Chapter 559 Fighting General
The two armies faced each other from a distance.

The coalition forces of Qianfenglin were all over the mountains, with large numbers and great momentum.

Sitting in the coach's seat was an old man with a hunched body, thin face, ordinary appearance and mottled skin.

It’s Mr. Long.

On both sides of him, there were various heroes.

Sitting on the far left was a green-robed monk, middle-aged in appearance, with an aloof demeanor. He was none other than the coalition forces’ military advisor Lu Hongtu.

Beside Lu Hongtu, there was the Demon Heart Cave Master with eyes like whirlpools and black and purple scales all over his body, the Blood Shadow Cave Master with bloody light and shadow all over his body, the Poison Scorpion Cave Master with a human body, a scorpion tail, and purple clouds. There was Ju Bing with a pig's head and a human body, Jin Tunhe with a copper coin talisman printed on it, and Qianye who was born as a phantom fox demon...

At the upper right end, there is a huge figure.

He has an elephant head and a human body, with a strong body, a chest as broad as a city gate, limbs as thick as tree trunks, and pale blue skin. What is particularly eye-catching is a pair of snow-white tusks, which look like two crescent moons.

He is the contemporary elephant king among the pale wild elephants in the Thousand Peaks Forest.

Beside him, there is Chen Lingfeng, who has an eagle's head and a human body; there is Wu Hen, who practices strange ways; there is Gu Ya, who has blue hair, white skin, and wolf claw marks on his face. There is also the old barbarian woman Bi Teng Yi and her husband, Cang Teng Wang. There is Tu Ming, who has a dead snake wrapped around his waist and a poison sac hanging from his neck...

It can be said that the elite troops of the Qianfenglin coalition are all out, and almost all the strong men are gathered here.

Lord Long looked out at the camp of the two kingdoms from afar and saw that the camp looked like a bronze city, solemn and majestic.

There were sentry towers at intervals along the city wall. With flags flying, soldiers stood on the city wall, well-equipped and in high spirits.

Surrounding the camp and on the battlefield outside the city wall, there were many arrow towers, and chevaux de frise and trenches were neatly distributed.

The battlefield has now been cleaned up and is no longer just a pile of rubble.

Mr. Long's gaze unconsciously swept to the other side.

Not far from the camp, there lies a mountain, which is the Dragon King Giant Tree Mountain.

This time, Lord Long mobilized a large army to besiege the front-line camps of the two countries. One of the main purposes was to rescue the members and believers of the Dragon King Temple on the Dragon King Giant Tree Mountain.

Mr. Long said, "The enemy is well-prepared and well-defended. If you have any good suggestions, please feel free to tell us."

Everyone was silent and turned their eyes to Lu Hongtu.

Since the beginning of the war, Lu Hongtu has performed extremely well, and he has not hesitated to use his own resources to widely contact fellow Taoists, powerful people, and large and small forces in Qianfenglin.

It can be said that in addition to the signature of the Canxu Dragon King, Lu Hongtu's contacts also played a key role in the establishment of the alliance.

Lu Hongtu was hired as the Allied Forces' military strategist, which was what everyone expected.

After this, Lu Hongtu advocated it with all his might and took the initiative to offer suggestions and arrange an ambush, which achieved considerable results and established his authority.

After the first major battle, Lord Long temporarily left his position. Various monks in the coalition army coveted the spoils and acted on their own.

Despite the strenuous opposition from Chen Lingfeng and others, Lu Hongtu just sat back and watched, secretly letting them go.

This move was not beneficial to the overall situation, but it allowed Lu Hongtu to gain more people’s hearts and reputation.

Therefore, at this moment, everyone used practical actions to elect him to speak.

Lu Hongtu pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "The enemy spared no expense to build such a camp, which can almost be called a city wall."

"Many Daoists have been defeated by the heavy weapons of the enemy camp before. I believe we have also experienced the power of this camp."

Everyone listened silently, and many people nodded slightly, expressing their deepest resonance.

