This palm was like the surging waters of the Heavenly River. The Quasi-Saint's Dao Charm circulated within it. The three brothers couldn't react in time, and Li Xingba couldn't avoid it.
A loud explosion resounded, and water splashed everywhere. However, it disappeared in an instant.
A human-shaped hole appeared on the ground. The ferocious beast was shivering by the side. Li Xingba's entire body was embedded in the ground, and his aura was in a mess. He jumped up from the ground, and his face was filled with fear.
Quasi-Saint?
Which expert from the School of Chanism was here?
Wasn't it said that there were only the two third-generation disciples, Yang Jian and Nezha?
An illusory figure appeared on top of the city wall. Her hair was like a jade hairpin, and her long skirt was faintly discernible. Her beauty was unparalleled, yet it was as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice.
"Whoever dares to use force against my husband shall be killed without mercy."
Then, the figure bowed to Yang Jian on the city gate tower and disappeared.
Although Yang Jian had a smile on his face, his heart was filled with all sorts of frustrations …
His true body wasn't here, and he could only rely on this primordial spirit to fight against one of the four brothers. However, if the four of them were to fight together, he, Zhi Jian, and Yao Gonglin wouldn't be a match for them.
However, Ao Xinke wasn't called over by him. His original intention was to fool the four brothers for a few days before finding reinforcements.
Unexpectedly, Ao Xinke also noticed Yang Jian's' predicament '. She was also afraid that the Wang Mo and the others would disturb Yang Jian's breakthrough, so she directly made a move to intimidate them.
Although she didn't injure Li Xingba, she extinguished the arrogance of the Nine Dragons Island's four Saints.
The Wang Mo said in a deep voice, "Junior apprentice-nephew Yang Jian, do you really want to incite a war between the two religions?"
"You're being too serious," said Yang Jian plainly, "It's not that I want to incite a war between the two religions. As the Prime Minister of West Qi, I naturally have to think for West Qi and share King Wu's burden. Today, you came here to say that my Zhou Country is rebelling. However, let me ask you something. When did my Zhou Country rebel? "
The Wang Mo said coldly, "If we're not rebelling, how can we not obey the king's orders?"
The Wang Mo said coldly, "When the Shang Tang Empire was established, it was already an agreement with the vassal states. Our Zhou State has been paying tribute to Zhaoge City for many years. When has it ever stopped? When the Shang army attacked, we were naturally unwilling to surrender and die without knowing why. I'm afraid that His Majesty Di Xin has been instigated by the treacherous officials and wants the world to be in chaos. I'm very worried. "
"Humph! How would I know? "Wang Mo couldn't win against Yang Jian, so he could only mutter," What are you going to do? "
"In the affairs of the country, only the military and etiquette are important," Yang Jian said, "If the military situation is unfavorable, even the gods can't save you."
Pausing for a moment, Yang Jian continued, "My wife does not care about military affairs. She only cares about my safety."
The Demon King said, "Since that's the case, let's wait for the main army to arrive, and the two armies will face each other to decide who's better!"
Yang Jian had already made it very clear that as long as they didn't attack him, the Quasi-Sages in the city wouldn't attack them.
As for the crusade against West Qi, as long as they won in terms of military affairs, Yang Jian would naturally have nothing to say.
Although Wang Mo and the others were aware that they had lost face, Yang Jian alone was already difficult enough to deal with, not to mention that there was a Sage-to-be Dragon Princess protecting Yang Jian. They could only retreat for the time being.
The four brothers' expressions were slightly ugly. Li Xingba was the most depressed. Although the slap didn't injure him, the Dao Hymn of a Quasi-Saint had shaken his Dao. Such an invisible injury was the hardest to heal.
"Big brother, are we going to return just like that?"
"You and I will return with the main army. By then, we'll kill and capture our enemies. What can Yang Jian do?" said the Demon King. "I see that Yang Jian is young and full of vigor. It's the time for him to be conceited. We didn't descend the mountain just to settle our scores with him. Don't forget about Daoist Wen Zhong's request. "
"Hais!" Li Xingba sighed and didn't mention this matter anymore.
