The Path of the Sage

Chapter 158: Breakout

Views:

In the eyes of everyone, this place is located behind a row of restaurants, but in Fang Yun's eyes, white dragon energy is circulating here, as if it is wrapped in white clouds, and it is full of murderous intent.

The more than 200 demon soldiers blocked the exit tightly, and there was dangerous white dragon energy on both sides. Only by attacking from the front would there be a chance to break through the blockade.

Fang Yun took a deep breath, slowly glanced at everyone, and slowly said: "The Dragon King originally wanted to launch a sneak attack during the Demon Suppression Conference, but because the Holy Ruins started early, the Dragon King launched a sneak attack from the sea in advance. If none of us can rush out to warn, we will all die when the Dragon King takes back the Xulou Pearl."

Everyone nodded slowly, and no one doubted Fang Yun's words.

"As long as we break through the obstruction of the two hundred demon soldiers, we can tear up the official seal and alert the Holy Temple. However, the demon leader will not give us a chance to break out. Once so many of us show up, they will definitely send more demon soldiers. Who of you has a way to break out now?"

No one responded.

"Since no one responds, I will tell you my method. I have a military book in my hand. It can disguise the two hundred of us as a dozen people, so that the demon tribe can't see the rest of us. This way, the enemy will be careless, and these ten people will also face great danger. But as long as these ten people rush to the front of the demon soldiers, the two hundred of us will show up together, and we can quickly break through the demon soldiers' blockade and rush out of the exit together. Now, we need to select a dozen people as bait."

Everyone was delighted and no longer doubted the other party's identity as a military transporter.

One person asked: "Can you turn those ten people into demon soldiers?"

"No, I can now turn the many into the few, the few into the many, and even turn one person into a demon soldier, but I can't turn two hundred people into a dozen, and then turn another dozen into demon soldiers. That's 'double stacking of military books', I don't have enough literary talent, so I can't use it."

Captain Shi said, "Fang Yun is indeed a descendant of the military strategist. A dozen soldiers are the positive ones, and the more than two hundred people who are covered by the military tactics are the negative ones. At this time, using the positive ones to cover up the negative ones is the kingly way. Otherwise, if we make a mistake, the monster tribe will be alert, and then send hundreds of monsters in. We will have no chance of winning. Now we will select a dozen people as bait and pretend to rush out. Also, select the thirty strongest boy soldiers as the vanguard. Once they rush to the monster soldiers, these thirty boy soldiers must fight their way out. Then attack the monster general, and let the others rush out of the exit to tear open the official seal and red document to rescue."

"It's up to the captains to decide. I'll prepare the military manual."

As Fang Yun spoke, he was thinking in his mind how to use a strategy to conceal his true intentions.

"This military book is not like war poetry. You can use it after you use up your talent. As long as you keep using the military book, your talent will continue to be consumed. This is the first time I use Concealment on more than 200 people. I don't know how long I can keep it up. I can't waste any talent before this."

Soon, the five captains selected fifteen people as bait. Although these fifteen people did not want to die, they all took the initiative to participate, with a sense of justice in their hearts. They were ready to die.

The remaining two hundred people did not have the slightest hope of luck. Except for a very few who were afraid, most people were prepared to die.

Fang Yun looked at these ordinary people, and his heart was filled with warmth. The saints and heroes may be the ones leading the trend, but it is the ordinary people who really drive the world. They are the cornerstone of this world.

In this battle, anyone could die. Fang Yun couldn't help but blurt out: "Confucius said to achieve benevolence, Mencius said to pursue righteousness. Only when one has fulfilled his righteousness, can one achieve benevolence."

These words are the first four lines of "Praise of the Belt" written by Wen Tianxiang, a great Confucian scholar in the Song Dynasty, before his death. Confucius said that patriots achieve benevolence through sacrifice, and Mencius said that one should exchange life for morality, but as long as the way of "righteousness" is carried out to the extreme, then naturally the highest realm of "benevolence" can also be achieved.

As soon as these sixteen words came out, Fang Yunru held the sacred power in his hands and spoke the divine law, and the tragic and heroic voice of the holy way spread in all directions.

These sixteen words are profound and meaningful. Many soldiers did not understand them at first. However, with the power of the Voice of Saint, everyone understood them. It means that everyone is now dying bravely. If they can break out of the blockade of the monsters, sound the alarm, and rescue tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yuhai Port, they will accomplish the greater good and be of great benevolence. Before they die, they will be no less than saints.

Every soldier's mind was infected by these sixteen words, and the fear, hesitation and negative emotions in their hearts were all washed away.

Almost all the students suddenly felt that a door had opened before their eyes, as if they had been enlightened. Everyone felt that if they could survive today, they would definitely pass the imperial examination next year and become a scholar, and might even pass the imperial examination in the future.

The two scholar captains were the most excited because they both felt that they would definitely pass the imperial examination within three years.

They looked at Fang Yun with gratitude. This was almost the legendary "thunderous holy sound" and "manifestation of divine enlightenment". If it were not a critical moment, they would have to kneel down and worship Fang Yun as their mentor.

Those monsters had no sense of it at all, but this place was near the sea, and the sound of the Holy Way spread into the sea and finally reached the main gate of the Dragon Palace.

The golden main gate of the Dragon Palace was a thousand feet high, but at this moment it suddenly rose a foot higher, and the gate was shining with divine light.

Many fish within a hundred miles swam here like crazy, risking their lives to jump towards the Dragon Gate.

In the Dragon Palace, a woman in palace dress let out a light exclamation and turned her head to look in the direction of Yuhai City. There were two small white jade dragon horns on its forehead.

