At dawn in the morning, a dense set of footsteps could be heard in the backyard of the mansion where Xu Jin and others lived. The sound was particularly clear at this time in the morning. Fortunately, next to the mansion where Xu Jin lived, the original residents had already escaped.

, there is no need to worry about affecting the other party’s rest.

Xu Jin stood in the center of the backyard, and the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers divided into four teams were running around him. During the run, the four teams were very neat and maintained a very strict formation.

Xu Jin, who was in the center of the crowd, began to move at this time. His figure ran to the right, surrounded by the four groups of Taoist soldiers around him. As he moved, the formation immediately changed, followed by

Xu Jin moved behind him, and at the same time they began to get closer to each other.

Xu Jin, who was running forward, suddenly stopped and quickly drew out the dagger from behind. Then, there was a sound of neat weapons being unsheathed, and the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers who were following him also drew out the sword in unison.

The short knife behind the back.

Starting from Xu Jin, everyone immediately performed the Blood Owl Technique. The daggers they held in their hands were all covered with a layer of blood-colored light. Then they raised the daggers in their hands and stood in place while maintaining this action.

.

I don’t know if it was because of the bloody dagger in his hand that Xu Jin’s face turned a little red. The dagger he raised high seemed to be as heavy as a stone. At this time, Xu Jin looked like he was holding the knife.

It was actually a bit difficult.

"kill!"

Suddenly, Xu Jin shouted angrily in a low voice, and suddenly swung the dagger in his hand forward.

Almost at the same moment, the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers behind him all swung out the daggers in their hands. In an instant, a piece of red light spread out to the surroundings. The red light disappeared in a flash, but this

In the blink of an eye, it had swept through a surrounding area of ​​more than ten meters.

"Phew, it worked!"

Xu Jin's breathing became slightly faster, and he looked at the ground in front of him while whispering in his mouth.

The red light swept across that moment, and clear knife marks were left on the ground around Xu Jin and others, with the marks reaching a length of more than 20 meters.

Looking at the traces on the ground around him, Xu Jin was very satisfied with the effect of the attack just now. After all, this was only his first time. Through the practice of the square formation, the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers' attacks exploded collectively.

Being able to have such power is somewhat unexpected.

Because it was his first success just now, Xu Jin was still not very proficient in operating the formation. In addition, due to his low cultivation level, the operation process was also difficult. When he becomes more familiar with the formation, Xu Jin is confident that the attack power he can unleash will still be high.

will be stronger than now.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Let's take a short rest. After breakfast, we will continue to practice the square formation!"

Putting the dagger in his hand back behind his back, Xu Jin turned around and said to the Blood Owl Taoist soldier who was also panting.

Hearing Xu Jin's words, a group of Blood Owl Taoist soldiers immediately dispersed and went to the side to rest. However, some of them still looked at the knife marks they had just made on the ground. If it were not for the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers,

If their emotions are relatively indifferent and they no longer have too many emotional fluctuations due to external events, they will definitely be very excited at the moment.

Just now, they saw the results of these days of hard training. What Xu Jin taught them was more powerful than they imagined.

Xu Jin walked to Zheng Hong and asked Zheng Hong, who was also looking at the knife marks.

"How is the situation on the other side of the city wall? Have you found any traces of Jingguo's army today?"

Zheng Hong, who was staring at the knife marks, turned around and said after hearing Xu Jin's words.

"Oh, it's the same as the previous few days. There is still no movement of Jingguo's army towards Xinze. However, there is new news today. It is said that Jingguo's army is already preparing to formally attack Ueno. No surprise.

If so, the war will officially begin today!"

Hearing Zheng Hong's words, Xu Jin nodded, thinking that it was almost time to start the battle on the Ueno side. In these days, there would be enough Jingguo's army to take over the occupied Zhuqiu, and then continue to advance.

As he was talking, Xu Jin suddenly heard a slight sound in his ears. He couldn't help but turn his head and look at the sky, because the sound came from high in the sky over there.

"That's the direction of Ueno, it seems the battle has begun!"

Xu Jin thought so in his heart, he now really wants to see the battle over there with his own eyes, and also wants to know what the outcome of this battle will be.

If, as Tian Yu expected, the Chen State's army in Ueno can temporarily resist the Jing State's army, then Xinze may have to face part of Jing State's forces next, but if Tian Yu's prediction is wrong

Well, Ueno was also defeated by Jing Guo in one battle, and then Xinze's defense would become very dangerous.

With this thought in mind, Xu Jin couldn't help but feel an extra sense of urgency. The danger was coming soon, but the practice of the square formation had not yet been truly completed. It was just the first time the formation was successfully run, and there is still more to do next.

