Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

"Gu Xu has always liked to use some imaginary and real tactics.

"For example, he has used the 'flowering on the tree' strategy before.

"There are no flowers on the tree, but you can cut flowers from colored silk and stick them on books. They are made to look like real flowers. Without looking carefully, it is difficult to tell the real flowers from the fake ones. A weak army can also take advantage of the situation and disguise it as a flower. Enrich your powerful appearance and overwhelm your enemies with your momentum.

"Gu Xu didn't have many soldiers before, but with thousands of paper figures, he forced the defenders of the six northwest cities to surrender without a fight."

"Then what he played today was also the 'flowering on the tree' trick?"

“In my opinion, it feels more like an empty city strategy.

"Normally speaking, when our two armies are confronting each other, if Gu Xu and the saints and true kings under his command appear in front of the battle, it will definitely have a great stimulating effect on the morale of the army.

"Gu Xu, in the name of the reincarnation of a god, has united all the forces in the north, the grassland, and the northwest. He must also need to win a big victory personally to enhance his prestige and control over the rebels.

“However, until now, Gu Xu, Luo Chuan, Xu Man and others have not shown up.

"Perhaps they really encountered something difficult and couldn't get away for the time being, so they couldn't take part in the war.

"But they simply made us 'fake what is false' and made us 'suspicious', making us think that there was a conspiracy and conspiracy ahead, and we did not dare to act rashly.

"I even asked Zhao Yan to chat with me about some irrelevant gossip before coming to the battle.

"Maybe if we delay it any longer, they will succeed."

"I didn't expect that you, a student of talisman and seal script, also read some military books."

"I haven't read it, but my master has. He used to like to talk to me about the art of war in his free time."

"What you said does make some sense," Master Jueming thought for a moment and raised his own question, "There's just one thing I don't understand.

"For Gu Xu and the strong men under his command, what could be more important and more difficult than today's battle that would make them unable to escape?"

Imperial Master Da Qi pondered for a while and said with a serious expression: "Do you think there is anyone among them who is breaking through?"

"Breaking the situation..."

Master Jueming repeated this word silently and frowned unconsciously.

Indeed, for practitioners at their level, only the pursuit of the avenue of heaven and earth and higher power will override this important war that can affect the fate of the country.

Moreover, after the practitioner pushes open the Fengdu Gate, every time he takes a step forward, his strength will undergo a transformation like a complete transformation.

If a saint is successfully promoted to become a true king, he can almost turn the tide of the war on his own.

Gu Xu and others decided not to join the war in order to break the situation, which was undoubtedly a reasonable choice.

In this way, if they really succeed in delaying time and completing the realm jump, then the battle situation faced by the Qi army will be even more difficult.

"Then who do you think will break through the realm?" Master Jueming asked.

"It can only be Xu Man," Da Qi Imperial Master replied without hesitation, "Luo Chuan and Zhao Changying are both powerful True Monarchs, and if they break through further, they will have to overcome the catastrophe.

"Gu Xu only broke through the sixth level this summer. There is no way he can be ready to be promoted to a saint in such a short period of time. "And Xu Man himself is a genius swordsman who became a saint in his thirties. Now, almost thirty years have passed since then. Over such a long period of time, maybe she has gained a deeper understanding of the way of swordsmanship, enough to build her own 'domain realm'. "

When saying this, the Imperial Master spoke very quickly and seemed to be very sure of his judgment.

"But Gu Xu is too different," Master Jueming disagreed with the national master's point of view. "He has cultivated from the first level to the sixth level in less than a year. We can't use Common sense measures it.”

Because Master Jueming felt that Gu Xu might really be the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei.

Therefore, in his opinion, if Gu Xu inherited the understanding of the Great Way of Heaven and Earth from his previous life, then becoming a saint in this life would be as simple as eating and drinking.

"Have you forgotten that if you break through from the sixth realm to the seventh realm, there will be visions in the world?" The national master pointed out the key to the problem, "With Gu Xu's outrageous talent, if he breaks through the realm, his vision will It will cover at least thousands of miles in radius.”

"Until the most critical moment of breaking through, the vision will not appear," Master Jueming retorted, "Maybe Gu Xu is only in the early stages of seclusion now."

"Then it's even more impossible to be Gu Xu," the national master said in a more firm tone, "To condense one's own way and step into the Hall of Yama, the duration of this process is full of uncertainty, ranging from a few days to a few days. months, even years.

“Once a breakthrough begins, the monk will be immersed in the netherworld and lose the concept of time in an instant.

“If you interrupt midway, all your previous efforts will be wasted, and you may even go astray and damage the foundation.

“Like myself, as soon as I closed and opened my eyes, three months passed in a flash.

"Do you think, in today's tense situation, that Gu Xu would be stupid enough to ignore his own power, ignore the enemy approaching the city, hide in a retreat room with all the strong men under his command, and do something unknown? How long will it last?

"In contrast, breaking through from a saint to a true king is a quiet thing. As long as the opportunity comes and you feel it, it will be done in the blink of an eye."

The various explanations given by the Imperial Master were extremely reasonable, and Master Jueming was unable to refute them.

It's just that maybe because the previous meeting with Gu Xu at Lingshan Temple left such a deep impression on Master Jueming, he always had an inexplicable premonition that Gu Xu would give him something in the near future. A huge surprise for him.

The Imperial Master was already deducing silently in his mind, if Xu Man really advanced to the eighth realm with his extremely powerful swordsmanship, how should he and the Qi army deal with it.

At this moment, Zhao Yan's body was filled with flames. First, he punched the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan's turtle-shell-like "Liuhe Shield" to pieces, and then punched Xiao Shangyuan in the chest, causing him to vomit blood, as if a thread had been broken. Falling rapidly from the sky like a kite.

The figure of the national master disappeared on the high platform in an instant.

He tore apart the space and reached the place where the battle was most intense.

He held the prince who fell from the sky with one hand and used his true energy to send him back to the rear of the army. He made several gestures in the air with his other hand.

His fingertips outlined several disembodied runes, which turned into golden meteor showers and formed a circle, imprisoning Zhao Yan's Dharma Aspect so that he could not continue to attack the eldest prince.

Then the master gently clenched his fist.

These golden meteors instantly converged toward the center from all directions and exploded at the heart of the Dharma. They were colorful and gorgeous, like fireworks on the Yuan Yuan night.

The rays of light are magical in patches, and the branches are evenly colored.

When the fireworks dissipated, the image of the fluttering green shirt no longer existed.

Zhao Yan's face suddenly turned pale.
