Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 26 The Storm Opens

The night is as dark as ink and everything is quiet.

Xiao Ying sat cross-legged in silence, practicing on the highest floor of the Zhaixing Tower in Dugu Mansion.

Suddenly, the wind started to blow and the clouds began to surge, and the night became dark.

The already dim night became even darker, as if it was quickly engulfed and covered by shadows.

Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is filling the building.

A chilling and chilling aura spread throughout the night...

"coming……"

Opening his eyes, Xiao Ying looked coldly at the brightly lit and bustling Yuwen Mansion opposite. His mind began to get excited and his blood began to boil.

Shadows are threatening and coldness is pervasive.

This is a sign and phenomenon of a large number of troops approaching. Anyone with a little military talent can keenly perceive this change. The higher the military talent, the more sensitive it is!

"Crackling..."

Standing up, Xiao Ying's body expanded and contracted violently several times, his exposed veins moving like a python, and the dense and continuous sound of bones cracking echoed throughout the dark night.

After sitting in meditation for several hours, even with the assistance of the top-level star soul, Xiao Ying's cultivation level did not change, and it was still top-notch Dan Jin.

However, in just a few hours, Xiao Ying digested and became familiar with dozens of body-refining techniques, from the popular "Golden Bell Cover", "Iron Shirt", "Bear King Body", etc., to the world-renowned "Golden Body Tempered by Divine Fire", "Hundred Refinements of Diamond Body", to the recognized supreme weapon-refining and body-refining manual "Zhou Tian Refining Manual", etc., Xiao Ying comprehended, became familiar with and practiced them all. With the help of the power of the Star Soul, his attainments were not low, and at the very least he had achieved more than a small success.

Although Xiao Ying is still in the early stage of the fifth-grade Dan Jin, his strength has skyrocketed from more than two thousand pounds to ten thousand pounds. His strength is comparable to that of a third-grade extraordinary person in the Shattered Void Realm, and is definitely comparable to a true body refining genius or a person with natural supernatural powers.

However, the so-called innate supernatural power and body-refining genius are innate qualities. Xiao Ying's is acquired, relying on practicing many body-refining techniques and tempering his body countless times to forcibly cultivate it.

To put it simply, it is the difference between naturally hard ore and steel that has been tempered hundreds of times. It is hard to say which is stronger!

In this high-level martial arts world, the body cultivators, who were originally at the bottom of the ancient world, rose to prominence and are now the mainstream. After all, body cultivation does not require any qualifications, so they naturally account for the largest proportion, and generals on the battlefield basically cultivate their bodies!

Time is limited, so Xiao Ying focuses on and takes the lead in body training, in order to protect himself and conform to the mainstream, and also to exert the power of the possessed star soul, so as to prevent his body from being too weak to exert its power!

……

"Master! Intelligence has arrived, the rebellion has begun! We estimate that by the end of the day, a large army will arrive and surround the Dugu Mansion!"

When Xiao Ying was comprehending and experiencing the current changes, a reporting voice came from his mind. It was Qian He, the maid who had always been by his side.

As Empress Xiao's adopted brother and deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, Xiao Ying naturally had a retinue of maids, Qian He being one of them. Her surname was unknown, and she specialized in spiritual cultivation. At just eighteen, she had already reached the top-tier Golden Core stage of spiritual cultivation, demonstrating considerable talent.

During this period, Xiao Ying discovered Qian He's talent in spiritual cultivation and knew Qian He's loyalty, so he focused on training her, allowing her to choose any technique she wanted, and gave her the star soul of Du Ruhui, one of the four great gods, in the hope that she could grow as quickly as possible and become his assistant!

In just a few hours, with the help of the supreme manual of divine cultivation bestowed by Xiao Ying... the "Da Yan Xing Dian", the national treasure of the Xiao family of Daliang in the previous dynasty, and the possession of Du Ruhui's star soul, Qian He broke through to the peerless divine cultivation Yuanying realm. She was truly gifted!

After all, other people possessed by star souls do not have the blessings of star soul memories, qualifications, talents, etc., they only have external blessings and subtle influences!

"Ok!"

The deployment and instructions have all been finalized, so there is no need to elaborate. Xiao Ying only needs to be aware of changes in the situation and wait for the development of the battle!

