Chapter 431: Arrogant and Confident, Offensive and Defensive (asking for monthly ticket)
Although Li Guanyi's sword was in the state of having killed the White Tiger Dharmakaya, its residual power was still strong. Moreover, at this critical moment, it could be said that he had developed his swordsmanship to the limit and it was impossible to avoid it.

Yuwen Lie's Dharma image was cut off and his spirit was weakened.

But in this instant, he suddenly raised his arm, without the slightest hesitation, without the slightest fear or retreat, threw away the broken gun in his hand, raised his right hand and tore forward, with his five fingers spread out, and his eyes as narrow as knives.

The wooden sword with the dragon pattern pierced directly into his palm.

Yuwen Lie's black weapon armor shattered directly. His hand armor and arm armor shattered under the power of the sword, followed by his palms and arms.

Yuwen Lie's arm directly exploded the blood mist.

But he did not flinch in fear. Even at this moment, he was still filled with burning arrogance. He stretched out his left hand, grabbed the broken gun, and at the cost of his own arm, he took the opportunity to strike Li Guanyi's chest and abdomen fiercely.

The White Tiger's image has disappeared, but Yuwen Lie's own aura is as strong as it was at the beginning.

Never give up the fight, always arrogant.

Even if I die in battle, I will never surrender.

The state of the Ninth Heaven's Grandmaster completely erupted with great force. Li Guanyi took this move head-on. Yuwen Lie gasped heavily, and the divine horse retreated. He held the broken spear in his left hand, raised the weapon and pointed it at Li Guanyi, and glanced at his left arm.

He was pierced through by the wooden sword Dragon Picture.

The tendons, bones and veins were all cut, blood was dripping, and the sword energy and military evil spirit were like maggots in the tarsal bones, constantly climbing into his body. Yuwen Lie said coldly:

"I fell into a trap by mistake. It took a formation leader, a big formation, a strategy, and a conspiracy to deliver this sword."

"Murong's Sword."

"That's all."

He really thought so.

Then he raised the broken gun in his hand and dropped it suddenly without hesitation, cutting off the arm that was now surrounded by sword energy and evil spirit, becoming a burden and even spreading to his dantian. Blood fell and stopped bleeding instantly.

Even if it means losing arms and losing the Dharma image.

Yuwen Lie is still Yuwen Lie. He raised the weapon in his hand and pointed it at Li Guanyi.

His armor was stained with blood, but his arrogance and indifference remained the same even now.

"Come."

"idiot!"

A loud shout rang out, and Yuwen Lie looked with his narrow eyes, only to see He Ruo spurting blood from the tiger's mouth. He had taken a blow from General Xue, but took advantage of this momentum and rushed towards this side.

The fierce general's eyes were like fire. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Yuwen Lie, blocking the way with the horse lance in his hand. Li Guan held a wooden sword with a dragon pattern in one hand and looked at the two warriors of the Ninth Heaven. He did not attack forcefully. Instead, he breathed in and out, and the Nine Li Divine Weapons of Gold and Iron turned into halberds again, and the Qilin roared.

Yuwen Lie said: "I will come here for today's battle..."

He Ruoqinhu clenched his fist and did not turn around, but just slapped backhand hard, slapping Yuwen Lie in the face. He was extremely angry, and Yuwen Lie's helmet was knocked off. This humiliation to the general was greater than the injury.

He Ruoqinhu said angrily: "Idiot, idiot!"

"The lives of the three armies and the fate of the country are all above you, a general. In such a matter, you still care about your so-called pride and dignity. Do you think that the comrades who accompanied you on the battlefield are not as arrogant as you?"

"Are you going to sacrifice the lives of your comrades to build your own fame?"

"Yuwen Lie, open your eyes and look at what these people who accompanied you to fight thousands of miles away look like now?!"

"Are you putting your own dignity above your comrades and your country?!"

"Who do you think you are!"

"The thief who stole the name!!"

