Chapter 258 Jiannan Dao Crisis
The distant Jiannan Road.

In the depths of the vast mountain, countless Nanman people headed towards Jinguan City under the leadership of the voodoo master.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them, and they have to seize it.

The Central Plains was in turmoil, and the southern barbarians finally had an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Most of the officers and soldiers of Jiannan Road will go to Chang'an King Qin to rescue him via the Shu Road.

In this way, Jiannan Road will be empty of troops.

If they can take Jinguan City in one go, the entire Jiannan Road will fall into their hands in the future.

Of course, the ambitions of the southern barbarians don't stop there.

Their real target is in the Central Plains.

A long time ago, the southern barbarians had a chance to win the Central Plains, but they were finally defeated by Meng Sheng.

This is not humiliating. You must know that Meng Sheng can be regarded as the most powerful existence among Confucian saints in the past.

In terms of realm and cultivation level, Meng Sheng is even more outstanding.

Even the current head of the academy may not have the combat power of Meng Sheng at his peak.

Since then, the southern barbarians have been devastated and had to retreat to the depths of the vast mountains.

linger on, linger on.

Although I know that the purpose of doing this is for the continuation of the ethnic group, I feel more or less uncomfortable in my heart.

But I have to endure the discomfort.

As long as there is enough time, there will be a moment to turn around.

Let them wait now.

"There should be [-] troops stationed in Jinguan City, should we attack the city with dead bodies?"

Manipulating dead bodies is the killer weapon of a voodoo master, but it is generally not used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary.

Because the use of manipulating the dead once is very expensive for the voodoo master, and it takes a long time to recover.

And if there are only [-] defenders in Jinguan City, it seems possible to win even without manipulating the dead.

"Let's use dead bodies."

The leader of the voodoo master thought carefully and evaluated and sighed.

Not many men survived in the Southern Man, and even fewer warriors.

So they must cherish every surviving fighter.

These fighters are the fire, which can give birth to more fighters.

Repeat this cycle.

"It's just that there don't seem to be enough dead bodies."

Although they were killed from the vast mountains, the southern barbarians did not encounter many officers and soldiers, and the number of officers and soldiers they killed recently was more than a thousand.

"If you don't have enough corpses, make as many corpses as possible. Do you want me to teach you even this?"

The leader of the voodoo master said coldly.

"Everyone in Dazhou deserves to die."

...

...

Jinguan City is now surrounded.

The defenders in the city looked at the vast number of walking corpses, their eyes were full of confusion.

Where should they go?
Arrows can penetrate the corpse, but the corpse can't feel pain, so it still keeps rushing towards the city.

This is much more difficult to deal with than a living person.

After all, living people are afraid, and fear is contagious.

If the death rate of an army exceeds one-tenth, the morale of the army will be scattered or even collapsed.

The army of the dead will not be affected at all.

"General He, what should we do now?"

"These guys can't be killed, and they can't be driven away. Can we really just sit here and wait for death?"

"Why don't we set fire to it? I heard that the dead are afraid of fire."

"Yes, let's set a fire and burn them all to ashes."

Since swords, guns and arrows cannot harm the army of the dead, fire attack is their last hope.

Although this method has not been proven to be really effective, but since the legend is so, there is a reason for it.

"Okay, then try fire attack!"

Now these trapped beast-like Da Zhou soldiers can only be dead horses as living horse doctors.

...

...

Facts have proved that the effect of fire attack is very good. Dead bodies are afraid of fire, and they are very afraid.

Although they no longer have self-awareness, their physical instincts still make them deliberately dodge.

The fire attack drove away the tide-like offensive of the corpse army, and the witches and Gu masters seemed helpless.

Although they can manipulate dead bodies, they cannot force dead bodies to act against their biological instincts.

For a while, there was a commotion in the group of witches and Gu masters.

"What should we do now? Should we continue to attack the city?"

"It seems that the summoned corpse has nothing to do with the fire attack."

"Could it be that we have to end in person?"

"Although we are not very afraid of fire attacks, we are afraid of swords and arrows. We are all flesh and blood. How can we withstand a knife and a blood hole?"

"Hush, don't make noise, listen to what the leader has to say."

The leader of the southern barbarian witches and Gu masters was the most stressed person at the moment, and everyone's eyes were on him.Everyone is waiting for his decision.

