Outside Xinze City, Xu Jin held a short knife in his hand and stood in front of a stone half a man tall. The stone half a man tall in front of him had been split in half diagonally, and the fracture was as smooth as a mirror.

"Completing the visualization of artistic conception has really improved my strength a lot!"

Xu Jin looked at the cut stone in front of him, then looked down at the short knife in his hand, and thought in his heart.

This stone was cut open by him. It is not difficult for Xu Jin to do this. Even before completing the artistic conception visualization, he can do it easily. If he is displaying the Blood Owl Technique, then

It's easier.

However, when Xu Jin slashed open the stone in front of him with one knife, he did not use the Blood Owl Technique at all, and he did not even mobilize much of his own magic power. He mostly used his own attack with the killing artistic conception that he had comprehended.

, he easily split the half-human-high stone in front of him into two.

After glancing at the stone in front of him, and then thinking about the other objects he had just tested, Xu Jin inserted the short knife in his hand back behind his back. He had a rough idea of ​​how much his strength had improved after completing the artistic conception visualization.

Of course, in addition to the improvement in strength, Xu Jin has also taken a big step forward on the road of cultivation. Although he has not broken through to the realm of light, and his own magic power is still far from perfect, Xu Jin has

There was a vague feeling of seeing the road ahead. He seemed to have glimpsed the mystery of the Heguang realm. This gave Xu Jin a sense of confidence. Other Taoist soldiers could not achieve a breakthrough in the big realm through their own cultivation, but he seemed to have a chance.

of.

Just when Xu Jin was about to turn around and go back, suddenly, there was a faint sound in the sky.

After Zhong heard the sound, Xu Jin immediately looked in the direction of Ueno. Not surprisingly, the sound came from that direction.

"It seems that Ueno and Jingguo are at war again. The preparations made by Xinze must be put into use in a few days!"

There was only sound coming from the sky, and Xu Jin did not see the light of the collision of spells. From this, he judged that the place where the battle started should be over Ueno, so he thought in his heart.

Previously, Jingguo's side had already made a move to march towards Xinze again. Ueno's side quickly discussed a plan regarding Xinze's planning. The specific implementation method was actually not complicated. It was mainly done inadvertently.

In the meantime, let Jingguo seize an opportunity to attack Xinze, and also ensure that Jingguo sends as many people as possible. In this way, once the plan is successful, Jingguo can be severely damaged.

The first step of the plan is to try our best to hold back Jing Guo and not give Jing Guo a chance to attack Xinze for the time being. He deliberately acts like he is delaying Jing Guo, and then conveys a message to Jing Guo in a subtle way.

Chen Guo's court is preparing to send people to support Xinze and prepare for Jing Guo's attack, creating as much sense of urgency as possible to force them to firm up their determination to capture Xinze as soon as possible.

Things will be relatively simple after that. Give Jing Guo a suitable opportunity and let them send troops to Xinze. Then Xinze will be unable to resist and can only choose to escape. Once Jing Guo's army enters Xinze, the matter will be considered complete.

Now that there is movement in Ueno, the first step of the plan can be said to have begun. If everything goes well, within a few days at most, Jingguo's army will arrive at Xinze again.

Turning around and returning to Xinze City, he continued to take a good rest during the day. When night fell, Xu Jin led a part of the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers and began to patrol around Xinze City. Since the plan has already begun, it is time to

Be careful not to make any mistakes. Xinze must also show a posture of standing firm and waiting for help. Night patrols are indispensable.

In addition to patrolling at night, Xu Jin also plans to wait until dawn to lead the remaining ordinary soldiers in Xinze to slightly repair the collapsed city wall. Of course, there is definitely no way to repair this, so he will build a rough base first.

It seems that if it doesn't work, just pile up the collapsed city bricks, dig some trap trenches around the city wall, and then place the equipment to defend the city around it, at least to give the appearance of defending the city.

Xu Jin thought so, and he did the same thing after dawn. Under his command, the remaining ordinary soldiers in the city began to arrange themselves outside the city of Xinze. The originally dilapidated city of Xinze was busy.

After a day of rest, the city quickly returned to its normal appearance. Unfortunately, the repairs were only superficial and of little use during actual battles.

Xu Jin continued to lead people on patrol at night, and the sound of fighting came again from the direction of Ueno. Moreover, this time the fighting place was obviously much closer to them, and the light of the collision of spells was faintly visible in the night.

Looking at the flashing light on the horizon, Xu Jin guessed that this was probably because Jing Guo wanted to secretly send people to attack Xinze, but Ueno found out and stopped him.

The fighting lasted for a while and then stopped. Xu Jin patrolled the surrounding area until dawn and found no trace of Jingguo's army.

In the next two days, the sound of fighting would be heard from time to time in the direction of Ueno. Each time it did not last long, but each time the movement was louder.

