Chapter 12: One step makes a world of difference
Wang Jian took direct action against Zhao Yi.

This time he wanted to capture Zhao Yi and bring him back alive.

In his opinion, if Zhao Yi could be captured alive, it would deal a greater blow to the morale of the rebels.

At the same time, it can also strengthen the morale of the army and deter some wavering ones.

The killing on the battlefield is far less bloody than what you see with your own eyes.

That's the scariest thing.

The mighty force rises into the sky, condensing into a mighty fighting spirit.

In the Tongtian realm, one controls the power of heaven and earth, and any move can change the celestial phenomena.

The huge Tongtian War Soul was hundreds of feet tall, overlooking Zhao Yi like a god.

Wang Jian raised his hand, and boom! The surrounding void trembled in front of him, and then the Tongtian Fighting Spirit directly suppressed Zhao Yi with a palm.

The palm was like the Five Finger Mountain, making Zhao Yi's eyes go dark.

Not to mention being interfered with by Marquis Wuchuan.

Even if not, he is far from being a match.

Bang! He was about to soar into the sky, but this palm fell and broke through Tongtian's defense.

Then, it fell from a high altitude, hit the ground heavily, and created a deep pit.

"what!"

Zhao Yi yelled and was about to struggle.

However, Wang Jian suppressed Zhao Yi with his mighty power, formed the might of heaven, and restrained Zhao Yi with his mighty means.

"He wants to capture me alive!"

Zhao Yi's heart trembled.

He knew that he had betrayed the emperor and had long been on the opposing side.

If he was captured alive by Wang Jian and brought back to the imperial capital, even if he was one of the twenty-eight founding marquises, his end would probably be miserable.

Therefore, there was no way he would allow Wang Jian to be captured alive.

Instantly, destructive energy burst out from his body, transforming into wisps of destructive aurora.

At the same time, he burned his soul, showing a desperate attitude, trying to reach the peak in the shortest time possible.

"Duke Li, help me out of this predicament!"

Zhao Yi still has one last glimmer of hope.

Li Hong was very anxious.

He wanted to restrain Wang Jian so that he could not continue to attack.

As Zhao Yi was risking his life, he didn't believe that Sun Ting was willing to die together with him, so he would naturally open a way for Zhao Yi to survive.

However, his expression changed suddenly.

Wang Jian raised his sword.

The Canglong Mountains shine.

Countless mountains burst into auroras at the same time.

The auroras gathered, and a huge dark vortex condensed in the sky, accompanied by an extremely terrifying aura, as if it was about to form a blue dragon.

"The Azure Dragon Formation, transform into a Azure Dragon!"

Li Hong shouted in surprise.

Once the blue dragon is fully formed, even he will not be able to escape.

"He's finished. Pingxing Hou can't save him!"

Li Hong's face was full of bitterness.

At this point, he could only admit his failure.

If he tried to rescue Marquis Pingxing by force, he would also be in trouble.

He gave up rescuing Pingxing Hou and took advantage of the time when Wang Jian wanted to capture Zhao Yi alive.

He was extremely decisive, unleashing a lot of his inherent strength and trying his best to break through.

Take control of the boundless formation and command the elements of heaven and earth.

Even if Zhao Yi wanted to perish along with Wang Jian, he was powerless under the double suppression of Wang Jian.

Wang Jian moved as time went by, and in the fluctuations of the void, he arrived beside Zhao Yi, suppressed his extraordinary power, and captured him alive.

"kill!"

Chang Hai also led more powerful men to pursue.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

So many rebels were fleeing frantically at this moment, and countless were hacked to death along the way. Many also laid down their weapons and surrendered in fear.

"Hahaha, so happy!"

Chang Hai vented his joy.

This was the first time we had achieved such a big victory.

Over the past few years, Chang Hai and the imperial court have been extremely frustrated by repeated defeats in battles with Prince Ning's army.

"General Wang, the rebels suffered heavy losses this time. We also captured a lot of prisoners, and even captured Pingxing Hou alive."

After Chang Hai roughly counted the results of the battle, he immediately came to Wang Jian and said, "It's a pity that Li Hong escaped."

"Li Hong participated in the construction of the Tianyong Defense Line. He knows the weaknesses of the formation and planned a retreat for himself. His escape was within my expectations. Although I didn't kill him, this great victory can resolve the crisis in Qianzhou, gradually balance the war situation, and turn the passive situation into the active one."

Wang Jian smiled.

