88. Dongtang can't sit still(1/2)
Yanzhou Prefecture, in the north of Longbei County.
A large group of Tang troops marched rapidly over the mountains and ridges.
They received the order not long ago and quickly rushed to the southeast of Yanzhou Prefecture and the Mincheng area.
According to the news, there is a Chang'an rebel party there, coercing the refugees to move.
Among them are some family members of soldiers who were originally from the Tang Army.
This army of the Eastern Tang Dynasty traveled day and night to Mincheng to intercept the refugees and wipe out the Chang'an bandits.
The army was moving rapidly and suddenly slowed down.
On a hill in the distance, a middle-aged man stood.
"go back."
Although they were far apart, the man's voice still reached the ears of many Tang soldiers: "Chen doesn't want to go on a killing spree."
The person who came was surprisingly none other than Chen Jiezhi.
The general of the Tang army who led the army gave an order, and all the soldiers raised their bows and set arrows.
When Chen Jiezhi saw this from afar, he frowned.
Suddenly, there was an invisible momentum on his body, which expanded outwards. It was so frightening that it almost made people feel heartbroken.
All the Tang soldiers in front were shaken, their hands and feet were weak, and they could hardly hold the weapons in their hands.
Chen Jiezhi's figure moved, and the distance between him and the army quickly shortened.
The closer the distance, the more frightened the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty became.
The rear army was in commotion, and the front army was about to collapse.
The leading general was startled, knowing that the person coming was at least a master of the seventh level of martial arts, the realm of human slaughter.
The murderous aura soared into the sky and almost condensed into substance.
Even well-trained soldiers find it difficult to stabilize their minds.
If you are exposed to such murderous attacks for a long time, you will definitely have a mental breakdown. In severe cases, you may even be frightened to death.
It is common knowledge in the world that practitioners from all walks of life will generally be able to defeat thousands of enemies by the time they reach the seventh level.
Even if ordinary people are well-trained and have weapons in hand, simply stacking the number of people will not help.
Like martial arts practitioners, those in the seventh level of human slaughter can scare the army into retreat by relying on their own murderous intent.
Different warriors have different ranges of murderous aura.
Before the murderous intention affects the military formation, firing volleys of long-range bows and crossbows may be the only means to target them.
But at such a distance, warriors in the seventh realm can escape even when faced with such an attack, and can advance and retreat freely.
Chen Jiezhi was the first to approach quickly.
His murderous intent was so strong that it frightened all the Tang troops into chaos.
The leading general shouted an order.
In the middle army, a group of Tang troops who were obviously much stronger rushed out.
They are similar to the Xuanwu Central Army of the original Xuanwu General Du Kun, they are all composed of warriors with advanced cultivation.
Facing Chen Jiezhi's murderous intent, he couldn't help but feel fear, but he was stronger than ordinary soldiers and could still form a formation to fight the enemy.
Their fighting spirit and morale are all supported by the leading general.
The Tang Army general in the sixth realm went all out, swung his halberd and slashed at the charging Chen Jiezhi.
The two sides clashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye from a distance of a hundred meters.
Chen Jiezhi looked calm and did not use the Wind and Cloud Palm, which was inherited from the Chen family. Instead, he changed his palm to a fist.
He struck with a punch, and the air exploded, making a long and piercing sound.
It's as if a dragon is giving its head and screams when it's about to die.
The long chirping sound was heard endlessly, and just as the chiming sound was heard, the long halberd of the Tang army general on the opposite side had been interrupted by Chen Jie's punch.
The iron-blooded fighting that condensed the morale of the general himself and many soldiers was like rotten wood under Chen Jie's fist.
Chen Jie broke the halberd with one punch, and his murderous punch continued to hit the Tang Army general himself.
The strong armor has no protective effect at this moment.
Chen Jiezhi's punches were as powerful as breaking bamboo, shattering armor, and then piercing the opponent's chest.
The general of the Tang army stared at Chen Jiezhi with his eyes rounded in disbelief.
It's true that the enemy's cultivation level is higher than his, but he has the blessing of military formation, so he is not his first general?
This is not only a difference in cultivation level, but also a huge difference in martial arts between the two sides.
Chen Jiezhi retracted his fist and glanced at the leaderless military formation.
The Tang army, which was already frightened, had its morale completely collapsed and fled in all directions.
Chen Jiezhi did not take action, but many people were injured or even killed because they stepped on each other.
Even the central army, which was composed entirely of warriors, no longer had the courage to face Chen Jiezhi and fled one after another.
The Dragon-Slaying Fist that Chen Jiezhi learned from Chang'an is really like cutting off the dragon's head, causing the dragon-like army to be destroyed.
He looked down at his fists, his expression slightly complicated.
After defecting to Chang'an, the Chen family really had hope.
However, the Great Wind and Cloud Palm, which my family has inherited for many years and is proud of, is really far behind Chang'an martial arts...
Chen Jiezhi shook his head, no longer entangled in related thoughts, his eyes were alert, and he looked in another direction:
"After watching it for a long time, come out."
In the previously empty midair in the distance, a small black dot suddenly appeared.
The black spot slowly expanded and finally turned into a black shadow.
The darkness opened to both sides, revealing a man who looked to be between thirty and forty years old.
Chen Jiezhi saw the other party's appearance clearly and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
He looked at the other person, and he looked familiar.
Looking at the two black wings spread out behind the man again, like a bat, an idea flashed in Chen Jiezhi's mind:
"Are you... Hu Ming?"
The man nodded: "My little brother Hu Ming, I have admired Brother Chen for a long time."
One of the six famous families in the Eastern Tang Dynasty today is the Chaohe Hu family.
The Hu family has always passed down martial arts.
However, the martial arts talents of the children of the family naturally vary from high to low, and not everyone can be trained.
Hu Ming is not very talented.
But he still wanted to continue on the path of spiritual practice, so he studied extensively and dabbled in various spiritual practices.
Unfortunately, Confucianism and Taoism are not suitable for him.
Maybe my talents are really destined to be useful, and I can really find a spiritual path for Hu Ming to follow.
However, this path is not tolerated by the world.
Demonic way.
The Hu family regarded Hu Ming as a great shame and humiliation. Not only did they remove him from the family tree, they also sent a large number of masters to hunt him down.
Fortunately, Hu Ming was alert and had high attainments in magic arts, so he concealed his name and absconded many times. Over the years, he was never cleared out of his family.
Chen Jiezhi had also heard rumors about Hu Ming in his early years, but had never dealt with him in person.
"Brother Hu, what advice do you have?" He looked at Hu Ming, who had bat wings on his back.
Hu Ming cupped his fists and saluted:
"My younger brother is determined to defect to Chang'an, so he came to Longbei County and was about to go to Qinzhou Prefecture.
By chance, I met Brother Chen. Brother Chen has already established himself in Chang'an, so I wanted to ask Brother Chen for help in introducing him.
I will definitely repay this kindness in the future."
"You... are going to Chang'an?" Chen Jiezhi was not surprised.
Hu Ming nodded: "Although the outside world has blocked the news and has limited knowledge, I have heard something. Brother Chen and his clan members have defected to Chang'an, and there are magic masters working in Chang'an."
Chen Jiezhi said: "Chang'an is tolerant and accepts all rivers. If Brother Hu wants to defect, it is naturally good.
However, Chen did not dare to make the final decision regarding the introduction. He was busy with errands and could not spare time to accompany Brother Hu back to Chang'an.
If Brother Hu is really interested, he can go to Chang'an by himself, or come with me to see Mr. Blood Shadow.
