguizi let out a piercing scream and then the mountain spirit's fire dissipated completely. He also suddenly transformed into a beam of golden light and fled.
Only Luo Ye remained calmly standing in place, laughing and saying, "As it turns out, even the disciples of the Master Chen are no better. Qidan traitors, who dares to battle me next?"
The roar was tumultuous, piercing through clouds and splitting stones, truly arrogant and unbeatable!
The many soldiers and officers in Be Zhou city cheered loudly after seeing Luo Ye annihilate Gong Jiguizi in an instant.
……
This time, it was the turn of the Qidan army to fall silent.
The ordinary soldiers and officers looked at each other in confusion, clearly unaware of why Gong Jiguizi suddenly fled after being defeated.
The central command tent.
Gong Jiguizi fell to the ground abruptly, his face as pale as gold, "Teacher, I am ashamed, ashamed. I have brought shame upon your name. I really could not stand up against that cultivator Luo Ye. When we fought, he suddenly spat out a green ray of light. I felt an intense pain that was almost unbearable, and my magical power was nearly unusable. I had to flee back as soon as possible."
Chen Yun noticed that there was a deep wound on Gong Jiguizi's arm, but there was no blood flowing out of it.
On the contrary, there were green light waves like fireflies flickering around it, as if they were preventing the wound from healing.
Moreover, as time passed, these green lights had deeply suppressed Gong Jiguizi's magical power.
To be honest, he was also somewhat surprised and unsure of what was going on.
It's not that Chen Yun didn't see Luo Ye's actions clearly.
He was clear that he had seen Luo Ye spit out a green ray, which was as thin as a needle and hit Gong Jiguizi's arm with an unimaginable speed.
This was because Gong Jiguizi managed to dodge quickly.
If he had dodged slower, it might have directly penetrated his brain.
Chen Yun used his magical power to condense a "life energy" that enveloped Gong Jiguizi's wound, trying to drive out the green light.
terrifying things happened. Even the "life energy" that can drive out the divine energy of chaotic demons, couldn't do much to stop the green light on Gong Jiguizi's wound. It could only suppress it from spreading further, but it couldn't truly eliminate it.
Chen Yun immediately realized that the green light must be a terrifying poison formed by some rare cosmic energy. It required the corresponding antidote to cure it.
He kept his expression unchanged and waved his hand, "It's all right, victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Go and rest for a while. I will come to treat your wound later."
Gong Jiguizi felt embarrassed and left.
Zhao Yanlong asked carefully, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Gong has been defeated. What should we do?"
Chen Yun did not answer the question immediately. His gaze swept over his many disciples and followers for a moment, pondering whom to send in next.
Just now, Gong Jiguizi had good fortune and was able to escape back in time.
If the person sent out next couldn't escape back, then he would truly lose disciples.
In fact, Chen Yun knew that if he sent his followers like Chang Wei and Jiao Daoren, who had been bestowed divine status or had ascended to immortality, winning would not be an issue.
Just that Chang Wei is a divine family from the Northeast, and he has a divine position himself. Jiao Daoren has also achieved immortality.
If he sent these two people up, it might seem like using might to bully the weak, and it would be ridiculed if it were spread around.
Chen Yun knew that he needed to send a follower who had no divine position and had not achieved enlightenment or immortality.
To be honest, among the followers of Chen Yun who have not achieved enlightenment or been bestowed divine status, Gong Jiguizi's cultivation realm is among the top.
Now he has been defeated, others are probably even harder to win.
Chen Yun really couldn't think of who to send up to subdue Luo Ye at that moment.
If they cannot subdue him, it is not acceptable.
If his side can't win against the cultivators from Be Zhou city, he won't be able to force Gouteng Daoist to come out.
Then, not only would Be Zhou city achieve its goal of delaying time, but he would also come out with nothing.
Suddenly, Chen Yun noticed Gu Wang Wei Su, and his heart stirred.
Gong Jiguizi was a corporeal being, and it was easy for the poison to invade his body.
Although Gu Wang Wei Su has a form, it is not a true corporeal body and should not fear the poison.
Moreover, since Gu Wang Wei Su has been cultivating Taoist Qigong under his tutelage, his cultivation has reached the mid-stage of a teaching master.
With such a high cultivation realm, as long as he is not hindered by the poison, subduing Luo Ye should be a piece of cake.
With a plan in mind, Chen Yun called out, "Wei Su."
Wearing a hidden state that ordinary people cannot see, Wei Su appeared immediately and said, "Teacher, I am here."
Chen Yun placed his hands behind his back and said, "Go and meet Luo Ye."
Wei Su said, "Disciple accepts the command."
Chen Yun also instructed, "If you win, do not immediately return. Continue the challenge. Once you see that there is an enlightened or immortal among them, you should immediately admit defeat. Then it will be up to me."
Wei Su asked, "What if they don't let me retreat after I admit defeat?"