He fought with Li Guanyi, a famous general of the Ninth Heaven, who was extremely brave and brave, and was completely ready to risk his life. Li Guanyi was at the Eighth Heaven level, and when he fought with He Ruoqinhu, he was obviously at a lower level, but with the support of the Nine Cauldrons and the military force, he did not give in at all.

Yuwen Lie looked around and saw the generals, captains, and soldiers of Ying State.

Because he stubbornly rejected He Ruoqinhu's reminder and went deep into the enemy's territory alone, he fell into a trap. He saw the soldiers of Ying State fall to the ground and be stabbed by spears, saw the soldiers of Ying State being trampled to death by war horses in the distance, and saw those soldiers who fought to the death and died together with the Qilin Army.

He Ruoqinhu struggled to take Li Guan's attacks one by one, and then he thrust out his lance with his backhand.

He fought against General Xue with his halberd.

The old general's hair and beard were standing up, there was a smell of blood in his mouth, and blood was gushing out of his wounds, but he suddenly roared, and his blood and energy surged. The soul of the battle formation suddenly changed from a white tiger to a giant bear, which raised its head and roared, and raised its claws and waved.

The chains of the formation that bound the souls of the 100,000-strong army began to collapse layer by layer.

On the battlefield, the gods are invincible.

Yuwen Lie only needs a few thousand people to surround and kill Changshengke.

The fact that the leader of the formation was able to control an army of 100,000 people in battle was already an admirable accomplishment, but the heroes of the world were never the kind who would surrender themselves without a fight. As He Ruo captured the tiger with all his might, the military spirits in the battle formation tore at the formation, and the constraints of the formation began to be broken free.

Suddenly, a spear was thrust out, and General Xue tried to fight back, but he heard a slight cracking sound, and the blessing of the formation leader had come to an end.

General Xue’s mechanical man began to break apart.

He Ruoqinhu grabbed Yuwen Lie and threw him backwards.

Yuwen Lie let out a breath and looked at the battlefield around him. It was as dark as ink, without a trace of light. The soldiers who fought under his banners fell in a pool of blood, rushing to a battlefield that had no meaning and strategic value.

He Ruoqinhu stood tall, his eyes wide open, looking at the mighty general Yuwen Lie, his eyes wide open, and shouted:

"escape!!!"

escape? !

Yuwen Lie was at a loss for a moment.

This one word, this great defeat, and the soldiers who died without dignity on the battlefield.

Finally, the arrogant dignity in Yuwen Lie's chest was crushed.

When he fell, the divine horse came running and carried Yuwen Lie on its back. He Ruoqinhu struggled to retreat from the front. At this moment, the Ying army in Jiangnan still had tens of thousands of troops ready to fight, which was not much less than the Qilin Army.

Although they underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, they did not end up in the same tragic situation as the Wolf King. One side of the generals wanted to evacuate at all costs. Unless Li Guanyi and the Qilin Army were willing to pay the price of tens of thousands of deaths, it would be difficult to keep all these people.

He Ruo captured the tiger and retreated to cover Yuwen Lie. His hair and beard were standing on end, and he was waving the lance in his hand, trying to rescue the generals and captains of Ying State who were caught in a fierce battle. He was a general who was able to fight against the Wolf King's army of hundreds of thousands with only 100,000 men.

He is already the best in the world.

Li Guan inserted his halberd into the ground, raised his hand and grabbed the Poyun Zhentian bow. The bow whistled and he pulled the bowstring. Strands of golden energy gathered and turned into an arrow, which locked onto the fierce He Ruo who was fighting to capture the tiger.

As soon as he loosened his fingers, the arrow spiraled out like a beam of light.

He Ruoqinhu seemed to have anticipated this, and he swept the halberd in his hand, forcing the surrounding Qilin soldiers to retreat. He was still on his mount, and turned around and chopped hard, and the Xuanbing-level horse lance was almost swung round and chopped down fiercely.

The arrow of the Po Yun Zhen Tian bow was shattered.

However, the characteristics of the magic weapon took effect. Although the light on the arrow dissipated, it changed its direction in an instant and pierced into He Ruoqinhu's waist and abdomen. He Ruoqinhu fought hard, but his moves were outdated and he could not fight back effectively. The layers of internal energy in his body were pierced by the arrow.