Also looking towards Yuhai City were all the demon kings and great demon kings of the pure-blooded dragon clan in the Dragon Palace.

However, a cold snort came from the depths of the Dragon Palace, and the gazes of all the demon kings and great demon kings were blocked by an invisible force. Only the woman in palace dress could see through the sea and see what was happening outside the Yuhai Port.

In the Li Mansion in Yuhai City, Li Wenying slowly opened his eyes and slowly sat up from the bed.

Inside the mirage, after the two scholar captains finished reciting the inspiring poem "Ode to Xingtian" and the protective poem "My Brother in Robe", Fang Yun looked at the soldiers' determined eyes and said, "Everyone, let's go!"

After saying that, Fang Yun stretched out his hand, and the military book "Thirty-Six Strategies" appeared in his hand. He injected his talent into it, and saw the book automatically turn the pages. The words "The First Strategy is to Conceal the Sky and the Sea" flew out in a line. Each word was surrounded by the light of the Holy Way of Wisdom. After absorbing a large amount of the vitality of heaven and earth, it turned into a white light that enveloped everyone.

Except for the fifteen people who were chosen, the other two hundred people no longer existed in the eyes of others. All their images and voices were covered up by the power of "hiding the truth from the world".

Fang Yun was among them, and those who had been secretly changed all had a faint white light emanating from them.

Except for a few people who had seen the effect of military books and remained calm, most people were very surprised, and then suppressed their surprise in their hearts.

Fang Yun felt that the talent in his body was rapidly fading away, and said, "Hurry up. I can't hold on for much longer!"

"Kill!" Captain Shi shouted in a low voice.

More than ten people who showed up were in the front, and more than two hundred people who were hidden by a deceptive plan were behind. They moved forward together according to Fang Yun's instructions.

At this moment Fang Yun was surrounded by a crowd, and everyone didn't want him to get hurt.

Passing the restaurant formed by dragon energy, everyone saw a city gate, and at the gate stood more than two hundred river monsters. Behind the more than two hundred monster soldiers, three monster generals were watching covetously.

The dozen soldiers pretended to be horrified when they saw the fish monster, some of them even couldn't hold their weapons, but then they gritted their teeth and rushed forward.

“Let us out!”

"Let us go!"

"Kill all the demons!"

Fifteen people rushed towards more than two hundred monsters. It seemed very tragic and heroic to the human side, but extremely ridiculous to the monsters. The monster soldiers laughed at them, but these monster soldiers were well-trained. Although they laughed, they still held their weapons and waited for these people to rush over.

Among these demon soldiers, there was a team of fish demons that could spray fish bones, but there were only a dozen of them. They just held the fish bones in their mouths and did not spray them out. The three demon generals had just killed two teams of people, consuming a lot of energy and blood, and were not prepared to intervene.

Fifteen people quickly rushed to the opposite side of the fish monster. The fish monster in front immediately raised his weapon, while the fish monster behind held his weapon in hand and prepared to watch the fun.

Suddenly, more than fifty sharp arrows flew out of nowhere, all shooting at the fish monster's vulnerable parts. The fish monsters with bone spurs in their mouths suffered the most serious blow and all died.

At the same time, more than seventy spears stabbed out of thin air. All the fish monsters in the front row were stabbed through the heart, and even some of the fish monsters in the second row were seriously injured.

Amid the wailing sounds, the demon's blood splattered.

The fish monsters were frightened by this strange scene, and only three monster generals reacted. They shouted for help outside while using magic.

Then, strong men with shields in their left hands and knives in their right hands suddenly jumped out, and their sharp long knives stabbed into the fish monster team like the sharp teeth of a monster.

Dozens of fish monsters’ heads flew up, and corpses fell to the ground in large numbers.

More than half of the fish monsters died within just a few breaths. The fish monster team collapsed instantly and retreated step by step.

The three demon generals remained calm. They used magic together and three torrents of magic attacked the invisible team.

Fang Yun used up a huge amount of his talent without hesitation, and the energy contained in Concealing the Sky and the Sea immediately exploded outwards and collided with the flood.

The magic flood spread all over the sky without hurting anyone. The plan to conceal the truth was broken, revealing all the human soldiers.

The fifty strongest veteran soldiers either held knives or spears, like tigers out of a cage. Some of them attacked the demon general, while others cleared the way for Fang Yun and the people behind them, allowing them to escape first and tear up the official seal and red document.

Each demon general was surrounded by ten veteran soldiers. Veterans were constantly injured, but the demon generals found it difficult to break through the blockade of these veteran soldiers in a short period of time.

There were only two scholar captains in the five teams. The two scholars had already finished writing "Yishui Song". The two ghostly smoke assassins ignored the demon generals and killed the demon soldiers who blocked their way. The two scholars practiced this war poem almost every day. The smoke assassins were more powerful than many scholars.

Without the obstruction of the demon general, nearly a hundred soldiers pierced through the demon soldiers' ranks like spears and rushed out of the exit.

While rushing out of the exit, more than a dozen people took out the official seal and red document from their arms and tore them apart together to warn the holy temple and officials.

Fang Yun was also among these people and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The two energies in his body were originally over nine inches long, but now one of them was exhausted and the other only had one and a half inches left.

"I can use the remaining talent to write a strong bow poem, 'Capturing the King.'" Fang Yun took out the demon-killing pen he carried with him, because Li Wenying's followers had told him to always carry it with him, but he found out that he was just an ordinary soldier and was not wearing a plain coat.

At the same time, an angry roar suddenly came from the sea not far away.
