Chapter 527 Congratulations, Your Majesty, there is a happy event in the South (5k)
Commander Zhao wants to control the clouds and rain? What does that mean?
The palace attendant on the high slope was stunned for a moment, but the attempt of the "White Falcon" beside him to follow made him immediately look away.
"The master wants us to wait here, so it's better not to go and cause trouble at this time." Song Jinxi stared at Nie Yurong in a flat tone.
The female killer hesitated for a moment, thinking that this was not a good time, so she stopped quietly and just frowned as she looked at Zhao Duan who was approaching the city gate rapidly in the distance.
at the same time.
The fighting under the city wall also took a new turn. Suddenly, a low and mournful sound of a retreat horn was blown from the top of the city wall.
"when--"
The monk Fanlong, who was fighting with Tang Jinzhong, swept his long staff across, blocking his opponent's sword. He turned his head to look at the smoke rising slowly from the top of the city wall, and subconsciously murmured:
"Amitabha……"
Tang Jinzhong was stunned for a moment, his expression changed: "You are from Shenlong Temple..."
However, Fanlong had already turned around, used magic to lighten his body, and flew to the top of the city wall.
On the other side, the general who was staring at Lang Shiba once again forced him to retreat and immediately shouted:
"Cover the general's departure!"
"General Su, go first. I will stay here to cover your retreat." Lu Tong said calmly without stopping the arrow shooting action in his hand.
Su Dan nodded, without saying anything else, and ran down the city wall as fast as possible under the cover of the defenders on the city wall.
The rebels in the city had already made preparations to evacuate. After blocking the city gate, they immediately retreated towards the south gate in a mighty force.
The fire will not block the evacuation route in a short time, which is enough time for them to leave.
“Whoosh—”
After Lu Tong shot another powerful arrow, he smiled at Xue Shence, who was holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji and had an extremely ugly expression on his face, and waved his hand before turning around and disappearing.
The soldiers of the Beijing camp took the opportunity to rush to the top of the city wall, and then they were stunned, and they could clearly see the flames rising from all over the city.
"The burning of the city has begun, and we are a step too late... Su Dan has made preparations and has calculated everything..."
Under the protection of the soldiers, Mo Chou walked to Xue Shence with a pale face and smiled bitterly.
The soldiers around looked at the wolf smoke that pierced the sky and the earth, and their hearts sank. They no longer felt any joy at having captured the city.
"Open the city gates!" Xue Shence, the commander-in-chief, remained calm and decisive.
"Go into the city and put out the fire!!"
The soldiers obeyed the order and this time there was no resistance. A group of soldiers immediately rushed towards the closed city gate with battering rams, but lime fell down and they could not break it open.
"General! The gate is blocked!" someone said with trembling lips.
"Let me do it!" Suddenly, Chen Gui came striding over, eyes wide open, almost roaring:
"Tell the soldiers on the city walls to evacuate the civilians inside the city gates. I'm going to bombard the city with cannons!"
Xue Shence glanced at him and didn't expect that the Shenjiying's Shenwei cannon would play a role at this moment.
He immediately gave the order to evacuate the people, while Chen Gui, trembling all over, held a huge flag tightly and waved it down fiercely.
The powerful cannons that had been lying in ambush on the distant high ground for a long time opened fire at the same time!
"boom--"
Amidst a deafening roar, the city gate that was blocked by stones collapsed under the artillery fire, rubble flew everywhere, and the entire city wall was shaking and cracking!
"Go into the city and put out the fire!" Xue Shence shouted, leading the way and rushing into the broken gap.
As soon as we entered the city, we saw flames rising everywhere in the city. The fire was fueled by the wind and burned very quickly!
Although the fire was not big yet, it was obviously too late for the soldiers to go get water to put out the fire.
As for the evacuated rebels?
Xue Shence no longer had the heart to pursue, the most urgent task was to put out the fire.
"Do everything you can! Go into the city to stop the flames from spreading, and save as many as you can!"
Xue Shence almost roared as he ordered his soldiers to fetch water and to extinguish the nearby smoke signals first.
However, soon, a soldier came running over with an empty bucket, looking sad:
"The city's water wells have also been blocked by the rebels!"
Even the well was blocked in advance... Xue Shence staggered.
The mighty military god of the Yu State, the invincible commander on the battlefield, was now hastily using his Fang Tian Hua Ji to support his body. Even though his expression remained calm, he felt deeply powerless in his heart!
