Chapter 383
383 Chapter 382-the situation is bad
The battle five days ago had lasted for two whole days.
Weiyun Grandmaster had already revealed his dharma body in the battle. The image of the indomitable fairy held a green and blue long blade, which was made of the purest true essence. At the beginning of the battle, she fiercely slashed at the defense line of the big River.
A large number of waves were set off in the river that was as wide as the sea. In the long river, countless spiritual energy gushed out from the river.
The Dharma plane was the strongest level in the current cultivation world. However, the Dharma form was still unable to resist the pure power of heaven and earth.
It was a small matter for the three nascent soul cultivators to be controlling from behind. If there was no big River, the three nascent soul cultivators would be easily destroyed in front of Wei Yun.
And what was displayed here was not the power of the three nascent soul realm cultivators from Wei.
After Wei Yun spent some effort to break through the first layer of the defense line, three giant Dragons flew out of the river.
These three dragons were remarkably lifelike. They had dragon scales, claws, eyes, and noses. However, in essence, they were formed from the essence of the great river. The essence came from the ancient dragon King that had been at the bottom of the river and had almost fused with the great river.
The three dragons could not leave the river’s range, but each of them had the strength of a Dharma laksana.
Of course, they were only similar. The attack power of the three Big River Dragons was not as strong as that of the materialization. At best, they were at the peak of the original infant stage. This meant that the damage they could cause to a Dharma master like Weiyun was relatively limited, and the threat level was lower. However, their defensive power was no weaker than that of early Dharma stage or even mid Dharma stage cultivators. In addition, they could be replenished at any time from The Endless River, which made them very difficult to deal with.
After fighting with the three Big River Dragons for two days, Weiyun was not able to take them down. He even suffered some light injuries and had to retreat temporarily.
And after Weiyun had retreated and recuperated, the impact that Great Yan could cause to the defense line on the great river would be even lower. It could only be said that they would launch some routine attacks, but if they could not even take down the Dharma idol, it would be meaningless to fight it head-on. On the contrary, it would be easier to lose elite cultivators for nothing.
Lu Qing felt indignant as well.
When the Army of Yan Kingdom was trapped in front of the defense line of the great river Kingdom, he had crossed the defense line many times and investigated through the state of his consciousness body.
Of course, there were results.
The three Big River Dragons were formed by the power of the three nascent soul cultivators of Wei. They had heard of the big River formation and activated the power of the big River.
If he wanted to solve the problem, there was a relatively easy way-kill these three Yuanying stage cultivators. At the defense line of the big River, without advanced cultivators, it would be impossible to summon the big River Dragon at the level of the great river formation. At that time, if Weiyun attacked again, it should be easier to break the defense line in the great river.
Then, the problem now was, how could he kill the three Yuanying stage cultivators before the defense line on the big River was broken?
It might be possible to take a detour, but it would take a long time. The great rivers within the Wei Kingdom’s borders were definitely within the scope of the defensive line and could not be bypassed. They could go west and enter the country of Liang.
However, that would depend on whether Liang guole was willing to do so. They definitely couldn’t act rashly, or else there would be huge problems.
In fact, the Wei Kingdom’s diplomatic envoy was already urgently discussing this matter with the Liang Kingdom.
However, the results were hard to say. The country of Liang’s attitude was very ambiguous.
The other option was to go east and borrow the Qi state.
There was no problem with whether he agreed or not with this plan. In the past, no matter how many conflicts and slights there were between Yan and Qi, they were now close comrades standing on the same front, and Qi would support them very much.
However, Xuanji, great Qi, and great Wei were currently fighting with all their might on the battlefield. It would be too difficult to cross the battlefield and reach the back of the defense line.
The two roads that went around the river didn’t work.
However, under such circumstances, Lu Qing still had another method.
Lu mingheng was now on the south bank of the big River. However, if there was a need, he could call for Lu Qing to go from the South to the back of the line of defense at the great river. Then, Lu Qing would activate the resurrection exchange tab and go to the back.
This way, his surprise attack would definitely be something that the Wei Army at the defense line couldn’t predict. With his ability, it was not impossible to ambush three nascent soul cultivators.
Moreover, Lu Qing had more than one option to exchange for resurrection.
However, the revival exchange tab was still too precious. Lu Qing did not want to use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
He was a little hesitant now.
However, Lu Qing had no choice but to use it after he heard the news from the Wei Kingdom.