The great victory frightened the people.

This battle has achieved his goal.

As for Li Hong.

This kind of Duke-level existence is extremely powerful, and has some hidden cards that even the imperial court doesn't know about. It is difficult to suppress and kill such an existence.

In the past, Duke Lu died in the East China Sea War, which also caused the overseas sects to pay a huge price.

Chang Hai nodded: "Now, what should we do, should we continue the pursuit?"

"Advance slowly. They will run towards Prince Ning. As long as we move closer to Duke Chang, we will force them to give up the attack. However, the rebels may retreat before we get there."

Wang Jian was too steady and prudent to become blindly arrogant because of this short victory.

This time, the crisis was merely resolved.

“What should we do with these rebels?”

Chang Hai looked at the rebels and then at Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi was pinned to the ground like a dead dog, with anger in his eyes: "Kill me if you have the guts!"

"Do you still think you are a marquis? You are just a defeated general. As a founding hero, you betrayed His Majesty and followed Prince Ning in rebellion, dragging our Great Xia into the flames of war. You are guilty of a heinous crime!"

Chang Hai looked at Zhao Yi angrily.

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Prince Ning is the true emperor and the one who inherited Taizu's will. I am right!"

Zhao Yi said.

"General Chang, no need to say more. Take Pingxing Marquis and these prisoners to the Imperial City and leave everything to His Majesty to decide."

Wang Jian said.

Qianzhou Front.

The assault continues.

Seven of the nine lines of defense set up by Chang Yu had been broken under the fierce attack.

Every line of defense was covered with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.

All the generals gathered around Prince Ning.

"We have broken through seven lines of defense, and the eighth line of defense is about to be broken. The morale of the imperial army is low and they no longer have the same fighting spirit as before. Even though Chang Yu is a famous general, he cannot save the situation."

"As long as we work harder, we will be able to capture the city in no time."

"It's been so many days since the Tianyong battle line was breached. Once that is breached and we attack from both inside and outside, the powerful men of the imperial court on the ninth line of defense will also despair and may even turn to us!"

The generals burst into laughter and couldn't wait to hold a celebration banquet.

There was also a faint smile on Prince Ning's face.

Up to now, everything has gone according to his settings.

He was also aware of the strength of the Tianyong Defense Line. However, without Chang Yu guarding it personally, it would be impossible to hold it with only other strong men.

He also placed hidden agents inside the Imperial Capital.

We must catch people like Wuchuan Hou who have a wavering mentality.

If we win here, the outcome is basically decided.

The throne of emperor is just around the corner.

His eldest nephew's so-called plan was just a last-ditch struggle.

"Wait for news from Tianyong Pass."

Ning Wangdao.

Suddenly.

A large number of figures rushed towards them in a panic.

"It's Duke Li!"

"Why are they here? Didn't they attack from both sides after taking over Tianyong Pass? Could it be that something went wrong at Tianyong Pass?"

"Impossible. With Duke Li leading the team personally, there aren't many strong men at Tianyong Pass. Even if we mobilize five more military camps, it will be useless!"

They were shocked and all looked at Li Hong.

"Duke Li, what's wrong?" someone asked.

Li Hong ignored them and rushed to Prince Ning, his face full of guilt, "Your Highness, we lost the battle at Tianyong Pass. I was incompetent and failed to capture Tianyong Pass. The army suffered heavy losses, and Pingxing Hou was captured alive!"

"what!"

The expressions of the generals changed drastically, and their faces were extremely interesting.

How can this be.

Even if they failed to capture Tianyong Pass, the losses would not have been so heavy, and even Pingxing Hou was captured alive.

"Say, what's going on?"

Chu Cang suppressed his anger.

"We were deceived. The commander of Tianyong is not Chang Hai, but a man named Wang Jian. His strength has reached the eighth level of Tongtian. I am no match for him and fell into his trap!"

Li Hong explained the details in brief words.

"Wang Jian!"

Chu Cang had naturally never heard of Wang Jian. He clenched his palms and said, "It seems that my father still left him a trump card. What did you think back then? My elder brother passed away, and I am your best son. You also said that I am most like you."

"My lord, what should we do now?"

The generals were in great confusion.

"Qianzhou can no longer fight, so Wang Jian will definitely support Qianzhou, and I am just one step away."

Chu Cang calmed himself down.

But this one step makes a world of difference.

He looked at Qianzhou from afar and said: "Give up the attack, retreat with all your troops, and make plans later!"
