Chapter 314: Sacrifice of the God! The Situation Is Reversed!
[Sacrificial target: Breaking through the realm of God. ]
[Sacrificial price: One thousand Yuan crystals, one Taiyin Xuanyuan spiritual energy, one two thousand year old God-replenishing Jade Ganoderma, one two thousand year old Jade Infant Divine Flower, one Taixuan Yuanyang spiritual energy, ten years of life reduction. One hundred and twenty years of remaining life. Do you want to sacrifice? ]
Opening his eyes, Jiang Che's face darkened as he recalled the price condensed on the heavenly tablet.
As expected, as he expected, the sacrifices required to break through the realm of God were indeed extremely demanding.
Ten years of life and one thousand Yuan crystals were nothing, but the other four sacrifices were not easy to get. Taiyin Xuanyuan spiritual energy was okay. Now he had a clue.
As long as Qi Ningbing formed a pill, the spiritual energy in his body could be used. As for Qi Wanjun, it should not be a big deal. He could get it with a little more coaxing.
The key was that the last three sacrifices made him difficult.
The God-Replenishing Jade Ganoderma and the Jade Infant Divine Flower are both top-grade precious medicines that can nourish the spirit. They are very rare in the martial arts world. Even a great master of the Divine Appearance cannot easily obtain such things.
Moreover, there is a limit of 2,000 years of medicinal age.
It can be called harsh.
Originally, Jiang Che thought that it might not be so difficult to break through the Divine Appearance this time. After all, he not only had the Taiyin Xuanyuan Spiritual Qi, but also the Jiuqu Xuanshen. As a result, who knew that
the spiritual objects he got when he first entered the Xuandan realm have not been used until now.
He was quite speechless.
But this emotion did not linger for too long. He estimated that it might be because the Jiuqu Xuanshen was more valuable and could not be used now. He estimated that he could only use it after he broke through the Divine Appearance.
As for the last Taixuan Yuanyang Spiritual Qi.
This gave him a familiar feeling.
Where did he hear it from?
It seemed to be from his brother-in-law Qi Shaoyan.
He recalled the scene at that time. It was when he was attending the auction in Tiansha City, he met Qi Shaoyan by chance, and then the two found a secluded place to chat about the past.
He mentioned the harsh words that Lei Ting had said at the time.
He said he would wait for him in the East China Sea Martial Realm Battle.
Then, Qi Shaoyan told him many secrets of the East China Sea Martial Realm Battle. It seemed that as long as he could make it into the top ten, he could take away a spiritual energy from the martial realm.
The higher the ranking, the more precious the spiritual energy that can be taken away.
And Taixuan Yuanyang spiritual energy is among them.
In addition, there seemed to be some other benefits, but Qi Shaoyan did not elaborate at the time. Jiang Che was not very interested in it at the time, and said that he would see the situation at that time.
Then Qi Shaoyan said that with his current reputation, the court would most likely let him go to the East China Sea to fight and win reputation for the court.
"East China Sea Martial Realm."
Jiang Che rubbed his forehead and felt that it was a bit troublesome, but the sacrifice requirements made him seem like he had to go, and not only had to go, but also had to win a good ranking in order to successfully obtain Taixuan Yuanyang Spiritual Qi.
Wait
Jiang Che was suddenly stunned.
Taixuan Yunyang Spiritual Qi, Taiyin Xuanyuan Spiritual Qi.
One yin and one yang. Could it be the key to his condensation of the Nascent Soul?
Jiang Che thought for a while and felt that he had found some rules.
"Practicing is really as difficult as ascending to heaven"
Standing on the top of Licheng, Jiang Che looked into the distance and sighed softly.
With the growth of his cultivation, the sacrifices he needed became more and more demanding with each step he took. At this moment, he especially missed the time when he only needed meat to break through at the beginning.
The Wanjie Demon Sword trembled slightly, and a voice came out faintly:
"You are only over 20 years old, but you have reached the Golden Core Realm. Even those immortal sects cannot surpass you in cultivation speed. How can you say that cultivation is as difficult as ascending to heaven?"
Red Blood Demon Venerable was very unhappy with Jiang Che's words.
When he first practiced, that was the real hardship. He was born as a casual cultivator, devoted himself to the devil's way, sacrificed thousands of lives with blood, suffered the pain of bone erosion and heart rot, and his meridians were broken.
He reached Jiang Che's current realm only when he was more than 120 years old.
Compared to the general public in the martial arts world, he can even be considered very lucky, but even so, he can't compare with Jiang Che. He didn't shout that cultivation is difficult.
How can Jiang Che be so embarrassed?
Jiang Che smiled when he heard it, and didn't refute Red Blood Demon Venerable.
Indeed, compared to normal warriors, he can reach the current realm at this age, which is already terrifying, but that is just the appearance. No one can see his dedication and hard work behind him.