……
The Army of Yan Kingdom was trapped in the defense line of the great river Kingdom, but the demonic chaos in Wei Kingdom continued to develop.
The demonic chaos erupted too quickly.
In the beginning, it was the local self-cultivation forces, such as some small sects and families, who were handling this matter. However, how could they fight against the possessed who were controlled by the ghost-faced God Chen Man?
Moreover, these local cultivation forces …
These cultivation forces had played a small role in containing the demonic chaos in the early stages, but they were quickly destroyed.
After that, the capital of Wei, xudu, squeezed out the last batch of forces. Led by the nascent soul cultivators who stayed behind to guard the city, they took the initiative to attack and entered dizhou.
However, this time, not only did they fail, but they also suffered huge casualties. Those who managed to escape were those who were lucky. Even the nascent soul cultivator did not manage to escape and died in dizhou.
Although there was no follow-up information, the dead nascent soul realm cultivator from the Wei country had probably become Chen man’s nourishment. He had been refined into another nascent soul realm clone of his, replenishing the loss of the nascent soul realm clone that Lu Qing had killed.
Even the nascent soul cultivators didn’t come back. This matter completely shocked the Wei country. It was also at this moment that they truly believed that Chen Man had indeed joined the devil and that the Yan Kingdom wasn’t spouting nonsense.
It was because of this that the great Wei’s Dharma laksana at the front line had to return.
If there was a real threat, it would definitely be the demon Chaos and Chen Man who were close at hand, which were more dangerous. After all, on the way to the South of the Yan Kingdom, they could rely on the great river Defense line. From dizhou to the North, they would directly reach Xu Zhou, where the capital of the great Wei Kingdom,’Xu capital’, was located.
Even if the Wei Kingdom was destroyed by the Yan Kingdom, they were still human. The Yan Kingdom did not just want the land. Many of the Wei Kingdom’s people and cultivators could still survive. However, if the Wei Kingdom were to be destroyed in the demonic uprising, not only would the kingdom be destroyed, but even its race would be annihilated.
Under this scale, it was very simple to make a choice.
Great Wei was in the North. In front of the great river Defense line, he left three nascent soul cultivators. Then, the Dharma idol returned to xudu, gathered another team, and headed south.
This time, the cultivators of the Wei Kingdom were more cautious. Even with a Dharma plane expert leading the team, they did not enter dizhou recklessly. Instead, they advanced at the border.
However, in the face of this demonic uprising, great Wei had clearly missed the opportunity to kill it, which was relatively easy in the early stages.
The battle was extremely difficult.
Most importantly, the main force of the Wei country’s cultivator Army was on the eastern side of the Qi and Wei battlefields. The other group of elites were at the northern defense line against the Yan Kingdom. As for the local cultivators in dizhou, they had already been transferred to support the war in the east and the North. After the demonic uprising, their vitality had been greatly damaged and they had no choice. As for the cultivators of Xu Prefecture, they had also suffered heavy losses in their previous defeat in the South.
As of now, the number of Wei cultivators in the southern region was insufficient in both numbers and the average strength of the cultivators.
The two sides were in a stalemate. The speed at which the human cultivators advanced to the South and took over the lost land was very slow.
The Dharma laksana of the Wei Kingdom finally couldn’t help but make a move.
This Big Shot had finally revealed his identity to the intelligence agents of the entire cultivation world.
The great Wei’s Marquis Xuanwu was a person who was conferred the title of Marquis due to his military achievements. According to the intelligence systems of various countries, this former deputy of Xia Cang was one of the Dharma experts of the great Wei who might have hidden their power. Now, it was finally confirmed.
Marquis Xuanwu, Zheng Yu, had personally taken action. After displaying his strength at the materialization realm, he quickly purified the entire southern region of Xu Prefecture that had been invaded by the demonic uprising.
It was also in this place that every Wei cultivator who participated in the battle felt the horror of the demonic chaos.
It was not an exaggeration to describe this place as barren.
Devilized people had killed almost all the living beings in the places they had wreaked havoc. Not only humans, but even some birds and beasts would not be let off.
Those who were lucky enough to survive were extremely, extremely few, and most of them were hiding in unpopulated places, barely keeping their lives.
They were now more deeply aware than ever that the matter of suppressing the demonic uprising could not be delayed any longer.