The four brothers came with overflowing arrogance, yet they returned with their tails between their legs. It was truly amusing.
However, just half a day after they left West Qi, Yang Jian received Ne Zha's jade talisman in the army camp. His expression instantly turned gloomy.
Ne Zha and Huang Tianxiang were defeated by the Green Dragon Pass, and their army was scattered.
Fortunately, with Nangong Shi's support and the Huang Clan's four generals accompanying them, the army didn't suffer too many losses. Now, they had split into dozens of groups, bypassed the Si River Pass, and escaped into the Zhou Country's territory.
How did they lose?
Yang Jian stood up and slowly paced around in his tent.
He couldn't understand. With Ne Zha and the elites of the Zhou Country, how could they not take down the Green Dragon Pass?
The generals in the tent saw Yang Jian's solemn expression for the first time, and they were all on tenterhooks.
After a while, Yang Jian sent out another jade talisman. It was a military order.
Ne Zha returned to West Qi. The three troops merged and were led by Nangong Shi and Huang Tianxiang. They hid near the border of the Zhou Country and continued to harass the grain route and exhaust the enemy.
The total number of troops was close to 100,000, and they were in the Zhou Country. They naturally did not have to worry about supplies.
Not long after, Ne Zha stepped on the Wind-Fire Wheels and covered his left face as he entered the tent. He lowered his head and stood in front of Yang Jian with a depressed expression.
"Lost?"
Yang Jian asked softly.
"Senior Brother, please punish me!" Ne Zha knelt on one knee, but he dared to take responsibility for what he had done. "It's all because I was careless and underestimated the enemy. It's not that my soldiers didn't fight hard."
"Do you know that if you can take down the Green Dragon Pass, the Shang army will immediately collapse!" Yang Jian's expression was stern as he said, "Since you have the merit of disturbing the enemy previously, your merits offset your demerits. I'll let this matter go for now. Get up and take your hand away. "
Ne Zha sighed and looked ashamed. He moved his left hand away. The stern Yang Jian could not help but laugh. He hurriedly lowered his head and coughed.
There was a red mark on the left side of Ne Zha's face. He could not erase it with his mystical abilities and Dharma powers.
Yang Jian asked, "What hit your face? It can actually hurt your Lotus Treasure Body. "
"How would I know what sinister move that female general used!?!" Ne Zha cursed angrily. "She actually used a hidden weapon to ambush me. How despicable!"
Yang Jian said seriously, "Defeat is defeat. You only have one life. If you die in the hands of the enemy in the future, you can only blame the enemy for being despicable and shameless and not fighting you head-on."
"Senior Brother … I'm indeed useless," Ne Zha replied with his head lowered.
Yang Jian stood up and patted his shoulder. He patted Ne Zha's shoulder to encourage him and said, "Tell me in detail about the female general who injured you."
"It's … quite beautiful," Ne Zha muttered and told him about the situation.
Ne Zha had harassed the Shang army and angered Zhang Guifang. After Zhang Guifang changed to rest during the day and march at night, she could not harass him again.
Yang Jian immediately ordered Ne Zha to lead the army to the Jishui Pass. Together with Huang Tianxiang, they took down the Jishui Pass by surprise.
Then, Yang Jian ordered Ne Zha and Huang Tianhua to take the opportunity to leave the Jishui Pass and head straight to the Azure Dragon Pass to pressure Zhang Guifang's army.
The series of changes really made Zhang Guifang dizzy. It also made the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Shang army panic and unstable …
Ne Zha was naturally extremely proud of his achievements on the battlefield. He led the army to attack the Azure Dragon Pass hastily and did not make any detailed arrangements. He expected that there were not many soldiers in the Azure Dragon Pass. The Zhou Army was strong, so how could they not conquer it?
However, just as Ne Zha flew above the Azure Dragon Pass, he suddenly heard the sound of wind. Five-colored light flickered in front of him, and he felt a sharp pain on his left face. He rolled and fell down the Azure Dragon Pass.