Lu Hongtu added: "Especially, Du Tiechuan stayed in the enemy camp to recuperate. If he really provoked this powerful enemy at the level of God Transformation..."

Lu Hongtu paused deliberately and successfully saw that everyone's expressions changed slightly.

In the last major battle, Du Tiechuan defeated the Shenxu Dragon King head-on. This alone was enough to prove his fighting power!
The highest level of cultivation in the coalition was only at the Nascent Soul level, and there was no one at the Divine Transformation level. If Du Tiechuan was forced out, everyone present would be in trouble.

Lu Hongtu paused deliberately and looked at Mr. Long.

As he did this, other monks also cast inquiring and expectant glances at Master Long.

The meaning is very clear - they are all asking whether King Shenxu Dragon will show up again in this battle?
Master Long did not have an answer in his mind, so he could only say, "Every move of the gods is confidential. It is related to the final outcome of this battle, so I cannot disclose it casually."

"However, now that our coalition has mobilized, if we are completely wiped out by Du Tiechuan's tactics, the overall situation of the Thousand Peaks Forest will be completely overturned by the two countries."

Master Long did not give a direct answer nor did he make a clear statement, but through his words, he still successfully persuaded all the cultivators present.

"Yes, if we all die in battle, there will be no more garrison forces in Qianfenglin, and the enemy can march straight in with ease!"

"The Shenxu Dragon King is so powerful, his body is full of vitality, he must have recovered long ago."

"The Dragon King Giant Tree Mountain is lying there, and there are too many members of the Dragon King Temple on the mountain."

A gleam of brilliance flashed in the depths of Lu Hongtu's eyes.

In addition to Du Tiechuan and the Dragon King Shenxu, the key figures who can influence this war include Master Shengxu.

"Has Master Shengxu been persuaded?"

"According to intelligence, he is still staying where he is."

"It seems that he was not invited, but his behavior of staying in Qianfeng Forest is itself suspicious."

Lu Hongtu kept deducing in his mind.

Because the transaction involved Shenghai Longquan, which was against the reputation of the God King, this matter was kept strictly confidential by Long Ye and others, and Lu Hongtu was not aware of it.

"Below Master Shengxu are the two ghosts of heaven and earth."

"If we can find these two, the allied forces' combat power will increase dramatically."

"Pity……"

Thinking of this, Ning Zhuo's name popped up in Lu Hongtu's mind.

His eyes flickered slightly.

The information about the battle between the two ghosts of heaven and earth has already been passed on to the alliance in Qianfenglin.

The combined attack of heaven and earth killed and injured many Nascent Soul cultivators in the armies of the two Zhu countries, causing a huge weakening of the latter. This was one of the opportunities for the Qianfenglin Allied Forces to take the initiative to launch a siege.

But in the end, the two ghosts of heaven and earth were cleverly instigated by Ning Zhuo to rebel against Tian Shuang, causing them to be defeated and flee.

Therefore, Ning Zhuo, the once small foundation-building cultivator, has become a name that must be paid attention to in Lu Hongtu's mind at this moment!
"Ning Zhuo and the Ning family...are a problem."

"After this war, we will try to deal with this trouble as soon as possible!"

Lord Long spoke, interrupting Lu Hongtu's thoughts: "Military Advisor, please continue."

Lu Hongtu: “Yes.”

He continued, "The enemy's city walls are high, and they have already gathered all their forces to defend them. It would be unwise for us to attack them forcefully."

"Although we have troops, as everyone knows, they are not well trained and do not have an advantage in a direct confrontation with the regular armies of the two countries."

"Thanks to the two ghosts of heaven and earth, the number of Yuanying cultivators in the enemy army is far less than ours."

"This is exactly what we can do!"

At this point, Lu Hongtu glanced around and said, "My suggestion is that we, the Nascent Soul cultivators, attack alone and start a verbal battle against the enemy."

Upon hearing this, everyone expressed their agreement.

The coalition forces are loose and filled with many strong men, who are better at fighting alone rather than as a legion.