"Let's retreat first, and come back after I figure out a way to restrain the fire attack."

After thinking about it, he still didn't intend to risk the lives of his own people.

As for dead bodies, they can be recreated at any time, and they can make a comeback when this problem is solved.

"That's all there is to it so far."

Seeing that the leader of the witches and Gu masters said so, all the witches and Gu masters and the nobles of the Nanman had no choice but to obey.

...

...

"Retreat, barbarians retreat!"

The tide of corpses came and went quickly.

As soon as the witchcraft master's spell stopped, the corpse collapsed to the ground like ooze.

"It's not easy, it's really not easy. Our hard work has finally paid off."

A group of soldiers embraced excitedly.

"They have only temporarily retreated, and they may make a comeback at any time. We cannot take it lightly. But the soldiers can also take a rest and breathe a sigh of relief."

"Send another person to report to Chang'an. The imperial court must let His Majesty know the situation here as soon as possible."

Right now, the entire Jiannan Road is very weak. Not only Jinguancheng is facing a crisis, but the situation in the entire Jiannan Road is very dangerous.

Although Chang'an is also very difficult at the moment, the imperial court has the right to know about the form of Jiannan Road.

As for what the imperial court will do next, it is beyond the influence of the officials and generals of Jiannan Road.

Hope for good news.

...

...

Shu Road is difficult, and it is difficult to ascend to the sky.

Everyone in Shu knows this very well.

However, Lu Lin, the messenger responsible for the report, did not dare to delay in the slightest.

Because he knew that the sooner he arrived in Guanzhong and entered Chang'an, the soldiers of Jiannan Road would have a greater hope of survival.

Only relying on the current garrison of Jiannan Road and the tens of thousands of Jinguan City, it is only a matter of time before the city is lost.

Even if they can persist, what about the food problem.

The food stored in the city is always limited, and there is always a day when it will be eaten up.

What if the reinforcements don't come, the barbarians can't be driven away, and they run out of food?
Chen Lin couldn't imagine it.

Your Majesty will definitely send reinforcements, right?

Maybe the crisis in Chang'an has been resolved by the time he arrives in Chang'an?

It must be so!

After all, all the troops in the world are serving the king, and it is only a matter of time before the crisis in Chang'an is resolved.

"Hold on, brothers must hold on!"

...

...

With the deepening of the search by the bad guys, the living space of Jie Ligu and Nora was further compressed.

Their strongholds in Dongshi were eliminated one by one, and the number of meetings was forced to decrease.

Since the last time the high priest possessed and appeared, he has never appeared again.

Jie Ligu and Nala, who had not received the latest instructions, could only hide themselves as much as possible to ensure that their whereabouts would not be exposed before the northern barbarians and the Demon Sect attacked Chang'an City with all their strength.

They lurk in the East City, and the time they stay at each location does not exceed two hours.

In this way, even if the bad guys check one by one, they will eventually be one step slower.

"The idiots of bad people only know how to find out what to do, but they don't know that I keep changing my hiding place."

Nora hid in a wine shop run by a barbarian. Like a civet, she jumped over the high wall, and landed lightly in the yard.

The northern barbarians have a unique aura, and in order to cover up these auras, Nora likes to hide in places with strong odors.

Like a spice shop, like a wine shop...

As a practitioner, Nora can go without food for a long time.

Because it is very dangerous when it is convenient, if the excrement is not handled properly, it is likely to attract stalkers.

As a spy, she must keep her whereabouts untraceable.

Sneaking into the cellar of the wine shop, Nora could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

This is the place where wine is stored, and it is rarely visited on weekdays.

Although Nora likes to drink, she doesn't have any interest at the moment.

Firstly, she was very hungry, and secondly, drinking was a mistake.

At this moment, she must ensure that she is in a state of high sobriety.

Nora forced herself to suppress her instinct and sat cross-legged on the floor.

She closed her eyes and entered a meditative state to reduce energy consumption.

After about a stick of incense, Nora, who was in a state of meditation, suddenly heard footsteps.

She opened her eyes suddenly and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.

The footsteps were getting closer, and Nora's body tensed up, like a big cat preparing to hunt for a fatal blow.

It can't be a bad person, can it?
These guys really linger!
Nora thought to herself.

It has to be said that although the bad guys are one step slower every time, they can always catch up later.

Nora didn't dare to be careless, otherwise she might be attached to bad people and it would be difficult to get rid of her.

