In the early morning, Liu Xia opened his eyes to the sound of military bugles.
With the third level of Demon-Defying Heart Sutra, it is indeed significantly improved compared to before.
After last night, I finally touched the threshold of promotion again, and this time we ushered in the ninth level of spiritual cultivation.
After entering the ninth level of spiritual cultivation, Liu Xia's martial arts and spiritual cultivation reached the peak of the master level at the same time. The next step is to retreat to become a master.
It's a pity that I am currently busy with official duties, otherwise I would be able to enter the ninth level of spiritual cultivation after three to five days of retreat.[
Thinking of this, Liu Xia couldn't help but frown, sighing secretly that he was unable to do anything at the same time.
After coming out of the camp, Liu Xia went straight to the Chinese army camp. Today was the first day of the suppression of bandits. There were more than thirty cottages that needed to be dealt with. Most of these cottages were the Juyi Gang's defense line outside Yuntianling.
It would be most appropriate to operate on them.
Compared to Heifeng Village and Tianlong Village, Juyi Gang is much weaker, which has a lot to do with their structure.
The Juyi Gang is a copycat association that elects a spokesperson every year. This spokesperson is their temporary leader.
Despite this, most of the association's copycats still have the final say of their owners, so they are at war with each other internally, with constant civil strife, and their attack and defense capabilities are naturally the worst.
Entering the Chinese army camp, many generals have gathered here.
When Liu Xia entered the tent, everyone saluted one after another. Liu Xia glanced at Duan Lingxiao with his peripheral vision and found that this boy was much more honest today. At the very least, he put away the disdainful look on his face.
"Everyone, get up. Are the notices we posted effective?"
Liu Xia asked.
"Back to my lord, only more than thirty bandits have surrendered these days. Now they have been escorted to the camp."
Liu Hongtao said with clasped fists.
"Only more than thirty? It seems that these bandits are really not afraid of death. Send the order!"
Immediately, Liu Xia stood up.
All the generals immediately knelt on the ground.
"Two hours later, the army attacked in three groups, targeting the cottages we discussed yesterday. Remember, if there is resistance, we will kill without mercy."
Liu Xia said coldly.
"promise!"
At that moment, all the generals clasped their fists and shouted.[
Immediately, everyone began to evacuate the big tent and prepared to go their own way.
Liu Xia looked at their backs and couldn't help but feel a little unbearable.
After all, there are still many women, children and children in those cottages, and the methods are a bit cruel. However, if we cannot attack with thunder to scare the bandits, I am afraid that this battle will be delayed within a time limit.
As time goes by, not only the imperial court will be unable to bear it, but the whole of Wuzhou may also be unable to bear it.
What made Liu Xia feel even more uneasy was Mr. Song's statement that the sky was about to change.
Although Liu Xia didn't know what he was alluding to, he knew in his heart that something big would happen recently, so he could only seize the time.
"One general's success will make a thousand bones wither!"
Liu Xia sighed secretly and walked out of the gate.
Two hours later, the army began to set off from the military camp.
Liu Xia rode the wind-chasing beast and put on a military uniform, looking very mighty.
Behind him were Dabao, Dai Binglong, Zhang Zong, Liu Liansheng, Tong Dawei and other confidants.
As a warlord, naturally you can't charge into battle.
This time the army was divided into three groups, each with about 15,000 people, and each group surrounded and suppressed the Juyi Gang's stronghold from three directions.
Liu Xia and Liu Hongtao went into the mountains together.
Standing on a high hill, looking at the meandering army with flags fluttering and neatly arrayed, their momentum is many times more fierce than that of the bandits.
Those bandits are like a piece of loose sand. Except for a few brave and fierce ones, they have almost no lethality.
In this battle, there is no suspense about the outcome.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the army began to enter the mountain. Liu Xia followed the army at the end and entered the vast jungle together.
The jungle was extremely quiet today, perhaps because they restrained themselves after knowing that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were entering.
The army advanced very smoothly, and in less than half an hour, they had reached the first target of the day.
The cottage being encircled and suppressed this time was Qinglong Village under the Juyi Gang. It was small in scale, with less than 500 people.
When the army was lurking around Qinglong Village, Liu Xia discovered that Qinglong Village was already facing a formidable enemy.[
Liu Xia raised his head and glanced at the situation around him. The army had begun to prepare for the great formation to destroy the sky. Liu Xia whispered: "Liu Dusi, separate your troops. Be careful not to be attacked from both sides."
Liu Hongtao was stunned. This Qinglong Village was very far away from the other strongholds. It could be said that the encirclement and suppression of this place was easy. Even if there were reinforcements, with their number, they would only die if they came, so they did not watch the rear defense.
Hearing what Liu Xia said, he became more thoughtful and hurriedly ordered five thousand people to cut off the rear and then set up an encirclement.
In less than a quarter of an hour, everything was ready. At this time, Liu Hongtao shouted: "The gangsters in Qinglong Village, listen up. If you put down your weapons and surrender now, there is still a way to survive. Otherwise, if there is a firefight, we will kill without mercy!"
However, there was no movement in the village, which made Liu Xia even more aware that something was wrong.
"Fire!"
Immediately, Liu Hongtao gave an order, and the sky-destroying formation was immediately activated. The sky was filled with dark clouds, and then there was lightning and thunder.
Immediately afterwards, cracks opened in the sky, and dozens of huge fireballs soared into the sky and fell straight towards the ground.
"Boom boom boom!"
