BXBX NOVEL Chapter 239 The Great Zhou's Crushing Defeat
"That's right. Our Great Zhou has formed a powerful new martial arts legion. It's time to show it to the Xiongnu Tribe and let them see the might of our Great Zhou Army."
"A group of barbarians from the grassland dared to attack our Central Plains. We must make sure that they will never return."
"Your Majesty, I'm willing to go to war and lead the Army to support the northern border Garrison." All the ministers chimed in.
The current Great Zhou was no longer the same as before. Besides having a huge ordinary Army, it also had four extremely powerful martial arts legions. This martial arts legion was not formed by only relying on powerful martial artists. Instead, they had strict training... Even the commanders were saint cultivators.
The battles of the martial arts legion were no longer one-on-one battles. Instead, they could cooperate with each other. The combat strength of such a martial arts legion would increase exponentially. They had even developed battle formations suitable for the martial arts legion.
"General Qin Yuntian, you will temporarily lead the martial arts legion North to support the northern border Garrison. Your first mission is to assist the garrison and defend the defense line." The Empress Changning of the Great Zhou, began to assigning people.
"Your Majesty, I also want to fight." General Long Aotian of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a newly promoted saint cultivator. He could not wait to show off his skills.
"I'll assign tasks to you in the future. This war won't end too soon." Empress Chang Ning said, shaking her head. She did not dare to use new people, as the war with the Xiongnu people was no small matter.
If they were not careful, they would be doomed eternally.
She would wait until Chuan came out of seclusion.
Furthermore, going to the North to help the garrison was a very dangerous mission. If they were not careful, they could be surrounded by the Xiongnu cavalry.
They need to find someone with experience to fight.
...
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. A shocking piece of news came. Millions of Xiongnu cavalry broke through the defense of Yunshan pass and lost the entire Liangzhou.
Not long after, even more shocking news arrived. The Azure Dragon martial arts Legion had been completely annihilated in Ji City. Other than General Qin Yuntian, the other saint cultivators had all died. Countless people were stunned. The new martial arts legion was very powerful. There were over 3000 people, all of whom were Xiantian realm cultivators. There were only four such armies in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
Moreover, the Azure Dragon martial arts legion was the most powerful one, but it was lost just like that. Up until now, no one knew how the Azure Dragon martial arts legion was completely annihilated. They only received scattered news that the Azure Dragon martial arts legion was destroyed very quickly and was besieged at Jishui City. It was said that the Tiger Leopard cavalry had appeared nearby. Normally, wherever The White Tiger Grand Sage went, the Tiger Leopard cavalry would follow.
Such news was a huge blow to the morale of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Qilin martial arts legion and the shadow martial arts legion had been sent to support the defense of these two passes. With no other choice, Empress Changning could only send her final martial arts legion to the battlefield. Just in case, Empress Changning also sent a few more half-step saint cultivators to strengthen the strength of the martial arts legion.
Unfortunately, not long after the Luo Wang martial arts legion set off, the news of the other two passes being broken also came in. She even lost contact with the Qilin martial arts legion and the shadow martial arts legion. This chilled the hearts of the Great Zhou Imperial Court. They were about to roar in anger. No matter how strong the Xiongnu cavalry was, they couldn't be this strong, right?
In the end, the Luo Wang martial arts legion retreated. The Great Zhou's defense line was also fully contracted. At the same time, the Xiongnu Tribe army split into three and charged forward like a hot knife through butter. The army in the middle charged straight for the capital of the Great Zhou. The Great Zhou is in danger!
When millions of Xiongnu cavalry were about to invade the South, this news could not be hidden, and it quickly spread throughout the Great Zhou. However, there was no panic. Instead, countless civilian martial artists actively joined the army. Even the seven major sects and the major aristocratic families were involved.
In the Library Pavilion. He Chuan continued to sit cross-legged and cultivate the Nine Revolution Divine Gold body technique he had just obtained. This defensive martial art had been cultivated to the limit of the sixth-rank, and could break through to seventh-rank at any time. His body had undergone a huge change along with the fluctuation of true essence. His entire body had become golden.
"Phew, is this the Nine Revolution Divine Gold? I didn't expect that on the foundation of the sixth transformation would actually give birth to a projection feature." He Chuan clicked his tongue in wonder.
The special projection feature was very simple. It could project a powerful nine golden body and fix it in one place, which could be maintained for a period of time.
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind. If this nine-transformation golden body was strong enough and could absorb the energy of heaven and earth, wouldn't it be able to exist forever? Maybe he would have to go through several cycles in the future.
"Phew, I've been in seclusion for a long time. I should go out and take a look. Maybe I'm already lucky and can sign in something good." He Chuan retracted his nine golden body's projection and stretched.
Because of his closed-door cultivation these few years, he had specially sealed the entire secret room in order not to be disturbed. No sound from the outside could enter. He Chuan suddenly frowned. Because he found that Cai Lian was walking around anxiously outside. What was happening?
He Chuan removed the seal and walked out of the quiet room. "Master, millions of Xiongnu Tribes have surrounded the capital of Zhou. The White Tiger Grand Sage is a saint cultivator. No one in the Great Zhou is his match. Even general Qin Yuntian is heavily injured and has been unconscious for a long time. Furthermore, in less than a day, The White Tiger Grand Sage is going to sacrifice eight hundred thousand citizens of the Great Zhou." Cai Lian said anxiously when she saw He Chuan finally appear. She was on the verge of tears. That's 800,000 people and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
"I've only been in closed-door cultivation for about a year, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has already become like this? That First Prince is that powerful?" He Chuan felt that he had miscalculated again.
"It's not the puppet King, but The White Tiger Grand Sage Meng Ao. I heard that he has already reached the mortal realm and no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty is his match." Cai Lian explained.
He Chuan suddenly thought, 'did that young man with the evil look on his face finally win the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty?'
He was rather curious that The White Tiger Grand Sage had reached the powerful mortal realm. Therefore, with a thought, he could vaguely sense a terrifying aura lurking outside the capital. Although this aura did not pose much of a threat to him, it was an irresistible force to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"He's indeed a saint cultivator, and he's much more powerful than that other realm godfiend." He Chuan could not help but exclaim in his heart. To be able to reach the extreme mortal realm in this world, it seems that The White Tiger Grand Sage Meng Ao also has some secrets. He touched his chin and a smile appeared on his face. Now it seemed like he had made a mistake back then and didn't notice anything special about this Meng Ao! But he didn't care. Things were still under control. He now felt that his decision to continue his closed-door cultivation was wise.
It was hard to say who would win if they were at the same level.
However, he was now in the sixth-rank mortal realm, so he was confident he could win!