Quiet, so quiet.

It was so quiet that Nora could hear her own heartbeat clearly.

Squeak!

As the old wooden door was pushed open, Nora noticed a figure leaping in.

The opponent's speed was so fast that Nora couldn't see his figure clearly!

The other party is also a practitioner!
Nora judged in her heart.

This made her more vigilant, and she was in a fighting state.

She is a fourth-rank cultivator, and she also learned the Mozong Kungfu, so she will not be at a disadvantage when facing practitioners of the same level.Facing someone with a lower level than her, she can have an absolute advantage from the very beginning.

Whoosh!
Nora only felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and then a figure flashed in front of her eyes.

Then he slashed at her with a knife.

This knife technique is very domineering and unreasonable.

There are not so many tricks, just simple and rude.

"Splitting the road of life and death with one knife is the Canglang sword technique! You are from the academy!"

Nora recognized the opponent's way immediately, and then turned her fist into a knife to take the knife forcefully.

In terms of ruthlessness, Mozong did not lose to others at all.

Nora's punch was full of confidence.

It's just that she obviously underestimated the dominance of Canglang's saber technique, and she only felt a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth after receiving the knife forcefully.

Upon closer inspection, it cracked and oozes bright red blood!
hiss!
Unexpectedly, the strength of the opponent is so strong.

How did she know that Zhao Xun's comprehension of the Canglang Sword Technique was in this first form.

Zhao Xun poured almost all of his enlightenment into this formula.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

After three moves, Zhao Xun's saber intent will rapidly decay.

"how did you find me?"

Nora took a few steps back subconsciously, and said with a half smile.

"It's not easy to find you, your smell is so obvious."

"But I have tried my best to cover up the breath."

Nora frowned and said, "And I will change my hiding place every two hours. How did you find it?"

"Humans' sense of smell is very poor, but spirit beasts are different."

Zhao Xun smiled lightly: "What's more, I use the best of the spirit beasts, the White Flood Dragon that everyone agrees on."

Zhao Xun thought in his heart that Pippi Shrimp was really reliable, and it only took a few days to follow all the way and pull out the demon girl.

It is said that Bai Jiaolong's sense of smell is several times that of a spirit dog's, what he saw with his own eyes today is really impressive.

"So who do you represent? The Great Zhou court or the academy?"

From the very beginning, Nora noticed the strong arrogance emanating from Zhao Xun, but she was not sure that Zhao Xun was from the academy.

Because Zhao Xun was wearing a set of bad person clothes.

"Is this question critical?"

Zhao Xun frowned and said, "I said I was destroying you on behalf of the moon, so what can you do?"

"Destroy you on behalf of the moon? What does that mean?"

Nora was taken aback, completely bewildered.

Seeing that the other party couldn't catch the stalk, Zhao Xunwu laughed at himself in his heart: the traversers are indeed the loneliest, no one can understand your thoughts, no one can enter your world, no one can comprehend your soul.

"Anyway, you fell into my hands and couldn't escape."

Zhao Xun summed it up very coolly.

"Just you?"

The corners of Nora's mouth raised, and she asked disdainfully.

Although the opponent is a bad person, even though he is from the academy, his cultivation base and combat power are very average.

Nora judged that the other party's practice level should be between the fifth and sixth ranks, but she was actually the fourth rank.

The fourth and fifth ranks are a clear dividing line between high-level practitioners and ordinary practitioners. Although it is only one rank, it is like a difference between clouds and mud.

Not to mention that the other party may not even reach the fifth rank.

Although this person has a background in an academy, at this time when life and death are at stake, Nora will not show any sympathy.

"You talk too much. Have you ever heard a saying that the villain dies from talking too much?"

Zhao Xun smiled slightly and gave Nala a wise saying.

The reason why he is so confident is because he is in Chang'an City.

In Chang'an City, the strength of the members of the Demon Sect will be naturally reduced.

And the strength of the academy disciples will get a partial bonus.

Between this plus and minus, the impact is not insignificant.

At least Zhao Xun felt that the gap between them was very small.

And there is also the influence of the rune array.

No one knows how much power this demon sect demon girl can exert.

Maybe it won't be clear until after the fight.

"You have no chance of winning in my territory. I advise you to catch him earlier, so as not to be humiliated in vain."

Zhao Xun spread his hands.