The arrow pierced He Ruoqinhu's abdomen fiercely, and the armor could not block it.

The arrow pierced into the flesh, and He Ruoqinhu felt pain and looked grim.

But he waved his hand and cut off the arrow, still as brave as at the beginning. The Ying army began to withdraw and avoid the battle. On the battlefield, annihilation was a top record for the general. It was normal that after a great victory, the enemy would be defeated.

He Ruo was still brave enough to capture the tiger, even if the formation restrained the military souls of the battle formation, but it was impossible for even a whale fisherman to use a battle formation that could forever restrain the military souls of nearly 100,000 troops.

If the Qilin Army wants to swallow this army by force, it will have to pay a price of at least 30,000 deaths.

General Xue touched the chin of the mechanical armor and said:

"Boy, do you want to chase me?"

Li Guanyi exhaled slowly, and the martial arts legend state was lifted. Even with his physical strength, he felt a sense of fatigue, and replied: "With an army of 100,000, we have to surround and kill two famous generals of the Ninth Heaven, even if one of them is seriously injured."

"With Jiangnan's military strength, it's impossible to do that."

"Rather, being able to defeat them is already a great achievement."

General Xue nodded, and seeing many armors and weapons thrown on the ground, he said, "Boy, don't be so polite. What are you going to do?"

General Xue was an experienced man. He could tell from Li Guanyi's reaction that he was not the type to let Yuwen Lie and the others leave easily. The general clenched his fist and felt that some of Zhang Ziyong's vitality was dissipating again.

General Xue only has the strength to fight one last time.

He said, "Don't chase after a desperate enemy, boy."

"I can't fight anymore."

Li Guanyi said: "Don't chase after a desperate enemy."

"There is one more thing to say."

"It is better to pursue the enemy with all your remaining courage."

"Don't seek fame by imitating the tyrant."

General Xue was stunned and asked in confusion: "Where did this come from? Why haven't I heard of this before?"

Li Guan remained calm: "Now you have heard it."

General Xue laughed.

"Okay, I want to see what you are going to do."

The Ying State army gradually withdrew, and the Qilin Army also breathed a sigh of relief - the Qilin Army in the Jiangnan area had never experienced such a large-scale battle. In this battle, they were directly confronting the Ying State army and the top ten generals in the world, and they won a great victory, which made them feel proud.

Li Guan raised the halberd in his hand, his internal energy surged, and the sound could be heard from far away.

"wind!"

The Qilin Army's generals and soldiers all raised their weapons and shouted:
"wind!"

"Gale!"

The voice was like a long wind, rising into the sky, with great momentum and morale. Li Guan took back his halberd and looked at the other generals who had gathered around him, but he did not say to withdraw the troops. He just said, "Rest for half an hour and let the troops gather together."

"Check everyone, and take those who are seriously injured back to recuperate."

"For those who still have the strength to fight, we need to distribute elixirs, replenish supplies, replace swords, replenish arrows and crossbow bolts, eat and replenish supplies, and recuperate."

The generals of the Qilin Army didn't know what Li Guanyi was going to do.

However, Li Guanyi's reputation in the entire Tiance Mansion's Qilin Army is extremely high, like the sun in the sky. Even if they don't know what Li Guanyi is going to do, they will have the thought among themselves that "the lord has his reasons for doing so."

Jiangnan is a prosperous place.

Before, Yan Daiqing was in charge here, and the people's livelihood and logistics were very good. At Li Guanyi's order, the logistics corps rushed over, checked the wounded, provided treatment, collected prisoners, and replaced the weapons whose blades had been broken in the fighting.

Replace all used arrows and crossbow bolts with new ones.

Then prepare enough food to restore your strength and replenish your consumption, but not so much that you are too full and affect your condition.

This is the nature of home-based warfare.

Logistics can catch up instantly and supplies are perfect.

