Chapter 214: Lu Yu’s Dilemma (4)
There was white fog all around.
Angry roars of the Leopard Cavalry officers and soldiers were heard in the distance.
Roaring or being angry, it's completely useless facing the emperor's axe.
One Leopard Rider after another was killed, and the strong smell of blood spread in all directions. After taking off their saddles, these killed Leopard Riders were thrown into the pack of wolves of the Wolf Riders.
The wolves, whose eyes had turned green from hunger, ate with relish, not even wasting the blood that dripped onto the gravel, and licked it all clean with their big tongues.
On the surrounding hills, large and small trees were chopped down. Among the Canglang Cavalry, the officers and soldiers at the Tuomai Realm held these tree trunks and branches, silently practicing the outer sect skills of the Great Vajra Temple. The Yuan Gang in their bodies was as violent as fire, which quickly evaporated the moisture from the tree trunks and branches.
Smoke that had disappeared for several days began to rise slowly. The army built a bonfire and began to barbecue.
Some Leopard Knights who had a deep affection for their mounts were crying, but more of them were just swallowing their saliva as they looked at the large pieces of horse meat on the campfire, and not many of them said anything.
We have been out of food for seven or eight days, and even the strongest man can't stand it.
These mounts are already starving to death... It would be better to fill my stomach with their flesh and blood before they die.
Some of the confidants of the slain Leopard Cavalry General in Golden Armor secretly colluded in the army, hoping to stir up the indignation of the soldiers, avenge their general, and show Lu Yu a little bit of his power.
But no one responded.
The Wolf Riders who were mixed in the army quickly and secretly picked up these trusted officers.
Lu Yu brought a team of trusted men to the edge of the white fog.
Although it is said to be an edge area, in fact, all that is in front of us is white, and it is still white fog that stretches as far as the eye can see.
The so-called edge is just standing within an invisible line. They will not be attacked. Once they take a step forward, strange attacks will immediately appear out of nowhere.
Lu Yu frowned, not knowing what to do.
The inner sect of the Great Vajra Temple, in the Furnace Realm and the Blazing Fire Realm, only focuses on tempering the flesh and external skills. The Vajra power cultivated in the Blazing Fire Realm is also used to temper the whole body, polishing the body into an indestructible Vajra bit by bit.
Lu Yu has completed the training of the heart furnace and is working on the secondary lung furnace.
His magic power was not weak among the true disciples of the inner sect of the Great Vajra Temple. However, the characteristics of the Great Vajra Temple's inheritance were there. He knew nothing about magical powers and secret techniques, especially legendary things like formations.
Even though Lu Yu was extremely talented, his physical strength had already surpassed the limit of the Great Vajra Temple's "Dragon-Tiger Vajra Body" at the furnace level. When he broke through the Fiery Realm, his physical strength reached the limit of nine oxen and two tigers.
After breaking through to the Fiery Realm and gaining extraordinary powers, Lu Yu's strength has now reached the level of nine oxen and two tigers and half a dragon.
On the battlefield, he could easily destroy cities and strongholds. When he was in Beijie City, he often charged into the battle alone wearing heavy armor, causing the restless nomadic tribes outside Beijie City to flow into a river of blood, and shocked the entire northern border with his own strength.
However, facing this white fog, he couldn't hit the enemy. What was the use of having such great strength?
Lu Yu was angry. He let out a low roar, and a Vajra Seal appeared between his eyebrows. Heat rose above his head, and condensed into a phantom of an Arhat with a giant dragon wrapped around his body. His fists were like battering rams, and he struck forward fiercely.
'boom'!
The white fog within a radius of a mile ahead shook violently and gradually became thinner.
But soon, a strange "hissing" sound was heard in the air , and thicker white fog gathered from all directions, gradually filling the gap blasted by Lu Yu.
"Sir." A trusted general, who was also Lu Yu's registered disciple in the Canglang Cavalry, gritted his teeth, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is the legendary formation ... We are all rough and unsophisticated and don't know anything about it!"
Lu Yu patted his head gently, pinched his fingers and began to calculate the distance.
"It's okay. A few days ago, Brother Ming must have noticed that we didn't rush to join him in time... Brother Ming is a vigilant and cautious man. His scouts must have been scattered along the way by now."
Looking at the overlapping hills and mountains around him, Lu Yu said with a gloomy face: "The terrain here is not right. We are no longer on the highway. I don't know where we have been moved to... It may take some effort for Brother Wu to find us, but he must have sent a message to Gaojing."
"It only took Senior Brother Shi'e and his men a few days to get here from Gaojing. If we send a message back to the gate of the Great Vajra Temple, with the magical powers of the gate, it will only take them half a month to get here."
"We can hold out for another ten days." Lu Yu said confidently, "In ten days, we have one million Leopard Cavalry as food, which is enough. In the next few days, when you kill the Leopard Cavalry, be careful to eliminate all the troublemakers among the generals."
Lu Yu smiled sinisterly: "Lu Jun, Lu Yi's three uncles and five cousins are just right for being placed in the Leopard Cavalry... Otherwise, what would it mean if I shared the credit for Anping Prefecture with them?"
The air was filled with the rich aroma of barbecue.
Lu Yu waved his hand and said, "Let's go eat some meat. I've been really hungry these past few days. Tsk, the techniques of the Great Vajra Temple are good in every way, except that they make us bigger and bigger, and our stomachs become bigger and bigger. Tsk, tsk, we can't go on a march or a war without food and grass."