The life span of a Xuandan master is generally around 300 years.
And what about him?
Only half of his life is left now.
Is he improving fast?
He paid with his life!
There is a price to pay for fast cultivation.
"General, the city has been cleared. According to your military order, all the resistance will be killed. In addition, I have deliberately let a group of people go so that they can report the news."
Qi Huan reported everything that happened in the city in detail.
"What are the casualties?"
"872 elite cavalrymen, 52 of whom died in this battle, 100 were injured, and there are only 720 people who can fight now."
"Select 400 cavalrymen with the strongest cultivation, and you will lead the rest. Take away all the property and wounded in Licheng, and take them to the place arranged before to recuperate and wait.
I will take the rest away."
"Yes, what about those who can't be taken away?"
"Burn those who can't be taken away with fire. In addition, find a way to destroy this city, especially the formation engraved on the city wall, and destroy it as much as possible."
"Yes, I obey your command."
At noon that day, Jiang Che divided his troops.
One group returned to the north, led by Qi Huan, to place the property and the wounded, while the other group continued to be led by Jiang Che, and continued to attack other towns in Nanyue.
Time is lagging, and he wanted to give Zhang Ping, Zhou Yi and others a buffer time.
Tiannan Pass.
At this moment, when Jiang Che had already captured Licheng and continued to destroy the defense line of Nanyue, the battle at Tiannan Pass was also continuing to enter a white-hot stage, and the ground outside the city was soaked with blood.
In just a few hours of attacking the city, more than 3,000 people were killed and injured on the Nanyue side, but the defense line gradually advanced to the city gate. At the same time, Zhang Ping also took out the treasure to break the formation.
Although the formation of Tiannan Pass was not broken, a lot of power was suppressed.
Under the situation of long-term siege, Zhang Ping could no longer hold back, and immediately took action himself, and took the initiative to expose a great master of divine appearance, and killed towards Tiannan Pass.
The other two great masters were waiting for an opportunity to move.
If there is a chance, they will rush directly into the city.
At the critical moment, Qi Tianhe easily stopped one person, and the deputy governor Gao Qinian took advantage of the military formation in the city and briefly had the power to hurt the Grandmaster of Divine Appearance.
With the protection of the formation, he successfully stopped another person.
However, at this moment, tens of thousands of Nanyue soldiers continued to attack fiercely, and some powerful ones even killed on the city wall. The entire Tiannan Pass was instantly shrouded in flames of war.
The other two hidden Grandmasters of Divine Appearance also went to fight, intending to break the formation of Tiannan Pass. At the critical moment, Qi Tianhe fought one against two and stopped one of the Grandmasters.
Several Xuandan Grandmasters in the city, with the help of the military formation and the power of the city defense formation, also desperately stopped the last Grandmaster, and the battle was extremely tragic.
Many Nanyue soldiers broke through the gate of Tiannan Pass with the help of the military formation, but because most of the strong men were stopped, they were still killed by Qi Wanjun and his troops.
In this crisis, many martial artists in Tiannan Pass also came to help, leaving behind their hostility with the government and began to resist the foreigners from Nanyue.
The most outstanding person among them was a master named Cao. He was not too old, but his strength was quite extraordinary. He was also quite accomplished in the art of formation. He stopped several masters of Nanyue alone.
The fight lasted for most of the day. It was not until the sky gradually darkened that the Nanyue side beat the drums and retreated, leaving a field of corpses.
Qi Wanjun, whose armor was stained with blood, had a messy long hair. She leaned on the ground with a spear in her hand. She looked solemn, but her face could not hide the fatigue. She looked at the Nanyue army that was retreating like a tide.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect these barbarians to be so fearless. If it weren't for the soldiers' sacrifice, Tiannan Pass might have been broken." Gao Qinian held the wall with one hand, and his eyes were unusually solemn.
He originally thought that relying on the power of the Tiannan Pass formation, it would be no problem to block the enemy for a few days. It turned out that he overestimated his own side and underestimated the South Vietnamese side.
The enemy's soldiers were also fearless, and there were several grandmasters to help. In addition, there were treasures that could tear open the formation. Tiannan Pass suffered heavy losses this time.
"Second Elder, are you okay?"
Qi Wanjun looked very concerned.
This time, it was not only them who fought desperately, but the most important thing was that Qi Tianhe stopped the two grandmasters. Otherwise, even if he risked his life again, he could not stop the South Vietnamese side.
Qi Tianhe shook his head:
"It's okay for now, just a few minor injuries. But in this situation, it may not be possible to stop these South Vietnamese barbarians tomorrow. There are indeed some tricks."
While speaking, Qi Tianhe also coughed lightly a few times.
Obviously, it was not as easy as imagined.
