The Villain's Counterattack

Demon General Zhao Deyan VS Evil King Shi Zhixuan. Zhao Deyan was badly defeated and threw away the inheritance of the Demon Sect to survive. Then he suddenly urged his horse to attack the Tiangang Big Dipper Sword Formation from the outside. He faced the full force attack of Yang Guang and Yang Xiu, and was hit by a sword from Yang Gai and Yang Ying respectively before he escaped.

Martial Master Bi Xuan took the opportunity to burst out with all his strength, fighting with Yang Xuangan for three moves and breaking the Tiangang Big Dipper Sword Formation. However, he was unable to do anything to Yang Xuangan's Dugu Nine Swords for a while, and was unable to achieve any results. He could only escape, but was hit hard by Yang Yu and Yang Jun, and suffered serious injuries.

Yang Xuangan, Yang Guang, Yang Xiu and others were not in a hurry to catch up. Fighting with a grandmaster who was good at attacking for an hour also consumed a lot of their energy. Through this battle, everyone gained a lot, especially Yang Guang and Yang Xiu, who even saw hope of going further. After Yang Xuangan transformed into Dugu Qiubai to challenge the master of Yijian Fu Cailin, he once again transformed into Yang Xuyan to face the martial arts master Bi Xuan head-on and won the battle.

Although they joined forces with six masters to beat up Martial Master Bi Xuan, victory is victory. Even if Yang Guang was the one who planned the whole process, he was the strongest fighter among the seven people, and the gains were still great. Therefore, he was the one who gained the most, just like Yang Guang.

The God of War Art is so unreasonable. The more you fight, the braver you become. The greater the victory, the greater the improvement. The bottleneck of the grandmaster that restrained Yang Xuangan seemed to have cracked a little. It was not the subtle feeling brought by sitting above the Yalu River, but a real crack in the bottleneck.

"I used Master Yijian Shi Cailin as a stepping stone to be promoted to Grandmaster, and I also faced the independent Ning Daoqi and had a slight advantage over him. If I can defeat Martial Honored Bi Xuan, I will be able to make further progress." Shi Zhixuan ignored Zhao Deyan, took a step forward, and the whole person was like a flash of lightning and appeared in front of Martial Honored Bi Xuan in the blink of an eye.

Martial Master Bi Xuan was secretly furious, and thrust out the ninety-nine-jin Moon Wolf Spear in his hand like lightning. The combination of man and spear was unstoppable, and the surrounding space was scorching hot and boiling, locking him tightly.

A faint arc appeared at the corner of Shi Zhixuan's mouth, and he slapped out with both palms continuously. The whole person was erratic like a dream, and the scorching breath dissipated without a trace. The Moon Wolf Spear seemed to be pulled by an unknown force and showed signs of rebounding, which made Bi Xuan horrified. He dodged and moved sideways several steps before he regained control.

"What kind of martial arts is this?" Martial Master Bi Xuan's face turned pale, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable cold light, "This is definitely not the Immortal Seal!"

"Haha, do you know a lot about my martial arts? How can the Immortal Seal of the Grandmaster level and the Immortal Seal of the Grandmaster level be lump together? I wonder if Master Wu is satisfied with my Immortal Seal of the Grandmaster level?" Shi Zhixuan used his phantom body skills to the fullest, and the whole person appeared beside Bi Xuan again like a wisp of green smoke and a hazy phantom.

Bi Xuan was no ordinary man either. He was clearly well prepared. He wielded the Moon Wolf Spear with all his might, trying to defeat Shi Zhixuan with force. Zhao Deyan, who was standing next to him, saw that Xiaoyaozi (Yang Xuyan) showed no signs of taking action, so he rode his horse hurriedly over, ready to attack Shi Zhixuan from both sides with Bi Xuan, and then retreat calmly.

But he still didn't know enough about Shi Zhixuan. What he feared least was group battles. This was only the case before when he practiced the Immortal Seal. It was even more so after he practiced the Great Shift of the Universe and the Shift of the Stars. He was seen using all his strength to beat Bi Xuan and Zhao Deyan, forcing them to attack each other and be restricted in their actions.

On the other side, Yang Xuangan, Yang Guang, Yang Xiu and others responded briefly and surrounded them, causing Bi Xuan and Zhao Deyan to panic. They were then beaten by Shi Zhixuan and flew backwards, spitting blood.