The Zhou Army was shocked. A few shouts suddenly came from the Azure Dragon Pass, saying that Ne Zha was dead. The Zhou Army was in chaos.
At that moment, earth-shaking shouts came from the forest on the left and right of the Azure Dragon Pass. Tens of thousands of arrows were shot at the pass, and the gate was opened. Countless Shang soldiers were about to rush out. The Zhou Army was immediately terrified, and the troops quickly scattered …
Ne Zha sighed and said, "Ah, fortunately, everyone ran fast. The Shang army couldn't catch up. That's why there weren't many casualties."
Yang Jian was speechless.
Just as he was hesitating about whether he should take the initiative to attack and take the opportunity to defeat Zhang Guifang's army, Ne Zha sent news of the defeat.
They were actually defeated like that.
"You've been tricked."
"Tricked?"
"More than tricked, it's simply …" Yang Jian did not know what to say. He looked at Ne Zha's puzzled face and could not get angry.
He's still a child …
He asked Ne Zha and the generals to sit down and explain in detail.
"Zhang Guifang's army was defeated previously. This time, she will do anything to succeed. She will mobilize all the troops in the Azure Dragon Pass. There are only twenty to thirty thousand old and weak soldiers left in the pass. How can she have such an army?"
Yang Jian suddenly smiled and said, "I thought the Shang army was incompetent. I didn't expect there to be such an expert. She's deceiving us."
"Deceiving us …" Ne Zha was stunned. He suddenly stood up and said, "I'll gather more troops now. We must take down the Azure Dragon Pass!"
"It's too late. Zhang Guifang has already sent two hundred thousand troops back to defend. The Azure Dragon Pass must have reinforcements too. It'll be difficult to fight again."
"Ah!" Ne Zha stomped his feet and looked displeased. The scar on the left side of his face was rather glaring.
Deng Chanyu?
Yang Jian thought to himself, 'How can this Deng Chanyu be so capable?'
"Naojian, go to the Azure Dragon Pass and gather some information. Ask them who arranged this plan."
"Yes, Second Master." Zhi Jian obeyed and left. He returned in less than an hour.
Zhi Jian said, "It's a female general named Deng Chanyu. I took a look at her from afar. She's indeed very beautiful."
Yang Jian immediately wanted to curse. 'Why does everyone look at a person's appearance? Is this a common problem of men?'
'Speaking of which, my junior brother has a lotus treasure body. Did Martial Uncle Taiyi pinch him when he was refining his body?'
'He should know how to pinch it. He shouldn't be harming me, right …'
Huang Feihu smiled and said, "How is she beautiful?"
Zhi Jian thought for a moment. He raised his hand and pointed, producing a cloud mirror.
In the cloud mirror, a female general stood on the Azure Dragon Pass's gate tower and looked into the distance. Her hair, which was tied up simply, fluttered in the wind. Her battle armor wrapped around her delicate body, which made one's imagination run wild. Although she wore a half-face armor that covered her forehead and nose bridge, one could still see the beauty of her light yellow face.
"Second Master, I can see through her face armor in person, but not through the cloud mirror."
"Mmm." Yang Jian nodded. He took a look from afar and felt that this woman had a good figure. She had a different kind of beauty from other beauties. She was delicate and powerful.
Ne Zha muttered, "Hmph, when I get my revenge, I'll capture her and make her my senior brother's concubine!"
Yang Jian glared at Ne Zha. Do you really think that your sister-in-law can't hear you? She's a quasi-saint! A quasi-saint!
Huang Feihu said in a low voice, "If this woman goes to support Zhang Guifang, she'll be a threat to our army."
"What's there to be afraid of? We'll just fight whoever comes!" Ne Zha said proudly. Then, he remembered that he had just been ambushed by Deng Chanyu and laughed awkwardly. He pointed at Yang Jian and said, "With my senior brother here, as long as the older generation doesn't come, there's nothing to fear."
A few drops of cold sweat appeared on Yang Jian's forehead.