Correspondingly, even a top-notch army, once stretched out its front line and fought inside the enemy's territory, would be in a huge negative state and would be constantly weakened. Going deep into the enemy's territory alone was always an extremely risky strategy. However, once successful, the benefits would be huge.

But if Li Guanyi hadn’t arrived in time.

If Li Guanyi had not obtained the Nine Li Divine Weapons of Gold and Iron in the southwest, if he had not had the leader of the formation, and if he had not finally recovered from the injuries left by Jiang Su, then Yuwen Lie and He Ruo's extremely risky strategy of capturing the tiger might not have failed.

This will buy enough time for the country's general situation and major plans.

The Qilin turned into a stream of light and returned to its normal state. Li Guanyi returned to the central army camp. Old Sima Ming looked at Li Guanyi with a complicated expression and felt that there was a subtle change in Li Guanyi's aura.

The Dharma image of Yuwen Lie's White Tiger Sect was broken and shattered.

Even if he recovers and recuperates later, and condenses his own Dharma image again, he will still be a White Tiger. He will no longer be the king of killing in troubled times, nor will he be a leader of the White Tiger Clan. Instead, he will slip into the same White Tiger state as Xue Daoyong.

The old black tortoise couldn't help but grin and murmured, "This was originally just a fake White Tiger Sect, but it destroyed the real White Tiger Sect, and now it is gathering the White Tiger Sect's energy that originally belonged to Yuwen Lie bit by bit."

"Who is the real White Tiger Sect?"

"Was it Yuwen Lie, or was it Li Guanyi from the beginning?"

Old Siming couldn't help laughing: "Old friend, what are you talking about?"

The black tortoise looked at the old Siming, who sighed slightly and said, "The White Tiger Sect is the fierce god that set off the fire of the chaotic world. Naturally, the winner is qualified to be the White Tiger Sect. Is it meaningful to be obsessed with true or false?"

The old black tortoise was speechless. Seeing the old Siming calm and composed, with the demeanor of a hermit who saw through everything, he couldn't help but feel unhappy. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Oh, oh, oh, is there any point?"

"Senior Nine-Colored Divine Deer, can you transform into..."

The old Sima Ming was furious and kicked the black turtle over.

The whale fisherman returned cursing.

"What kind of formation did Si Wei use? It was broken so quickly."

Old Siming rolled his eyes wildly: "You're almost there, Baimao only has an army of 100,000 top generals. If you can stop his army for a moment, you can leave your name in the inheritance of formations. You dragged it out for so long."

The whale fisherman sneered and looked at Murong Longtu:

"It's Si Wei's formation that's not good, not me."

"Next time I'll show you what a real formation is."

"Not bad?"

"You old man, you really dare to say that."

The old Sima Ming grinned, ignoring the whale fisherman who was annoyed because of just two words. Li Guanyi looked around and said, "The army will rest, I will go back to Tiance Mansion to deal with some things."

The whale fisherman went to help General Xue repair the ship.

Li Guanyi stood up and left.

Inside the capital of the Eighteen Prefectures of Jiangnan, in the Murong family, Murong Qiu Shui was playing the zither alone. The sound of the zither was so melodious that people who walked past the door of the Murong family could faintly hear it. These people knew that Murong Qiu Shui was the aunt of Qin Wuhou of Tiance Mansion, and the granddaughter of Murong Longtu.

Murong Qiu Shui is here and has not left, which naturally reassures everyone.

Murong Qiu Shui raised his eyes and looked at the sky from afar. The murderous aura of weapons was like black clouds rising into the sky. The murderous aura was surging, and the whistling sounds of swords could be heard even here on the battlefield in the courtyard, like endless thunder in the sky.

Suddenly, the sound of the long-lasting fight disappeared, and the murderous clouds representing the battle between the armies slowly dissipated. Murong Qiu Shui's piano music moved, and she looked at the clouds in the sky, and finally a trace of worry appeared on her face.

The dark clouds pressed down on the city, threatening to destroy it, but in an instant, the dark clouds dissipated, indicating that the outcome of the battlefield had been decided. She had just seen Qilin and knew that Li Guanyi had returned, but she didn't know the outcome.