In the white fog, Lu Yu and others sat around the campfire, about to have a big meal.
The white mist began to rotate slowly.
In the fog, raindrops were falling.
Soon, the rain put out the bonfire, soaking Lu Yu and others.
There is a gentle chill in the rain that constantly erodes people's bodies.
Lu Yu and the highly skilled Canglang Cavalry officers and soldiers could still bear it, but the Leopard Cavalry soldiers, whose skills were far inferior to theirs, were already shivering with cold, and even their mounts were lying on the ground wailing due to the cold.
Lu Yi was willing to distribute the Red Lotus Solid Pill to the Leopard Cavalry under his command, but what about Lu Yu... His family was wealthy and powerful. There were 800,000 officers and soldiers in his own Cang Lang Cavalry, and 800,000 Cang Wolves. How could he be willing to let these Leopard Cavalry share his training resources?
So, these Leopard Cavalry still look the same as they did when they set out.
Faced with this strange drizzle, the Wolf Cavalry were still able to hold on, but the Leopard Cavalry could no longer bear it.
Lu Yu looked gloomy as he looked at the Gray Wolf Knights who were frozen and unable to move. He shook his head helplessly: "Take off the horse skin and try to prop it up to protect them... This is a good thing. The strong will survive and the weak will die. Those who are left are all elites."
There was a fierce light flashing in Lu Yu's eyes.
There was one more thing he didn't say - if Lu Yi's reaction was a little slower and the rescue from the Great Vajra Temple had not arrived so quickly, these Leopard Knights who had frozen to death could also serve as food for the Canglang.
He is a bit cruel and ruthless, but on a battlefield, why would he care so much?
Benevolence, righteousness, and morality?
It's all bullshit!
Outside the white fog, Lu Yi, Qing You and the other two girls had already approached the hilly area within twenty miles.
They stopped on a small hill and looked with frowns at the area of two or three hundred miles in radius covered by white fog.
There was no sound coming from the white fog. It was as quiet as a dead place.
The sunlight sprinkled on the white mist, creating dark colorful rainbows. The wind blew through the white mist, and the white mist was like a sticky spider web that only moved slightly. There was no sign of being blown away. Instead, those dim rainbows swayed with the wind, and were very eye-catching.
"A formation?"
Qingyou took out the thick notes from his ancestors and read them carefully for a long time .
"I don't understand formations." Qingyou frowned and murmured, "My ancestors who traveled all over the world said that as long as one's cultivation is sufficient, any formation can be broken with one sword... If you can't break it, make friends with a few formation masters who are strong enough..."
"The Qinglin Sword Pavilion once had good relations with several formation families for generations, but over the years, those formation families have disappeared."
Closing the ancestor's handwritten note, Qing You shook her head at Lu Yi and said, "Sword cultivators are devoted to swords, and they know nothing about other miscellaneous studies."
Lu Yi frowned and looked at the white mist in front of him.
The inheritance of the Supreme Beiming Immortal Sect does include the inheritance of formations. The Beiming Immortal Sect is one of the few super sects in the ancient times of Jishengtian. It is the leader of the Taoist sect and the leader of the immortal sect.
The Beiming Immortal Sect's inheritance includes formations, elixirs, talismans, refining equipment, etc.
The problem is, Lu Fu was only focused on cultivating the Wuliang Guixu Body, so how could he have the time to deal with these miscellaneous studies?
At this moment, in his mind, Lu Yi hurriedly flipped through the formation inheritance of the Beiming Immortal Sect. He felt that countless strange calculation problems were coming like a tsunami, almost bursting his head.
The right time, the right place, all kinds of treasures for setting up the formation, and even the fate of the person setting up the formation, etc...
Lu Yi obtained a five-element Feng Shui formation from the Three-eyed God's Diagram. He finally gathered five masters together to set up this formation, which was indeed mysterious and infinite.
However, the formation techniques passed down by the Beiming Immortal Sect were extremely complex and cumbersome, and Lu Yi almost fainted for a moment.
It’s like asking a poor student who hasn’t even graduated from elementary school to calculate celestial mechanics... Lu Yi wanted to vomit blood and even more wanted to die.
After a dry cough, Lu Yi shook his head and said, "How about we draw our swords together and see if we can cut through this layer of fog?"
The grapefruit, lime and lemon all showed eager expressions at the same time.
They were all action-oriented and didn't talk much. With a sound of sword ringing from the sword bags on their waists, three green sword rainbows that were obviously much brighter than in the past few days flew up into the sky, circled, and then slashed heavily towards the fog ahead.
A sharp whistle was heard, and in the white mist, large pieces of ice crystals were wrapped in the cold wind and soared into the sky, heading towards the three green rainbows.
Loud "crackling" sounds were heard continuously, and countless palm-sized ice crystals like flying knives were smashed into pieces by the sword light. Three green rainbows shook their heads and tails and fell heavily.
With just one strike, the three small hills in front were left with deep sword marks by the sword light. The mist quietly dissipated, revealing a small altar and several tall and thin young men beside the altar. They were wearing black robes with various mountain, river, wind and thunder patterns embroidered with silver silk threads.
A young man shouted "Enemy attack" loudly, and a small triangular flag in his hand was waving. A strong wind blew up on the flat ground, and large pieces of rocks and trees from all directions rolled towards him. The rocks, flowers and plants swayed wildly, and the altar and the young men disappeared. Only a messy forest was left in their place.