……

End of Chou and beginning of Yin.

Dense figures are spread across the vast expanse as high as the walls of Dugu Mansion, with sharp crossbows and cold swords, ready to go!

According to the Dugu faction's plan, in the early and middle stages, they would only take advantage of the terrain and defend the area with all their might. After all, the enemy was too powerful, and a head-on confrontation with such a large force would be irrational. They would wait until the enemy's momentum was thwarted, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack!
"Tram, tramp, tramp..." The dense and heavy footsteps, mixed with the sound of iron hooves crushing, broke the silence of the night and made countless people tense.

The densely packed army, like a tide, surged towards the vast Dugu Mansion from all directions and surrounded it tightly.

What was even more shocking was that the murderous cloud condensed by the mighty army was like a dark cloud covering the sky, gradually approaching, and its pressure enveloped the Dugu Mansion, making countless people in the Dugu Mansion feel as if they were in a quagmire or at the bottom of the sea hundreds of feet away, their minds in confusion and almost suffocating!
This is the real reason why the army is king and the people do not fight against the officials.

Putting aside factors like military proficiency, military equipment, and battle formation coordination, this iron-blooded murderous aura alone can confuse the aura, suppress momentum, disrupt the mind, and preemptively weaken the target's combat effectiveness. How can one fight like this?!

"How do you think...the enemy will fight?"

Watching the situation change, Xiao Ying asked curiously and excitedly.

What was happening before his eyes was the first time that Xiao Ying witnessed a large-scale bloody battle. Although it was not a duel on the battlefield, it was also extraordinary and could help Xiao Ying get familiar with this world as quickly as possible!

"Either a massive army charge, or a celestial assassination...right?!"

Qian He, who was as cute and pure as a middle school beauty, had a bitter face and was thinking quickly. She responded with a stiff upper lip and made up her mind to read more books on military strategies in the future.

Although Qian He was a cultivator, he focused on affairs, followed by people's livelihood, economy, etc. He had limited knowledge of military strategies and was quite unfamiliar with them.

"That is, it's a matter of choosing between the human wave tactic and capturing the leader first..." Xiao Ying nodded in response, which also helped Qian He gain more experience!
"Boom...boom..."

As soon as the words fell, the wind and clouds suddenly changed and a shocking sound was heard. The iron-blooded murderous clouds in the sky that covered the night moon boiled over and turned into a sea of ​​blood that covered the sky, like a tsunami!

"Sea of ​​Blood... Mad Blade!"

The sea of ​​blood that covered the sky roared, and a huge blood-red sword that spanned the sky and cut through the air condensed and slashed straight towards a courtyard somewhere in the vast Dugu Mansion.

A unique skill that combines battlefield and personal strength, the power of one plus one is far greater than the power of two!

This is the power of a famous general!

"cracking……"

"The phoenix dances for nine days!"

The phoenix's cry was piercing, tearing apart the solemn silence of Jiangdu.

A blazing divine phoenix condensed and emerged, carrying sky-burning flames, and went straight to cut down the bloody knife!

Countless methods were unleashed, such as flashes of swords and sabers, strong winds and lightning, sharp arrows and palm prints, etc., to assist the Divine Phoenix in blocking the blood knife!

"Hypocrite! Do you dare to fight me in the sky?"

Amidst the divine phoenix's shrill cries, there were also resounding, resounding throughout half the city and echoing in the moonlight, with a resolute tone.

Showdown between heaven and man!

Xiao Ying narrowed his eyes slightly. This was indeed a bit unexpected.

I thought the rebel camp would simply rely on the large army to charge and kill to fully utilize their advantages.

I didn't expect the enemy to start with peak combat power. This was indeed a bit inconsistent with Xiao Ying's cognition and expectations!
"Hmph! Old bird... who gave you the courage?!"

"Come!!!"

With a disdainful snort, Blood Buddha Yuwen Dao appeared above Dugu Mansion with a dark red blood knife in his hand as if teleporting, overlooking the vast Dugu Mansion and spat with disdain.

Yuwen Dao earned his reputation and strength through bloody battles and fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. How could he be compared to the pampered and cowardly Dugu Patriarch?

One on one?!
Is this inflated or just a risk-taking?!