But at this moment, people saw the blazing fire rising into the sky from afar and heard the sound of strong wind. The magnificent and heroic sound of the strong wind spread to the eighteen states in the south of the Yangtze River and dispelled the fear in people's hearts.

The people on the street, the students and teachers in the school, the men and women, old and young, at home, were all stunned, and then made a mixture of sobs and joy, which resounded like a wave.

Murong Qiu Shui heard the cheers outside. The woman who had been playing the piano for several hours every day for more than ten days finally stopped pressing the strings. In a trance, she stood up and went to the door to see what was going on.

However, he was so exhausted that he staggered when he stood up.

Murong Qiushui subconsciously reached out and held onto something beside her to steady herself. An arm reached out and supported Murong Qiushui steadily. Murong Qiushui was slightly startled and heard a smiling voice: "Aunt, you haven't seen me for a long time. There's no need to be so excited."

"I'm embarrassed."

Murong Qiu Shui's body trembled, and he turned around to look, only to see Li Guanyi standing there in a green shirt, his body stained with blood, his black hair tied up with a jade hairpin, a sword on his waist, and his brows completely opened.

There was a great chaos in the autumn of the eleventh year of the Tianqi reign.

After Li Guanyi settled the south of the Yangtze River, he immediately went to the Western Regions. It has been almost two years now. When he was a teenager, he grew up very fast. When Li Guanyi left, he was a heroic sixteen-year-old boy, and when he returned, he was almost nineteen years old, calm and stern.

Murong Qiu Shui raised Li Guanyi since he was a child, like a mother to him.

She had never been separated from Li Guanyi for such a long time. She looked at Li Guanyi for a while, wanting to say something, but in the end she just smiled and slapped Li Guanyi as she did in the past. She originally wanted to hit Li Guanyi on the forehead directly, but Li Guanyi had grown too tall.

He could only pat Li Guanyi's shoulder lightly and said with a joking smile:
"You have grown up and become braver, Qin Wu Hou."

"You even dare to make fun of your aunt."

"You're really asking for a fight."

She gently patted Li Guanyi's shoulder, as if the gap of the past two years did not exist. Li Guanyi reached out and wiped the fallen leaves off Murong Qiushui's shoulder, smiling and said, "Come back later and tell Auntie about what happened in the past two years."

"The Western Regions have beautiful scenery and delicious food, but there is no spring breeze from the south of the Yangtze River, and no aunt."

"So Jiangnan is my home."

Murong Qiushui chuckled: "Slippery tongue."

"Who taught you this?"

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "It comes from the bottom of my heart." There were hurried footsteps outside. Feng Xiao, Wen Lingjun, Xiao Zhi and others were already waiting outside. Li Guanyi stopped chatting with his aunt and stood up and walked forward.

Wen Lingjun and the others all bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

Li Guanyi nodded and said, "Bring the geomancy map and the battle report." Without any hesitation or waiting, another general from the Tiance Mansion brought out something. It was a set of general armor with Central Plains mountain patterns, a set of jade belt rings, and a Qilin battle robe specially made in Jiangnan.

He wore a helmet with a golden ring around his hair and combat boots with dark patterns on his feet.

The general was wearing armor, but Li Guanyi only took off his green robe, leaving only white clothes underneath. He first put on the fine ring armor, and then the heavy armor. The Nine Li divine weapons of gold and iron turned into inner armor and flowed.

Murong Qiu Shui took off Li Guanyi's jade hairpin and tied his hair herself.

At the same time, Xiao Zhi, Feng Xiao and Wen Ling all described the battle reports during this period.

Li Guanyi quickly inquired about the various battle lines and troop deployments.

He put on the breastplate, arm armor, shoulder armor, and finally the battle robe with civil and military sleeves. With cloud patterns under his feet, a kirin-shaped robe around his waist, and the scarlet battle robe fluttering, the blue-shirted swordsman just now had transformed into the mighty Qin Wuhou of Jiangnan in the blink of an eye.

Li Guan raised his hand, and the Nine Li Divine Weapon of gold and iron turned into a battle halberd.