Mo Chou also stood in the crowd with a look of death, looking at the bright flames everywhere in the distance, lighting up the houses one after another. Suddenly she remembered something, turned her head abruptly, grabbed Ji Yue, and said in a hurried tone:
"You can control water! Can you put out the fire?"
Jiyue was startled and shook her head:
"I don't have enough mana... the city is too big..."
With her ability, she could extinguish a village of Songjiazhuang's size, but she was powerless against such a large city, not to mention the fields outside the city.
Mo Chou was distraught, with only one thought in her mind:
It’s over!
However, at this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed:
"Commander Zhao is here!"
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look back, and in an instant, all their eyes were looking at the gap in the collapsed city gate.
At this moment, the thick smoke had not yet dissipated, and in the ruins and smoke-filled war, a familiar tall figure walked over.
Zhao Duan carried the sword diagonally on his back. His upper body was wearing a pure white half-body armor with a black human face pattern printed on his chest.
But at some point, she had put on a slightly illusory red robe, and her hair bun had been broken, with her black hair fluttering in the flames of war.
He seemed to be walking very slowly, but in fact he was walking very fast. In just a few breaths, he arrived in front of everyone.
"Commander Zhao..." Xue Shence saw him and laughed bitterly, "We're a step too late. The fire is already difficult to contain."
Mo Chou remained silent and dejected.
Familiar faces like Lang Shiba, Ji Yue, Tang Jinzhong, Chen Gui, etc., all lowered their eyes as if they had made a mistake.
As the military supervisor, Zhao Duan did his job perfectly and even raised enough military funds and food.
But they failed in the battle at the front.
Xue Shence took a deep breath and said:
"For this battle, I will submit a petition to His Majesty to apologize. The crime of burning the city will be solely my responsibility..."
Zhao Duan just looked at the fire in the city and said calmly, "It's not too late."
What?
Everyone was stunned, but saw Zhao Duan retract his gaze, and actually smiled at the people with miserable faces, saying:
"Don't worry, I'm still here. This fire can't start."
Immediately, without waiting for everyone's reaction, Zhao Duan suddenly closed his eyes. After a breath, he opened his eyes again. His left eye had suddenly turned silver, and his aura suddenly changed!
At this moment, he temporarily transferred the control of his body to the sorceress who had briefly entered the realm of heaven six hundred years ago.
"Senior, I've boasted so much, can I do it?" he said in his heart.
Pei Niannu's cold voice echoed in his heart: "Shut... up..."
The next moment, a circular magic circle suddenly spread out from the ground under Zhao Duan's feet. The formation was extremely complex and mysterious.
At the same time, white flames streamed from his Scarlet Flame Sacred Armor, and his aura surged crazily. In the blink of an eye, he broke through his original realm, reaching the highest level in the world, the pinnacle of the world... and continued to climb...
The magic circle flashed and Zhao Duan disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was standing above Ning'an County. The cold wind blew his hair. Looking down, the buildings on the ground looked like blocks and the people were as small as ants.
Zhao Duan just floated in the air without falling.
The entire city was in his sight, and his aura "clicked", as if breaking through some kind of boundary and stepping into the half-step heavenly realm, and he still had enough strength to continue moving forward.
"It's too late, cast the spell quickly." Zhao Duan urged, and then he "saw" his right hand raised, and a black and ancient seal slowly rotated in the palm of his hand.
The Black Turtle Seal is an ancient talisman that controls the path of the water god.
"Stop...talking...long-winded..." Pei Niannu said, and seemed to use some method. Zhao Duan's Qi Sea became a transit station, continuously drawing flames from the Red Flame Holy Armor, steaming them into frosty Qi, and then transferring them into the Black Turtle Seal.
“Boom!!”
Over the sky of Ning'an County, with Zhao Du'an as the center, dark clouds suddenly gathered madly in an area of a hundred miles in radius!
In just a few breaths, thick dark clouds enveloped the entire city, as if it had entered night, and the light dimmed.
In the clouds, electric snakes danced wildly, tearing through the darkness.
The sound was so terrifying that everyone in and outside the city stopped and looked up at the sky.
"What's going on?! Where did the rain clouds come from?"
Near the south gate, in the rebel army, Su Dan reined in his horse and looked up, his pupils suddenly contracting!