After a series of dense explosions, mushroom clouds slowly rose into the sky on the opposite side. The cold shock wave instantly blew the surrounding trees to and fro, and many of them were directly carbonized. The village suddenly became a sea of fire.
"Line up and attack!"
At this time, Liu Hongtao immediately issued the next order. At that moment, about 3,000 infantrymen took advantage of the chaos and quickly moved towards Qinglong Village.
Just as we were about to reach the entrance of Qinglong Village, we suddenly heard a burst of explosions from behind.
Liu Xia and Liu Hongtao looked back and saw that there was indeed a problem with their defense.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Liu Hongtao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly.
If Liu Xia hadn't warned him, he might have been outflanked by the enemy from both inside and outside, and he would have suffered heavy losses if he didn't do it right.
"You take command here, I'll go to the back line and take a look."
After saying this, Liu Xia stood up and rushed towards the back line of defense.
There were about 4,000 people in the rear defense line. When they arrived here, they saw bandits all over the mountains and plains emerging from nowhere.
At this moment, he was already entangled with the officers and soldiers on the rear line.
The battle was very fierce. Liu Xia discovered that among those people, there were about 700 people wearing armor. They were obviously reinforcements from Heifeng Village. It seemed that they were trying to resist stubbornly, trying to outflank and defeat the army.
rhythm.
"Call the Tiger Guards, send the order, and kill them without mercy."
Having said this, Liu Xia took a deep breath, turned into a shadow in an instant, and rushed out towards the battlefield.
Fighting in the forest is no better than on the plains. There is no advantage of cavalry, and all that remains is hand-to-hand combat.
In hand-to-hand combat, all that matters is momentum!
Suddenly, the thunderous sound of war drums rang, and Liu Xia's flag was immediately raised.
The soldiers who were engaged in a fierce battle saw that Liu Xia had come to supervise the battle in person. Is there any reason not to sacrifice one's life?
The bandits on the other side obviously also discovered Liu Xia and shouted: "Kill Prince Weiyuan alive!"
At that moment, both groups were as if they had been beaten to death. In an instant, the defense line was covered in blood and flesh, and corpses were everywhere.
Liu Xia took the lead in the charge, holding Tianquan in his hand, like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, killing everyone.
The bandits who tried to capture Liu Xia alive suddenly realized at this moment that they had made a mistake, that is, Liu Xia's cultivation was far more terrifying than they imagined.
At this moment, Liu Xia killed everyone he saw. Among the enemy's crowds, he was no match for anyone. There were countless corpses that fell under the sword.
When he turned around, he saw the bandits in Heifeng Village preparing to destroy the sky. At that moment, Liu Xia shouted angrily and rushed towards their crowd.
"Tianquan Sword Intent!"
"Dragon Subduing Seal!"
Immediately, a bloody sword energy swallowed dozens of people like a wave, and then hundreds of handprints fell on the enemy's position one after another.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
After a series of dense explosions, the local sky-destroying formation had not yet been activated, leaving corpses on the ground.
When everyone saw Liu Xia's prowess, their morale doubled, and they immediately began a full-scale counterattack.
At this moment, the group of bandits in Heifeng Village saw Liu Xia rushing into their position alone, and they immediately shouted: "Kill him."
Suddenly, like a tide of people, they rushed towards Liu Xia like crazy.
Liu Xia sneered, and immediately, Tianquan and Cangsheng ignited a raging flame and crashed towards them in an instant.
"boom!"
With a loud noise, hundreds of people were immediately thrown away, and a five-meter-diameter deep pit suddenly appeared on the ground.
Those bandits in Heifeng Village are no match for Liu Xia.
Now that Liu Xia has the Triple Demonic Heart Sutra, the spiritual power in his body runs at an even more abnormal speed, and he has the power of the spiritual source as a foundation. In his eyes, these bandits are like chopping melons and vegetables.
In an instant, the corpses that fell under Liu Xia's sword piled up like a mountain. Liu Xia ran rampant in the enemy's formation, killing seven in and seven out. The armor on his body was stained red with blood.
The bandits on the other side changed from trying to capture Liu Xia alive to running away at the sight of him.
The only grandmaster who met Liu Xia turned into a corpse, killing them to the point of fear.
However, this is not the end of the tragedy, on the contrary, it is just the beginning.
Just when they thought the nightmare had just begun, the real nightmare came.
From nowhere, a group of guards wearing blood-colored armor suddenly appeared.
They are all well-armed, the weapons in each hand are all at the level of immortal weapons, and they are well-trained.
As soon as the Tiger Guard appeared, the situation of the battle was completely reversed.
Those tiger guards were like scythes harvesting life. They were in groups of ten, attacking and defending in an orderly manner, and flanking them from both directions.
In the place they talked about, bodies fell into pieces on the ground, just like this red wave swept over them.
In less than a stick of incense, the enemy collapsed and began to retreat.
They understood the principle that poor enemies should not be pursued, so the army did not pursue them and hurriedly re-arranged their formations to protect the rear line of defense.
After the tiger guards and other bandits evacuated, they quickly disappeared from the battlefield again like ghosts.
Liu Xia turned around at this moment and saw that the entire Qinglong Village was already in flames.
Thousands of bandit-suppressing armies rushed into their mountain stronghold, killing everyone they saw. For a moment, screams, wailing, and fighting echoed through the sky.
The fire was raging into the sky, and the billowing beacon smoke was rising straight into the sky.
Liu Xia knew that this cottage was completely destroyed.
Immediately, Liu Hongtao gave the order and set off towards the next mountain stronghold.