With this force, the two men suddenly separated and fled into the distance, one on the left and the other on the right. Shi Zhixuan had no intention of pursuing them. He cast his gaze on Xiaoyaozi (Yang Xuyan), who pointed at Zhao Deyan and said, "This man is the leader of the Demonic Element Sect and a master at the peak of his powers. He's a good training ground for you two uncles. Please, father-in-law, take care of him. Leave Wu Zun Bi Xuan to us. Now is not the time to fight a life-and-death battle with the Turks. We will be careful not to harm him as much as possible."

However, it is necessary to make sure that Uncle Yang Xuangan gets the best possible improvement. How can the improvement brought by the siege of the Tiangang Big Dipper Sword Formation be comparable to the direct, rich and huge improvement brought by fighting alone? Yang Xuyan asked his four brothers to return to Liaodong, and he took Yang Xuangan with him to chase after Martial Master Bi Xuan. This trip took three full days, until they approached the heartland of the Turks, and Zhang Xuangan gradually stopped after he felt that all the benefits had been squeezed out.

Bi Xuan had thought about gathering his men to keep them. He already knew that this half-step grandmaster was not the young Liaodong County Duke Yang Xuyan, but a middle-aged man. Judging from his figure and appearance, he was somewhat similar to the Chu Duke Yang Xuangan who was rumored to have been killed by the Central Plains Buddhist sect.

Yang Xuyan finally did not take Bi Xuan's life. Although he was sure that he could kill him at the cost of minor injuries, he was not sure that he could kill Shibi Khan among thousands of troops. If he aroused the anger of all the Turks, it would be difficult for the Sui Dynasty, which was divided and extremely disunited at that time, to resist. At least he did not have the confidence to persuade Li Yuan to fight against the Turks instead of surrendering.

On the other hand, Zhao Deyan's situation was slightly better than Bi Xuan's. After all, although he was facing two top-level masters, they were two masters of the same level who were good at charging into battle but lacked experience in martial arts duels. He basically had the upper hand in a one-on-two fight, and could barely cope with it in a short period of time. If there was not a grandmaster-level evil king watching him closely, he would even want to try to counterattack.

Unlike the great master Bi Xuan, Zhao Deyan was completely powerless against Shi Zhixuan. Understanding that he was merely a sparring partner, he cooperated without rushing to fight, instead managing to recover and heal his injuries while fighting. However, Yang Guang and Yang Xiu were no ordinary warriors either. Gradually becoming familiar with his methods, they began to fight back. While they weren't strong enough in a one-on-one fight, their combined strength was formidable.

In the end, Zhao Deyan used a little trick to escape into a large Turkic tribe at the cost of serious injuries, thus ending his miserable seven-day sparring career. Shi Zhixuan did not want to take matters into his own hands, and took Yang Guang and Yang Xiu away, heading straight for the nearest Mayi instead of the more distant Zhuo County, thus preventing Zhao Deyan from leading his army to capture them.

Afterwards, he rushed back to Shibi Khan's tent as quickly as possible and immediately found Wu Zun Bi Xuan to discuss countermeasures. Both of them were intelligent people and felt that Yang Guang had a great intention in faking his death. However, Yang Guang's absence was also beneficial to them, so they were unwilling to expose it.

Yang Guang wanted to deal with the aristocratic families, ambitious people and Buddhism in the Central Plains, but they wanted to deal with the entire Sui Dynasty. Naturally, they would be happy to see them scheming against each other and engaging in internal friction. If the news that Yang Guang was still alive was announced at this time, it would be difficult for the Sui Dynasty to fall into chaos, which was not what they wanted to see.

The two were shocked by the strength of the powerful men exposed by Yang Guang's side. If it was just the Golden Wolf Army, they might not be the match, but even if they joined forces with Goguryeo's sword master Fu Cailin, they might not be able to succeed. It would be best to gather the strength of all the tribes on the grassland to attack Liaodong.

But, is this possible?

After some thought, Zhao Deyan finally reflected on why Yang Guang was forced to fake his death to escape, and came to the conclusion that the royal family of the Sui Dynasty was not in an advantageous position. He immediately thought about it and decided to actively cultivate traitors and use them to consume the Han people and counterattack the Sui Dynasty royal family.