The masters beside him, such as Fan Long and Lu Tong, also showed expressions of astonishment.
"It's magic! A powerful person is casting a spell, trying to make the clouds and rain!" Fanlong, a monk from Shenlong Temple, exclaimed.
"Found him!" Lu Tong, known as the best archer in Yunfu, has a pair of extremely powerful eyes. With just a glance, he locked onto a figure hiding in the dark clouds somewhere in the sky through the clouds.
"What a good sorcerer! I never thought that the court had prepared a backup plan. Watch me shoot him down!" Lu Tong's eyes blazed with a faint golden light. He bent his bow and arrow, locking onto the sky.
When he tried to stop Xue Shence before, he had only pulled the mysterious bow halfway.
At this moment, with the bowstring crackling, Lu Tong exerted all his strength and pulled the bow into a "full moon"!
The bow and arrow under the full moon state underwent an even more strange change. Behind Lu Tong, an illusory "artillery position" appeared, with a total of thirty-six illusory arrows, simultaneously locking onto Zhao Duan in the sky.
"Get down here!"
Lu Tong shouted loudly, the bowstring trembled, and the arrow tore through a turbulent air and flew straight into the sky. The thirty-six arrows followed and merged into the bowstring one by one in mid-air.
This arrow, which is the final complete fusion of thirty-six arrows, is enough to seriously injure the best in the world, and even the peak of the world will be defeated!
"kindness?"
In the sky, above the clouds, Zhao Duan suddenly noticed a streak of light rising from the ground and appearing in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Almost subconsciously, he raised his left arm and pointed his finger.
Wisps of white flame shot out from his fingertips, wrapping around the fatal arrow that was flying towards him.
Then, the arrow began to melt rapidly from the tip into iron liquid, dripping down. When it disappeared, no one was able to get close.
"The archer under King Mu?" Zhao Duan's eyes were cold. With his current combat power, he could easily kill him.
"But I have more important things to do right now."
He turned his gaze, put away the Black Turtle Seal, and looked at the huge phantom of a god that was slowly emerging from the dark clouds in front of him, almost occupying half of the sky.
That is the water god.
He was dressed in an illusory blue robe and wore a crown on his head. His features were blurry and his majesty and solemnity were unimaginable.
He holds a bronze staff in his hand, surrounded by precious pearls, and with layers of water waves surging on his body, he is the existence of the faith of all living beings.
In front of Him, Zhao Duan was as small as dust, but at this moment, Zhao Duan, who had briefly leveraged almost celestial power, was able to control this god.
"Call the wind!"
Zhao Duan raised his hand, and the huge water god that covered the sky also waved his bronze staff.
Then, the wind within a radius of dozens of miles suddenly disappeared.
Although the Water God did not have the power of the "Wind God", Zhao Duan only needed to control the amount of water vapor in this area to change the temperature and eliminate the wind.
"Call for rain!"
Zhao Du'an held the divine decree in his mouth and looked down at the whole city. When his divine gaze swept over, electric snakes danced wildly in the clouds, and bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, hitting the ground and wetting a small area of the ground.
Then……
Endless raindrops followed one after another.
At this moment, heavy rain swept across an area of nearly a hundred miles.
…
Su Dan and other rebels looked at the countless raindrops falling from the sky, and their hearts sank to the bottom.
"Go! Go!"
Su Dan suddenly reacted, shouted loudly, and waved the whip to whip the warhorse.
He didn't know what exactly happened, but he knew that once the fire was extinguished, the imperial army would have no scruples and would swarm in.
"Amitabha! Let's go!"
Fan Long had a complicated expression on his face. He raised his hand and pulled Lu Tong, who was standing there in a daze and a little distracted, and quickly followed the army and fled out of the city.
The commander's misconduct seemed to have triggered a chain reaction. The rebels, who had been well-organized, became panicked and fled to the south.
…
Outside a barracks somewhere in the city.
"Boss, it's raining! It's raining heavily! The wind has stopped!" a soldier shouted in surprise.
The rest of the Death Squad soldiers were also surprised and delighted. They stood in the heavy rain with their hands raised, feeling the rain hitting their bodies, and found that the flames in the distance were slowly weakening.
Wei Xianzong stood on the empty street, the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. He looked up at the sky and suddenly smiled:
"Ha...hahaha...there's always a way out..."
.