This method of fighting generals is most suitable for the coalition forces to give full play to their own advantages.

While the coalition forces were discussing, the armies of the two countries were also discussing on the city wall.

The military supervisor Zhao Xi, wearing official uniform and holding a staff, occupies the center position.

On the left are the clever princess Shuang Ling, the commander of the White Jade Camp Shuang Jing, the commander of the Red Flower Camp Mu Lan, the commander of the Fire Cloud Camp Lu Chi, and so on.

On the right are the spiritual chefs Ding Pi and Jia Wan, two national priests Song Ji, Mo Yechen with a mynah bird standing on his shoulder, and so on.

"A war is about to start, but someone in our army deserted his post and fled. He deserves death!" Shuang Jing said, staring at Liu Er gloomily. Zhao Xi immediately waved his hand and said, "Ning Zhuo, the military advisor of the Third General Camp, I have already issued a secret order and made other arrangements."

"I see." Shuang Jing immediately confessed his crime.

Although Zhao Xi knew that Shuang Jing was disgusting him, he still frowned in annoyance.

He thought to himself, "What's going on with this Ning Zhuo?"

"At this critical moment, you still haven't returned to the barracks!"

"If the enemy really sends out the Heaven and Earth Ghosts, how should I respond?"

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhao Xi saw a cultivator flying out from the coalition forces.

His figure was blurry, and he was covered in a layer of bloody light and shadow. His aura was surging, like the sound of waves spreading out.

It was the Blood Shadow Cave Master of the Six Caves Sect.

The leader of the Blood Shadow Cave opened his mouth and started to curse, accusing the many generals of the two countries of incompetence and cowardice, and issued a provocation, asking them if they dared to fight him in a duel.

If you don’t dare, you are a coward.

At this time, the Lord of the Blood Shadow Cave was blessed with a military strategy called Challenge.

With his provocation, the military tactics played their power, causing a mysterious connection between the morale of the two armies.

Zhao Xi's expression darkened. Whatever he feared was about to happen.

The enemy's high-level combat power has an advantage and is fully utilized, which makes Zhao Xi feel very uncomfortable.

"Who will go out to fight against it?" Zhao Xi asked.

As soon as the words fell, a Yuanying cultivator shouted, "I'll do it!"

When everyone looked, they found out it was Xu Dali.

Xu Dali is now a commander without troops. The entire barbarian camp was destroyed and he was the only one who escaped.

When he arrived at the front-line camp, because it was located in the heart of Thousand Peaks Forest and it was difficult to replenish troops, Xu Dali was never able to take control of the organization.

Therefore, if he wants to make achievements in the future, it will be difficult without the support of the army.

Right now, it is a rare opportunity.

Xu Dali wanted to grab it tightly and use it to turn over!

However, Zhao Xi looked hesitant.

Other monks also spoke up, saying that Xu Dali was injured and needed more rest.

This is of course a polite and euphemistic way of saying it.

Xu Dali was anxious and immediately patted his chest to indicate that all his injuries were healed.

He was a straightforward person and did not understand the implicit meaning of what people said.

Zhao Xi was also thinking: "The first battle is quite important. Although Xu Dali is at the Nascent Soul level, his personal combat power is not outstanding. Let's just forget it!"

Zhao Xi glanced around and finally fixed his eyes on a certain cultivator.

"Master Lei, how about I leave the first battle to you?"

Master Lei Tianshi’s real name is Lei Qingyang, and his cultivation level is Nascent Soul stage.

He was eight feet tall, as tall as a pine tree, with muscles as if carved by a knife or an axe, and light golden lightning patterns faintly visible on his skin, as if electric light was flowing under his skin.

His eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were bright, and there seemed to be thunder in his pupils. His nose was as high as a peak, his jawline was firm, his hair and beard were white but he did not look old, and occasionally there were tiny sparks of electricity between his hair.

He wore an indigo robe with thundercloud patterns, the Big Dipper embroidered on the cuffs, and thirty-six thunder jades adorning the hem of his robe to ward off evil. When he walked, the thunder jades collided with each other, making clear thunderous sounds.