At noon that day, Xu Jin was practicing in his room. A blood owl Taoist soldier came in and said that Tian Yu came to see him again. When Xu Jin heard this, he walked out of the room and saw Tian Yu in the yard.

As soon as he saw Tian Yu, Xu Jin noticed a slight smile on his face, as if he had something good in mind. Seeing this, Xu Jin couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. He walked forward and asked Tian Yu.

"Tian Shuyin seems to be in a good mood. Could it be that there is some good news from Ueno?"

"Haha, I am happy today mainly for two reasons. One is that Lord Ling Shou has made a breakthrough in cultivation, and the other is that there is indeed good news from Ueno!"

Hearing Xu Jin's words, Tian Yu smiled and replied.

"Sir Lingshou has made a breakthrough in cultivation. That is really gratifying. But I don't know what level Lingshou is now. What's the good news from Ueno?" Xu Jin had a look on his face after hearing these two pieces of news.

He also showed a smile and continued to ask Tian Yu.

Speaking of which, he really didn't know what realm Chen Zhe was. He had heard Tian Yu say before that the other party had achieved a breakthrough in a major realm this time. Xu Jin had a rough guess about his cultivation realm, but he was not sure.

"The news from Ueno is that just now, Lord Jingguo will forcefully injure six of our masters from the Nether Realm at the cost of seriously injuring himself, and most of the remaining Jingguo masters will also be injured at the expense.

After injuring many masters on our Chen Guo side, the masters in Ueno judged that Jing Guo should be preparing to create an opportunity on his own to capture Xinze!"

After Tian Yu heard Xu Jin's words, he opened his mouth to answer Xu Jin, but directly ignored Xu Jin's question to Chen Zhe.

After hearing Tian Yu's answer, Xu Jin did not dwell on the issue of Chen Zhe's cultivation level, but a thought flashed through his mind, "I'm afraid Chen Zhe's cultivation level has not broken through to the Jiming realm!"

This thought flashed through his mind, but Xu Jin followed Tian Yu's words and said, "In this case, Ueno doesn't have to deliberately give Jing Guo a chance. This is a good thing. At least Jing Guo discovered the problem.

The possibility will be even smaller, but we must be ready to deal with Jingguo's attack at any time!"

"Yes, the methods in the city have been prepared. In the past few days, I have arranged some superficial confusion methods to try my best to prevent Jingguo's army from becoming suspicious after entering the city. What you have done these days, Bingzhu Xu, is also

Yes, whether it’s repairing the city wall or setting up traps, it can make Jingguo’s army feel more at ease!”

Seeing that Xu Jin did not ask further questions about Chen Zhe's cultivation, Tian Yu complimented Xu Jin and then continued.

"Next, we have to work hard, Master Xu. In order for Jingguo's army to enter the city, we still need to have a slight resistance in Xinze. But now, some of the people in the city can withdraw first. When the time comes, our troops will

With so few major generals, it would be more reasonable for them to collapse at the first touch!"

Hearing Tian Yu talk about the topic of retreat, Xu Jin felt a lot more at ease. Most of the preparations that should be made were completed. He actually wanted to talk to Tian Yu these days about how to leave, but he didn't come.

Looking for himself, Xu Jin is also planning to discuss this issue with the other party tomorrow at the latest.

"I wonder what Tian Shuyin has to say about this?" Xu Jin asked.

"This is what I think. Half of the soldiers in Xinze City should be withdrawn first, mainly the wounded soldiers. Xu Bingzhu, the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers beside you can only withdraw one-third at most. After all, last time

The battle, those Jingguo Dao soldiers who retreated have seen that the blood owl Dao soldiers did not suffer much damage in the battle, so it is not appropriate to leave too much at this time."

"You and I, as well as Sir Ling Shou, including the injured General of Xinze, will all stay in Xinze and cannot leave until we have contact with Jing Guo. By then, Sir Ling Shou will have his own means to take us away safely, Xu

Don't worry, Commander, just obey the orders of Lord Lingshou!"

Tian Yu then told Xu Jin directly about his arrangements. After hearing this, Xu Jin nodded slightly.

This arrangement of the other party means that Tian Yu and the others really intend to take away everyone in the city and let some people leave first. They should also consider that the wounded soldiers have not recovered from their injuries and are slow to move, and they are worried that they will not be able to do anything by then.

Follow up and let some people leave first, so that Chen Zhe can relax while taking the remaining people away.

"In this case, I will arrange for people to leave first with some of the wounded soldiers!" Xu Jin said to Tian Yu.

"That's very good. Commander Xu will also comfort the people who stayed behind, so that everyone doesn't have to worry. Master Ling Shou will definitely be able to take everyone away safely. Maybe when we leave, we can also see the Jingguo traitors being prepared by us.
Chapter completed!