"Dark clouds are coming!" Tang Ping said in surprise.
After the wolf smoke rose, the people in the Shenji Camp were already in the lowest mood.
But not long after, large dark clouds were seen flying in at an unreasonable speed, covering the sky, and then a heavy rain began to spread from Ning'an County in all directions.
"The farmland is saved." Shi Meng murmured.
.
Yuan Feng stood in the rain in a daze, and suddenly slapped himself: "Is it true...it's raining?"
A general nearby covered his face and said aggrievedly, "Sir, you hit me in the face."
Yuan Feng: "I know."
Everyone: “…”
.
Song Jinxi raised his palm in surprise, letting the bean-sized water droplets hit his palm, and suddenly realized:
"Controlling the clouds and rain, this is controlling the clouds and rain... But how did you do it, sir? Changing the celestial phenomena on such a large scale is something only a celestial being can do..."
Nie Yurong's eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost:
Is this okay? .
Heavy rain poured down, and everyone on Xue Shence's and the others had an expression of deep shock on their faces.
"It's the master who is controlling the clouds and raining rain! Putting out the flames!" Lang Shiba said in surprise.
Ji Yue, the old shepherd, was so shocked that she almost bent over and looked up at the sky in awe.
As a water god sorcerer, she could feel more clearly than anyone else the huge and invisible shadow of the god above the dark clouds.
And...Zhao Duan's aura at this moment is far beyond the worldly realm.
"It's him..." Mo Chou looked up at the sky blankly, and her eyes, which had been dull and dim, began to shine again!
She didn't know how Zhao Duan did it. Had he already planned all this?
But at this moment, none of this matters. What matters is that the city has been saved.
"All soldiers, listen up!" Suddenly, Xue Shence came to his senses and raised his Fang Tian Hua Ji. The sound was like thunder, attracting the attention of the surrounding generals.
The Great Yu Military God tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart and laughed loudly:
"Commander Zhao has controlled the fire with his powerful tactics. We can't fall behind. Everyone, follow me and mount your horses. Let's hunt down the rebels and capture their leader!"
The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted: "Yes!"
A mighty torrent of steel rushed into the distance.
Mo Chou and Ji Yue stayed where they were, and were suddenly surprised to notice two streaks of light flashing behind them.
She was stunned for a moment, not seeing clearly, and turned her head to ask:
"Did you see anything fly by?"
Ji Yue nodded hesitantly, stretched out her hand and made a gesture with her middle and index fingers spread apart.
"Yeah?" Mo Chou was stunned. She had learned this strange posture when she was chatting with Zhao Duan before.
Jiyue shook his head and said honestly:
"Two. Two priests from the Tianshi Mansion gave chase."
…
…
Thousands of miles away.
In the imperial palace in the capital of Dayu.
Xu Zhenguan sat in the imperial study, reading memorials, holding the red pen in his slender hands to make comments.
Suddenly, she felt something in her heart, as if she sensed something, and ink dripped from the tip of her pen.
The empress in white walked out of the study and looked up. It was a sunny day in the capital today, but her beautiful eyes were looking towards the south.
To be precise, it was in the direction of Linfeng Taicang. There was some uncertainty in the empress's eyes.
Just now, she, as a cultivator in the Heavenly Man Realm, vaguely felt the turbulence of the heavenly forces, which often meant that a cultivator in the Heavenly Man Realm was doing his utmost to attack.
The celestial phenomena were changed, so even though she was thousands of miles away, she could still feel it.
But... this feeling is not clear.
"Is it Xuanyin? Or Wuxiankui?"
The empress's heart suddenly tightened, and she subconsciously felt panic because she was worried about someone's safety.
Without hesitation, the empress leaped up, controlled the sword light, and appeared in the small courtyard deep in the Tianshi Mansion.
The big banyan tree was swaying slightly. The tall old Taoist priest with narrow eyes and brows was standing under the tree with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of Linfeng.
Behind him, on a coffee table, the jade-written "Book of Heaven" was half-curled up.
"Your Majesty also felt it?" Zhang Yan turned around calmly.
The Empress stared at him and said, "I specialize in martial arts, not astronomy. May I ask if there are any celestial beings who can help me?"
There was a glint of wisdom in Zhang Yan's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly with a hint of smile, as if he could see through the empress's inner worries.
He suddenly smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, there is good news in the South."