When he heard Zhao Xi calling him, he immediately lowered his head slightly, bowed, and said in a loud voice: "I obey your command!"

He acted decisively and flew directly away from the city wall towards the Blood Shadow Cave Master.

The other monks had no objection.

Lei Qingyang is an old and powerful man who has been famous for a long time and has a profound foundation. He also majored in the "Nine Heavens Thunder Glory Sutra" and mastered the magical power of killing evil with thunder and explosion. He is a true lord.

Zhao Xi's arrangement was also correct.

This is the first battle, the victory or defeat is very important, and its result often has the greatest impact on morale.

The two of them flew higher. The Blood Shadow Cave Master kept chattering, but Lei Qingyang shouted and took the first step.

He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the thirty-six evil-repelling thunder jades on the hem of his clothes all flew out and killed the Blood Shadow Cave Master.

bang bang bang...

The evil-repelling lightning jades collided with each other in mid-air, and every time they collided, flashes of lightning burst out.

The lightning exploded towards the Blood Shadow Cave Master, and the power to ward off evil had a restraining effect on the latter.

The Blood Shadow Cave Master grinned sinisterly and threw out three scarlet blood beads from his sleeves.

The blood beads swelled up in the wind and turned into three hundred-foot-long blood dragons, which rushed over with a fishy and foul smell.

The blood dragon was so ferocious that it directly broke through the thirty-six evil-repelling thunder jades and surrounded Lei Qingyang.

Lei Qingyang lightly drew his sword finger, and the Tiangang Leizhi Sword shot up into the sky from behind him!

Swordsmanship—sword energy soars into the sky.

Thunder method——dancing of electric snakes!
The sword body burst out with surging sword energy, which pierced through the surroundings and transformed into thousands of lightning snakes. It was so powerful that it turned the blood dragon into a blood rain in the blink of an eye.

Lei Qingyang took advantage of the situation and pursued him, pinching his left hand to draw out the nine-day cloud thunder.

In an instant, the clouds split apart, and nine purple thunder balls as big as millstones smashed down, heading straight for the Blood Shadow Cave Master.

The figure of the Blood Shadow Cave Master suddenly turned into a blood mist all over the sky. The lightning ball passed through the mist and blew the large mountain area below into dust.

Blood mist filled the sky and gathered above Lei Qingyang's head, condensing into a blood curtain that covered the sky.

Crash.

The blood curtain thickened and condensed, turning into a river of blood that flowed across the sky.

The blood river flowed back and turned into a sticky blood waterfall, covering Lei Qingyang.

Lei Qingyang's face changed slightly. He was unwilling to resist and just wanted to move, but his body was fixed in mid-air.

The blood mist wrapped around his body and turned into blood talismans, temporarily restricting Lei Qingyang's movements.

"When did I get tricked?!" Lei Qingyang was greatly surprised.

He was unable to dodge and watched the blood waterfall rushing down. He could only turn his palm and summon the Lei Ze Gourd.

A blue thundercloud spurted out from the gourd's mouth, and the thundercloud was above Lei Qingyang's head.

The next moment, the blood waterfall hit the thundercloud, immediately making a crackling sound, and both sides engaged in a fierce confrontation.

The blood mist was evaporated into scarlet steam, seemingly in vain. In fact, it was quietly condensing behind Lei Qingyang.

The Lord of the Blood Shadow Cave suddenly appeared from it, and stabbed Lei Qingyang in the back with a blood-transforming divine sword in his hand!

Lei Qingyang's hair stood on end and a blinding electric light burst out from his body with all his strength, shattering the tip of the knife.

Lei Qingyang turned around and slapped out with his palm. The lightning pattern on his palm turned into a five-thunder seal and hit the Blood Shadow Cave Master.

The Blood Shadow Cave Master sneered and disappeared on the spot.

He only lost a blood shadow clone, and when his real body reappeared, it was already high in the sky.