Chen Yun said, "Don't worry, enlightened or immortal cultivators won't be so shameless to bully the weak. If they really do this, just surrender. As long as you don't struggle or resist, they won't really harm you. I will break into their city and then save you out."
With some confidence in his heart, Wei Su said, "Good, I will go to fight now."
With that, he transformed into a dense and intense black gas, immediately covering the entire sky.
In an instant, the entire sky was like the rolling waves of a sea, full of surging and roaring black gas.
The terrifying ghostly qi was like a sharp knife, ferociously tearing through the air, spreading out in pieces of cracks.
Suddenly, a fierce storm raged.
The sky was dim, the earth was dark, and the mountains and rivers shook.
Such a grandiose display of power made people feel as if the King of Ghosts was about to shatter the world!
In a moment, the surging black qi, like a rolling dragon, arrived in front of Luo Ye and completely enveloped him.
The ghost qi suddenly expanded and spread, covering the sky and earth in a dense and intense atmosphere.
In an instant, outside of Be Zhou city, all that remained was the howling of the grim winds and the pervasive darkness of the ghostly qi!
People saw nothing but pitch black density, and even if they stretched their fingers, they couldn't see anything clearly.
Before the crowd could react, the surging black qi retreated like the receding tide and turned back to the side of the Qidan army.
In the next moment, Zhao Yanlong and the other ordinary soldiers and officers saw something falling from the sky. They quickly focused their eyes to take a closer look.
This was not a good thing to see.
A look revealed that it was Luo Ye, the cultivator from the Wanshi Shantang school, who had been so arrogant and unbeatable just moments before.
The crowd was shocked, seemingly not expecting Gu Wang Wei Su to be so powerful. They didn't expect Luo Ye, who had been defeated so quickly and embarrassingly by Gong Jiguizi, to be able to fight back against Wei Su in just one move.
At this moment, just as the crowd was somewhat astonished.
Suddenly, the vast open space in front of them echoed with the challenge of Gu Wang Wei Su, "I am Wei Su, a disciple of the Chining Mountain Great Summit by the name of Chen Zhenren. I have already defeated your alien cultivator. Who among you dares to come and fight me to the death?"
In his words, Wei Su's black qi surged out of him as if a mountain had collapsed.
His body swelled with the wind, instantly growing to over a thousand li in height, with the black qi surging wildly and flames dancing around.
As this terrifying ghost king revealed his true form.
The black qi instantly filled the sky and earth outside of Be Zhou city.
Immediately, the surroundings turned pitch black and dense, blocking out the light of day and becoming steamy.
The plants and trees on the ground suddenly turned into charred coal!
After the black qi completely enveloped the space, flames were jumping everywhere.
And with the collapse of the black qi, it seemed as if the sky had caved in, creating an eerie atmosphere of Yin and Yang in the mountains and fields above.
Zizi, zizi.
A series of sparks were flashing on the heavily compressed black qi.
Water vapor condensed and floated in the air, forming a scene similar to the chaotic beginning of water, wind, and fire!
Such a scene directly covered an area of hundreds of miles.
It seemed like a dark red large pot cover, crashing down fiercely.
A series of earth-shaking tremors, causing heaven to darken and the earth to crack, shaken the human heart.
Within the sky and earth covered by a large amount of black qi, lightning, and flames, water vapor.
Such a terrifying strength was palpable to everyone!
The terrifying appearance of the ghost king, who stood over a thousand li high with flames dancing around him, was even more frightening!
What kind of evil spirit was this?
A layer upon layer of thick, dark clouds were like a fountain, emitting from the giant body of the evil ghost without end, forming one after another reversed "hands."
The black qi emitted by the evil ghost was extremely thick and sticky. The heaviness of the aroma was much heavier than mercury, tens or hundreds of times so.
At the same time, there was an extremely fierce aura contained within the black qi, as if all things in the heavens and earth would be torn into shreds before it!
Gu Wang Wei Su, a cultivator at the mid-stage of the teaching master realm, displayed his abilities and immediately shocked all the ordinary cultivators in Be Zhou city who had not achieved enlightenment or immortality.
It was clear to everyone that this ghost king was not something that could be subdued by an ordinary cultivator who had not achieved enlightenment or immortality!
In an instant, the remaining cultivators collectively turned their eyes to Kui Mulang, General Zhao Da, and Guoteng Daoist.
They were very clear that in order to drive away Gu Wang Wei Su, the only option was for these three people to come out.
It didn't matter that the cultivators were looking around.
There was something to it, and the face of Guoteng Daoist turned as cold and iron gray as stone.
Because he knew that people like Gu Wang Wei Su, a "little character," Qui Mulang and Zhao Da would not be able to afford to lower their dignity to attack.
Then the only result would be that he, Guoteng Daoist, would have to go up and deal with Gu Wang Wei Su.
And when he, Guoteng Daoist, went into battle, Chen Yun would undoubtedly join in as well!
Guoteng Daoist's fists were clenched secretly in his sleeves, knowing that today's battle with Chen Yun was inevitable!