If he had not been in the formation, it would be impossible for him to fight two people alone, especially the last person who made a move. His strength made him feel extremely oppressive.
Fortunately, he could see that the other party seemed unwilling to risk his life, otherwise, the formation might be broken today.
"I don't know what the situation of the Grand Commander is now. If he were here, it would be no problem to stop these people." Gao Qinian shook his head and sighed slightly.
He had heard that there was a great master of divine appearance beside Jiang Che. If he were here today, he might be able to counterattack.
"Hold on. The news from Jiang Che is expected to be transmitted back soon." Qi Wanjun replied, and she still trusted Jiang Che very much.
"Alas, this is the only way."
"General Gao, don't forget to repair the formation in the city, otherwise it will be useless tomorrow."
"Miss Qi, don't worry, I have arranged people."
Outside the city, the South Vietnamese military camp.
At this moment, Zhang Ping was also counting the casualties of the formation, and his expression was extremely ugly. In this battle, at the last moment, he was out in full force, and even several hidden great masters took action.
I thought I could successfully break through Tiannan Pass.
But the result disappointed him greatly.
Such a powerful force not only failed to break through Tiannan Pass, but also lost thousands of soldiers. You know, he brought a total of 20,000 soldiers this time, and such a high casualty rate.
Many soldiers have already been afraid of fighting.
At the last moment, the army formation showed signs of collapse.
It was for this reason that he had to beat the drum to retreat and prepare to use gold and silver and military merits to continue to persuade the soldiers to fight.
"The foundation of the Central Plains warriors is beyond our imagination." Zhou Yi's expression was also very solemn. He also went to the battle this time, but not only did he not get any results.
He was almost injured.
The emphasis on Tiannanguan has also reached its peak.
"Damn it, if those great masters were willing to fight, why would they do this?" Zhang Ping punched hard, shattering the desk in front of him, with anger on his face.
"Those people were all lured by the king. How could they risk their lives casually? General Zhang is too harsh."
"If they are willing to try their best today, Tiannan Pass may not be incapable of being broken."
"General Zhang, I'm afraid we're in a bit of a dilemma right now."
Zhou Yi was silent for a moment and suddenly said.
"What do you mean by this?"
"General, don't forget that Jiang Che and the Scarlet-Blooded Demon Lord have not taken action yet. If they suddenly take action today, this siege will definitely fail. With our strength.
I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about Jiang Che. "
"You want to withdraw?"
Zhang Ping glared at Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi shook his head:
"It's not about retreating troops, but increasing troops. Today, we tried our best and failed to force Jiang Che to show up. It can be seen that either there is something wrong with him at the moment, or he has other plans.
If we want to successfully suppress this person, we must ask the king to call in two more great masters. Only in this way can we be foolproof. "
"Your Majesty, will you agree?"
Zhang Ping showed hesitation.
"The king will definitely know it. Even the general who was transferred to guard the capital will definitely come." Zhou Yi was very confident in this, because he was the only one who knew the secret of the dragon vein.
"Okay, let's do this first. In addition, we have a rest tonight and continue to attack the city tomorrow. I don't believe it. Tiannan Pass is made of iron. It is already crumbling today.
Tomorrow, we will conquer this city! "
Zhang Ping snorted viciously, and then a cold light flashed in his eyes:
"After the city is broken, I, the general, will definitely massacre it to show our fierce power in South Vietnam!"
Zhou Yi frowned when he heard this, but seeing that Zhang Ping was so angry at today's battle, he didn't say anything to refute, thinking to wait until tomorrow.
Have a peaceful night.
Neither the South Vietnamese nor the Tiannan Pass chose to attack at night.
The next morning, the two sides beat drums one after the other to support the battle, and the war would start again.
When Zhang Ping was about to issue an order to attack the city, he suddenly saw Zhou Yi leading a few ragged South Vietnamese generals to come to him in a hurry. His first words were:
"General Zhang, something serious has happened."
"What happened? I also remember that these generals seem to be the guards of Licheng. Why are they here? Could it be that something happened to Licheng?" Zhang Ping felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Zhou Yi nodded worriedly and signaled one of them to report the situation.
"General, at dawn yesterday, a group of cavalry from the Central Plains attacked Licheng. We were caught off guard and were successfully attacked by the Central Plains people. Although we resisted desperately.
But the opponent was too strong, and the city of Li was also too empty. In the end, we had no choice but to break out of the encirclement and come to report to the general. "
The leader knelt on the ground and reported what happened yesterday with a depressed expression.
Zhang Ping looked shocked when he heard this. He felt a suffocation in his heart rushing straight to his forehead. He pointed at the people on the ground and asked word by word:
"Who is the person who attacked Li City?"
"General Wuwei of Tiannan Pass, Jiang Che!"