Continuing to get familiar with and run in, time is very tight.

So, after all the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers had breakfast, Xu Jin immediately gathered them together and started practicing the formation again.

Throughout the morning, everyone barely rested for a moment, constantly familiarizing themselves with the formation. Xu Jin, the person in charge of the formation, was undoubtedly the hardest among them, because he was the core of maintaining the operation of the formation.

The square formation unified the power of all the blood owl Taoist soldiers and exploded with stronger attack power. All the pressure during the operation of the formation was borne by Xu Jin.

At noon, everyone stopped to rest. After a quick lunch, everyone took the time to restore the mana consumed in the body.

The non-stop training in the morning had almost exhausted all the mana in everyone's body, so besides eating at noon, everyone had to stop and rest.

After this morning's training, the backyard of the mansion they live in has been destroyed into a mess. If they continue to practice, the backyard wall will soon be destroyed.

However, Xu Jin didn't care about this trivial matter at all. He believed that Tian Yu wouldn't care about it either after he found out.

Today, there are not many ordinary people in Xinze City, and there are vacant rooms everywhere. Before Jingguo was defeated, these houses were not valuable.

"It's not over yet!"

Xu Jin listened to the sounds coming from the direction of Ueno. After a morning, he could still vaguely hear the sounds coming from there, which meant that the battle might not be over yet.

The fact that the two sides were able to fight for so long also showed that the Chen State army in Ueno might really have hope of temporarily blocking the Jing State army.

After the magic power in the blood owl Taoist soldiers recovered, Xu Jin led everyone to start training again. Zheng Hong watched from the side. He found that after a morning of training, everyone made obvious progress in the afternoon training.

He had been watching the formation for the past two days and had already noticed the extraordinary power of the formation. Especially this morning, he saw the true edge of the formation. But when the training started again in the afternoon, he realized that the power of the formation was far more than just

In this way, as the formations and positions of the blood owl Taoist soldiers changed, the formation actually showed other functions.

When the time came in the evening, everyone stopped to rest again. By this time, the sounds coming from the direction of Ueno had already stopped. When Xu Jin was thinking about the outcome of the battle over there, Tian Yu came to the mansion again.

Entering the mansion, when Tian Yu saw Xu Jin, the aura on Xu Jin's body had not yet completely calmed down. The murderous mood on his body made his whole person feel a bit fierce.

"Now the general of Xinze complained to me before, saying that the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers led by Xu Bingzhu did not participate in the city defense and were passive and fearful of fighting. I really should have brought him here today.

Take a look and let him know that Soldier Master Xu is constantly preparing for the upcoming battle!"

Looking at Xu Jin, who had a sharp breath and had obviously just finished practicing, Tian Yu spoke with admiration.

"Tian Shuyin is so complimentary. I have very little strength, so I can only take advantage of these few days to practice as hard as I can. When I get to the battlefield, it would be good to have a little more strength!" Xu Jin also replied with a smile.

After Tian Yu heard this, he didn't dwell on this topic, and then spoke again.

"The sound coming from Ueno today must have been heard by Soldier Master Xu!"

Xu Jin nodded after hearing this, and then heard Tian Yu continue to speak: "I just received the news that early this morning, the Jingguo army attacked Ueno. This time, our Chenguo army was more prepared and fought fiercely with the Jingguo army for half a day. In the end,

The Jingguo army retreated to Zhuqiu."

"Really blocked Jingguo's army!"

Hearing the news, Xu Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The development of the matter was indeed as Tian Yu had guessed before.

"The Jingguo army has been temporarily blocked and is expected to launch an attack on Ueno soon. After it is blocked again, the Jingguo army may target the cities around Ueno."

"In this way, firstly, we can bypass Ueno, and secondly, we can use the opportunity to attack the surrounding cities to induce Ueno to send troops, and then take the opportunity to attack. Our place in Xinze will bear the brunt. Next, we have to ask Soldier Master Xu to do more.

Well, it is best to patrol around Xinze at night to prevent the Jingguo thieves from suddenly launching an attack!"

After telling Xu Jin the result of today's battle in Ueno, Tian Yu immediately explained the reason why he came to Xu Jin. Obviously, as the battle in Ueno began, Tian Yu was already a little dissatisfied with the defensive situation in Xinze.

Don't worry.

"It should be so. Starting tonight, I will be patrolling around Xinze with my blood owl Taoist soldiers. I will definitely do my best to protect the safety of Xinze!" After hearing Tian Yu's words, Xu Jin did not hesitate.

The ground agreed.
Chapter completed!