However, he stopped using the golden ring to tie up his hair and put on the helmet. He just picked up the simple and ancient hairpin and tied up his hair himself. So, in addition to his bravery, he also had the air of a handsome general.

"Just this jade hairpin will do."

Li Guanyi held Murong Qiushui's hand and shook it gently, then smiled and said:

"Aunt, please wait here for a moment. I'm leaving first."

Wen Lingjun said softly: "My Lord, what do you want?"

Li Guanyi said, "You'll know later, my lord." He held his weapon and strode away, his battle robe fluttering like waves and his armor looking murderous. After half an hour, all units of the Qilin Army were resting, the wounded retreated, and the remaining ones were those who could fight, were good at fighting, and dared to fight.

Morale boosted!

It's like the state of pulling back your fist and accumulating strength during a fight.

Duke Wu of Qin rode on a Qilin to the battlefield and inspected the three armies.

He raised the halberd in his hand.

"The enemy invades our country and injures our comrades. If we allow them to come and go, what will happen to the blood of our comrades? How can we rest in peace?"

"I will be with you."

"I will be ahead of you. If you have a brave heart, you can step forward and fight alongside me."

The halberd in his hand pointed forward, his expression calm,

"Three armies, follow me."

Beside Li Guanyi, the spirit of the White Tiger Clan was stronger than ever before, engulfing the White Tiger luck after the collapse of Yuwen Lie's Dharma image, becoming more and more majestic and terrifying, with the murderous aura of a military strategist, and using this body to stir up a murderous god in the troubled times.

Li Guanyi said softly: "If the enemy can go, I can go too."

"Counterattack, Yingguo!"

Yuwen Lie and He Ruoqinhu gathered tens of thousands of remaining soldiers, but they were still a defeated army. Although a defeated army, they did not collapse. After marching for fifty miles, Qin Wuhou, who had finished his repairs, led a large army to catch up. They did not attack forcefully all the way, but just followed like a shadow.

When the army of Ying State slowly calmed down, he took advantage of the cover of night and personally attacked, leading the elite and powerful men to charge into the army of Ying State several times, and then retreated before the gods gathered.

He Ruoqinhu and others could not stop him.

So many times.

However, they only attacked the front, while the defense on both sides was extremely loose.

Gradually, some soldiers were defeated and fled from both sides, but the Qilin Army ignored them and let them leave. Then, like the collapse of sand dunes, more and more people fled. At first, there were only one or two people, and later there were hundreds of people fleeing together.

Such is the human heart.

As a result, even the army led by a famous general was defeated.

Under this huge pressure that is about to come down at any time.

The army of Ying State went from being a defeated army to a routed army.

Once the three armies were defeated, there was no way to turn the tide. Li Guanyi's military momentum and fighting style had begun to target people's hearts. He was majestic and had the air of a famous general.

In a strategic confrontation, one failure means a continuous disadvantage.

The defeated army retreated to the border of Ying State in a mess, but the Qilin Army held on tightly, and only provided support for more than ten miles in the rear, almost chasing these troops who took advantage of the situation to rush into Ying State. The border guards were unable to stop the Qilin Army, which took advantage of the situation to rush into Ying State with great momentum.

Two years ago, when hunting in Zhongzhou, the border town of Ying State that had blocked Li Guanyi for dozens of days was captured by the Qilin Army in just three days. On that side of the defense, the Qilin flag was flying high and Qin Wuhou rode on a Qilin, passing through the road in the center of the city.

The common people, the people of Ying, looked at the general in battle robes and with a look of the sun and sky, and were terrified by his majesty. Li Guanyi looked at the sky and said to himself:

"People, look down on me."

"Even though we are enemies, I have always regarded you as the elder heroes and looked upon me as a junior. Now I have returned."

"Jiang Wanxiang, are you ready to pay the price?"

"Now, offense and defense have changed."

The Ying army was defeated and turned into chaos, and the border defense was taken advantage of by the Qilin army.

The Qin Wuhou's soldiers were as sharp as swords.

Counterattack Ying State.
