Chisongzi went out in person to meet Tianyi Zhenjun, and the two exchanged greetings.
It turns out that True Lord Tianyi had already received Hu Le's edict, but due to some matters related to his cultivation, he was delayed for a few days and only arrived today to lend his assistance.
Having gained another powerful ally, Chisongzi was overjoyed. The two exchanged a few polite words and walked side by side into the central command tent.
To welcome Gu Zhu and Tianyi Zhenjun, Chisongzi prepared a lavish banquet that night, which lasted until the latter half of the night before everyone returned to their tents to rest.
The next day, it was broad daylight.
The opposing allied forces then sent a declaration of war, and with reinforcements in hand, Chisongzi naturally wouldn't avoid battle.
Three cannon shots rang out, the camp gates swung open, and Chisongzi rode out of the camp on a seven-colored sika deer.
Gu Zhu and Tianyi Zhenjun each rode a magnificent celestial horse, flanked by elders, priests, and generals.
On the opposite side, Gonggong and his army had already formed a battle formation and had been waiting for a long time.
Before the battle, the two sides exchanged a few more words, but in the end, they still had to fight.
The first to emerge from the allied forces was the Ghost Chariot Demon Saint, who rode out on a strange beast and shouted, "Which fellow Daoist is willing to come out and fight me?"
Chisongzi looked around, his gaze sweeping over Guzhu and Tianyi Zhenjun.
Gu Zhu stepped forward first and smiled at Chi Songzi, saying, "Fellow Daoist, let me meet this Demon Saint."
"This ghost carriage has some tricks up its sleeve, fellow Daoist, you must be careful."
Gu Zhu nodded and rode his celestial horse to the opposite side of the ghost carriage.
"Greetings, fellow Ghost Car enthusiast." Gu Zhu greeted Ghost Car politely.
As a veteran demon saint, Guiche was quite knowledgeable and recognized some of the elders among the human race.
At this moment, Guiche examined Guzhu closely and finally confirmed his identity. He laughed and said, "Who do we have here? It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Guzhu. I haven't heard from you for so many years. I thought you had perished. I never expected to meet you again on the battlefield today."
Gu Zhu also laughed and said, "Since you haven't fallen, how could I leave first? I have long heard of the reputation of the Ghost Chariot Demon Saint, but I have never truly experienced your skills, which I regret. Today, we meet on the battlefield, and I can finally fulfill my long-cherished wish."
With that, he flicked his wrist, revealing a bamboo sword, and urged his mount to charge towards the ghost carriage.
The sword in his hand may be made of bamboo, but that bamboo is no ordinary material; it is a fragment of a naturally occurring bitter bamboo.
As for the bitter bamboo, it is a spiritual root that was nurtured in the primordial chaos before the creation of the world, and its quality is in no way inferior to top-tier spiritual roots such as the Fusang tree.
Unfortunately, the bitter bamboo was unlucky and was destroyed during Pangu's creation of the world, but many fragments still fell into the primordial world.
Gu Zhu once had the good fortune to obtain a fragment, which he then forged into this Dao-proving sword.
Facing Gu Zhu's attack, Gui Che brandished a halberd.
In just a moment, the two exchanged more than ten blows, and for a time it was difficult to determine who was superior...
At this moment, Jiuying also urged his mount out of the battle formation and shouted, "Chisongzi! Come out and face your death!"
“Fellow Daoist Chisongzi, you may leave this fiend to me.”
Upon hearing this, Tianyi Zhenjun hurriedly asked Chisongzi for permission to go forward and meet Jiuying.
Chisongzi nodded and smiled, "Then I'll leave this fiend to you, fellow Daoist. Be careful."
"I understand!"
Tianyi Zhenjun agreed, urged his mount forward, and brandished a whisk in his hand as he charged towards Jiuying.
With a flick of his wrist, Jiuying revealed a precious sword, which he held horizontally in front of him to block the whisk.
The two immediately began fighting back and forth.
Gonggong then took out a cold jade hook and began to challenge Chisongzi.
Chisongzi knew how powerful Gonggong was, and he also knew that in the entire army camp, apart from himself, there was probably no one else who could match him. So he had no choice but to step forward and fight.
He brandished his sword with one hand and held the Kan Di Gen Kun Banner with the other, releasing countless rays of light to protect himself.
Gonggong brandished the jade hook while continuously unleashing palm thunderbolts, striking the Kan-Gen-Kun flag in an attempt to shake it off.
As everyone fought, they deliberately suppressed the aftershocks of their battle; otherwise, if the aftershocks were to spread, the soldiers present would likely be pulverized.
The six fought one-on-one in one place, and soon they went from fighting on the ground to fighting in the sky. Only after they arrived at a high altitude did they really let loose.
Various powerful supernatural abilities and spells collided, turning the entire sky into a mess...
On the ground, Xing Tian stepped forward and shouted to the opposite side, "Which of you dares to fight me?!"
"Xingtian! Stop being so arrogant! I'll fight you!"
Chang Xian immediately picked up his spear, spurred his celestial horse forward, and engaged Xing Tian in battle.
After only a dozen or so rounds, Chang Xian was visibly at a disadvantage.
Long Yin couldn't stand it any longer and shouted, "Fellow Daoist! I'm here to help you!"
Before he finished speaking, he spurred his horse forward and joined the battle.
"Two defeated opponents! Even if you join forces, what can you do?"
Xing Tian, caught up in the excitement of the fight, became even more ferocious. Even when fighting two against one, he quickly gained the upper hand. He wielded his axe, its cold light gleaming and the wind howling, forcing the two to retreat step by step.
Seeing Xing Tian's ferocity, several more generals from the Yanhuang tribe rushed out and joined the siege of Xing Tian.
Xing Tian continued to accept all challengers, using only his shield to protect himself, and wielding his axe and shield to fight on all sides.
"Don't you dare bully the weak with your numbers!"
Some members of the allied forces couldn't stand it any longer, so several demon generals rushed out to take over the attacks from several people for Xing Tian.
In an instant, the crowd was thrown into chaos, with sand and stones flying all around and demonic mist raging.
A moment later, a scream rang out from the arena, and then a figure leaped out from the demonic mist.
When everyone looked over, they realized that this person was Chang Xian.
At this moment, a long, deep wound, revealing the bone, had been slashed open on his chest by the axe.
Chang Xian dragged his spear back to his main camp and began applying the secret medicine to heal his injuries.
"Ouch!"
Soon, another cry of alarm came from the depths of the demonic mist, followed by another Yanhuang general being sent flying backwards and crashing heavily to the ground, his fate unknown.
Two people suddenly rushed out from behind, quickly helped him up, and dragged him back to the rear of the main camp.
At this moment, although the elder priests could not see clearly what was happening in the fog, they knew that two of them had just been defeated and retreated, and that the situation was now very unfavorable to their side.
So, each wielding their magical artifacts, they rushed into the fog, hoping to lend Long Yin and his companions a hand...
In the sky, Chisongzi, relying on the power of the Kan-Gen-Kun Banner, steadily suppressed Gonggong. Although he could not win for the time being, he showed no signs of defeat.
Both Lone Pine and Ghost Chariot displayed their skills, and it was impossible to tell who would win for the time being.
As for the battle between Tianyi Zhenjun and Jiuying, it was also extremely fierce, and the situation was somewhat deadlocked for a time...