Now, there were cultivator legions gathered at the border between Xu state and di state. It was no longer easy for the demonic chaos to spread to the North. However, there were no Dharma plane experts like Zheng Yu to guard the South.
To the South of dizhou, from west to east, were Xinzhou, Haozhou, and Huaizhou.
These three places had already received the notice from the Wei imperial court and had urgently mobilized their forces to wait at the border of the province.
As for the whole of dizhou, they were already at the point of being abandoned.
However, could the three states in the South withstand it?
Most of the people who had a certain understanding of the demonic uprising were very pessimistic.
In fact, it was true.
Huaizhou’s border was first broken.
The possessed cultivators swarmed out and flooded the line of defense formed by the cultivators of Huaizhou. The two nascent Soul Avatars of Chen Man attacked at the same time, causing the line of defense in Huaizhou to lose its balance.
When he heard the news that the border of Huaizhou had been opened, Zheng Yu was obviously anxious.
He began to attack more frequently and was no longer as cautious. Instead, he led the Wei Kingdom’s Army of cultivators to speed up their movements South. He hoped to head south as soon as possible and destroy the remaining forces of the possessed in dizhou.
At the same time, on the battlefield of Qi and Wei, the Wei’s Eastern punitive expedition had no choice but to split up a cultivator Army, especially two nascent soul cultivators. They quickly headed Southwest and entered Huai province.
Dizhou was already done for. Huaizhou could not be done for as well.
If something big really happened in Huaizhou, then not to mention what would happen after this demonic rebellion, the Wu State would probably send troops.
To the South of Huaizhou was huaishui, and after huaishui, they would reach Luzhou, which was the border with great Wu. If the demonic uprising reached that stage, in order to prevent it from spreading to their own country, the Wu country would most likely send troops to the North.
In fact, the diplomatic envoy of the Wu State had clearly stated that the Imperial court of great Wu had been paying serious attention to this matter. If the Wei Kingdom was unable to control the demonic uprising, then the Wu Kingdom would imitate the Yan Kingdom and send troops to the North.
In fact, it was not even an excuse when he said that.
In order to prevent things from becoming more complicated, Xia Cang had even sent a new order to Zheng Yu on the battlefield-do your best to stop the demonic chaos from spreading.
It was also because of this order that Zheng Yu began to lead the cultivators under his command to search for large groups of possessed people in di Zhou and try to eliminate them.
However, it was also because of this that he fell into Chen man’s trap.
Chen man’s main body had personally taken action.
According to the intelligence, his main body had displayed a strange and terrifying destructive power. Based on the description in the information, Lu Qing could tell that Chen man’s main body should be using the true essence of the void attribute. The moves within were very similar to the ones recorded in the ‘Void Spirit manual’ that Lu Qing had obtained.
Relying on his ethereal true essence and the divine-grade cultivation technique,’ethereal spirit chart’, Chen Man was able to defeat Zheng Yu even though he had just broken through to the Dharma stage.
However, Zheng Yu was an old Dharma idol after all. After he lost the battle, he did not continue to resist but chose to run away.
This was a very rational decision. If he ran away, the cultivator Army he led would probably suffer heavy casualties or even be completely annihilated. However, the most important force in this Army was himself. Even if an entire Army was annihilated here, it would only be a minor injury for the Wei Kingdom. However, if he were to die Here, it would shake the foundation of the great Wei.
However, even though Zheng Yu had survived and successfully broken out of the encirclement and returned to Yan city, he knew that the situation had already deteriorated to an extremely bad state.
So far, the Wei imperial court had already sent two cultivator legions to dizhou in an attempt to suppress the demonic uprising. The first time was when the whole team was wiped out in an unknown situation. The second time, due to Marquis Xuanwu Zheng Yu’s defeat, it was the same as the entire Army being wiped out.
After two waves of attacks, Xu Zhou, which had already been allocated a large number of manpower to the northern and eastern battlefields, was almost completely empty.
Under such circumstances, how could they stop the demonic chaos from spreading?
But what could they do? Zheng Yu could feel that his current injuries were not enough to support him to continue fighting Chen Man. Before he recovered from his injuries, he could only guard xudu to the death. As for the other places in Xu Zhou, there was really nothing they could do.
He had already contacted Xia Cang regarding this matter.
However, before the message from the Eastern Front could reply, a message came from the North.
The great river Defense line had been broken. The Yan Army had already crossed the great river.
Upon hearing this news, Zheng Yu really did not know whether he should be happy or not.
