Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 70: Borrowing the Wind
Outside the Mihun Bay, military flags were waving and boats were crossing the river, ready for battle.

At this moment, on the largest warship, a military general in iron armor and an old Taoist in Taoist robes were silently gazing at the Mihun Bay. The military general was tall, with a square face, a dark complexion, and raised eyebrows that showed his heroic spirit.

The old Taoist had white hair and beard, and was holding a compass in his hand, muttering to himself as if he was sensing something.

At a certain moment, the compass needle turned, and the old Taoist's expression suddenly changed.

"Commander-in-Chief, the time has come. It's time to defeat the enemy."

With a respectful look, the old Taoist Fang Wen bowed to the general, Lu Chenzhou.

Hearing this, Lu Chenzhou's expression did not change at all, but his aura became more solemn.

"Master Fang Wen, you have worked hard. I will need your help to clear this fog."

Turning his gaze to Taoist Fang Wen, Lu Chenzhou's tone was very gentle.

Although this Taoist Fang Wen only had the perfect spiritual realm and had never practiced Qi, he was good at observing the wind and water, and his status in the River Governor's Office was not low.

"Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, I will raise a strong wind at noon to help our army dispel this fog."

Without any excuses, Fang Wen immediately went down to prepare with two Taoist boys. The environment of Mihun Bay itself was special, and with the existence of the Mist-Chasing Flag, it eventually formed a natural barrier. In the case of insufficient magic power of his own, the best way to break it was to borrow power from heaven and earth.

Looking at Fang Wen like this, Lu Chenzhou was quite satisfied. Although Fang Wen was a bit slick, he knew when to do things and never procrastinated when it came time to do them.

"The Dangjiang bandits, the Iron Butchers, are the Gao family's lackeys. The Gao family has become increasingly restless in recent years. It's just right to use the blood of these Dangjiang bandits to sober them up."

Turning his gaze towards Mihun Bay again, Lu Chenzhou's dark face was full of coldness.

Qingyuan County is not big, but not small either. The relationship between the Qi-cultivating forces in the county is quite complicated. Sometimes they band together, and sometimes they fight with each other. However, some recent actions of the Gao family have made the Lu family somewhat unhappy. It is precisely because of this that after receiving the request for help from the magistrate of Qinghe County, the Hedu Mansion directly turned its attention to the Dangjiang bandits.

"According to some intelligence we received, there seems to be some kind of change within the Dangjiang bandits. However, this is unimportant. Since the Gao family can't control their own dog and is letting it bite people indiscriminately, I will help them kill it."

With his true energy flowing, Lu Chenzhou was ready for battle. Just in case, he would take action himself this time.

Time passed silently in this way, and at three quarters after noon, the sun, which was originally high in the sky, was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and then a strong wind blew over the Qingyuan River.

With good preparation, Fang Wen and the three boys worked together with the help of the formation plate to take advantage of the situation and direct the strong wind into the Mihun Bay. In an instant, the wind raged and blew away the clouds and fog. The Mihun Bay, which had been shrouded in fog all year round, revealed its true appearance in front of everyone.

It is a shallow bay with clear water that is not too deep. There are a lot of sand and gravel deposited on the bottom of the water. Only a few crisscrossing ditches are relatively deep and can accommodate large ships. The source of these ditches is Muyu Island. From a distance, they look like chains locking Muyu Island, which is quite interesting.

"Commander-in-Chief, the terrain of this Mihun Bay is special. Although I have temporarily broken the fog with the power of heaven and earth, it will continue to recover over time. If someone controls it, the speed will be even faster."

With sweat all over his forehead, Fang Wen came to Lu Chenzhou with the help of a Taoist boy.

Hearing this and looking at Fang Wen like this, Lu Chenzhou nodded.

"Master, you have worked hard. Go and rest first. I will defeat the enemy as quickly as possible."

Knowing Fang Wen's intention, Lu Chenzhou decisively let him go to rest.

After Fang Wen boarded another ship, Lu Chenzhou gave the order to attack. As the war drums sounded, the real war began.

At the same time, above Muyu Island, Jiang Chen, wearing a feather robe and holding an invisible umbrella, took in all the changes.

"Borrowing the power of heaven and earth is really a good method, but it's a pity that I am not an iron butcher." With his thoughts turning, Jiang Chen took out the fog-chasing flag.

As the formless true energy continued to flow in, the fog-chasing flag began to grow rapidly, instantly growing from the size of a palm to the height of a person. At this moment, the cloud patterns embroidered on its light blue flag seemed to come alive, appearing ethereal.

Although blood-refined magic weapons are special and can be activated by warriors with the help of qi and blood, practitioners are still required to fully demonstrate their abilities.

"The fog is coming!"

With a solemn expression, Jiang Chen waved the fog-chasing flag.

At this moment, the clouds that were originally blown away by the strong wind like a pile of loose sand seemed to have a backbone and gathered again under the driving of Jiang Chen. The most intuitive manifestation was that the Muyu Island that was originally exposed was once again covered by fog, becoming shrouded in mist and difficult to see clearly.

Noticing this change, the expressions of the people in the Hedu Mansion changed slightly.

"This doesn't seem like something that Iron Man Butcher can do. Is it someone from the Gao family?"

His eyes were as sharp as a knife, looking into the depths of the clouds, Lu Chenzhou seemed to have seen something.

"The waves are rising."

The Jiang He Qi in his body surged wildly. Lu Chenzhou no longer hesitated and directly activated the spell, which was the Wave Walking Spell.

The river was surging with waves, and under Lu Chenzhou's control, the big ship he was on was moving forward quickly, heading straight for Muyu Island. His practice of the "Jiang He Yi Qi Jue" gave him a considerable advantage in fighting on the water.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen activated the skin-covering technique, put on the skin of the iron corpse, and put on the mask of the quicksand bandit.

At the same time, after receiving Jiang Chen's order, Wang Yuan and Shouhou also led the bandits to make preparations, and Shu Tianjiao was with them.

"almost."

Looking down from a high vantage point, Jiang Chen moved when he saw Lu Chenzhou approaching Muyu Island.

At this moment, a thin layer of mist had risen again on the water surface in Mihun Bay, and the ship where Lu Chenzhou was located was completely disconnected from most of the area behind him.

"Is it finally here?"

At the bow of the ship, Lu Chenzhou felt something and looked at the surging fog, then reached out and grabbed the surface of the river.

The next moment, the river water surged and turned into a long spear, which he threw out fiercely. In response, he received a strange force that was a mixture of coldness and heat.

Boom, the fist and the water gun collided, the thick fog exploded, and Jiang Chen's figure appeared in front of Lu Chenzhou.

"Is it really the Iron Man Slayer? Is his current appearance due to practicing that strange magic? Has he become a martial arts master? But what about the previous changes in the clouds and mist?"

Looking at Jiang Chen, who was covered in iron corpse skin and looked neither like a living person nor a dead person, Lu Chenzhou had many doubts in his mind.

As the leader of a group of water bandits, Tie Ren Tu was naturally registered in the River Governor's Office. The River Governor's Office had been collecting intelligence about him, so the news that Tie Ren Tu practiced iron armor techniques was no secret to Lu Chenzhou.

"I want to see who you are!"

The armor on his body glowed with spiritual light, and a ferocious aura naturally emanated from him. Holding a long spear, Lu Chenzhou rode the waves and rushed directly towards Jiang Chen. This was the Cold Crocodile Armor and the Wave-Chasing Spear, one for defense and one for offense, both of which were magical weapons.
