Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning was assigned to the third team directly under the second team. Along with him, there were more than ten monks who had escaped from other columns.

Huang Yuan, the captain of the third team directly under him, is a man in his thirties, with early Nascent Soul cultivation.

Under his command, everyone returned to their positions and waited for orders.

………

In the gray fog that filled the sky, a small group of monks from Mubei's Third Army Corps were slowly moving around the Blood Infant.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound was faintly heard. Everyone stopped and looked around, but they saw a faint light coming from the smoke in the sky ahead.

"Be careful, it's Xuanmen's warship." Chisong's eyes narrowed and he shouted softly.

Before he finished speaking, there was only a loud bang, and dozens of artillery shells were fired from mid-air, falling to the side of everyone and exploding. Huge airflow clouds rose high in the sky, covering a radius of hundreds of miles.

The space was torn apart in the blink of an eye, and the huge black hole continued to spread. In a flash, everyone had already jumped out of the central area where the shell exploded.

The overwhelming waves from all around surged toward them. Everyone showed off their magical powers. Various rays of light burst out in the air, and the ripples in the space instantly subsided.

Wave after wave of cannonballs came, and a large area of ​​space was torn apart. Suddenly, a loud roar was heard, and a huge red wolf broke free from the vortex of the black hole. In a flash, it appeared in a circle. Near a heavenly spirit ship.

The huge red wolf claw was raised high, and a bloody ball condensed in the palm, slapping against the light curtain of the Tianling Ship.

It was like mountains colliding, like rivers colliding with each other. There was a roar and the Tianling Ship shook violently.

The moment the huge blood-colored ball touched the light screen, it turned into countless hair-like blood threads that intertwined with the runes on the light screen.

As soon as the rune touched the blood thread, the light suddenly shrank, trembled violently, and soon broke into pieces.

The light curtain shattered after a burst of distortion.

The giant wolf was about to take a picture when its entire body suddenly turned into a giant ice sculpture with a radius of a hundred miles. In an instant, it turned into a land of ice and snow, and the Tianling Ship was also frozen, and the huge ice sculpture hung upside down in the air.

In just an instant, the giant wolf broke through the ice and ignited black flames all over its body. In the blink of an eye, it covered a radius of hundreds of miles. The black flames mixed with the ice and snow, engulfing everything.

Just as the two were fighting, a colorful picture scroll slowly unfolded in the sky. The houses inside looked like fertile fields, mulberry and bamboo. The clothes of men and women were different from those of outsiders. Young and old were enjoying themselves, making it look like a paradise farmhouse and mountain village.

The scroll is colorful and bursts with light. As it slowly unfolds, the fertile fields, mulberry trees, and bamboos, and the men and women in the houses emerge one by one out of thin air.

The surrounding world suddenly changed, and the fireworks and ice and snow in the sky disappeared without a trace. The giant red wolf stood on the road in the mountain village with its feet on the loess. The surrounding houses looked like children, and children laughed and laughed freely.

In the gray fog that filled the sky, a fair-faced man clasped his hands together and muttered something. A colorful scroll ten feet in size in mid-air had been unfolded. Inside, men and women were farming and weaving, and children were laughing and running back and forth, lifelike.

The most eye-catching thing among them is a three-foot-long red wolf, standing inside the scroll, but its two blood-red eyes are staring straight at the man outside the scroll.

The man's curse stopped, and with a move in his hand, the scroll shot out and spread out in front of him.

I saw his left hand making a stroke on his right hand, using his hand as a pen to write quickly on the scroll. In just a few breaths, many strange characters were carved around the scroll.

The man made a seal with his hands, and the bloody symbols seemed to come alive. The dense symbols surged on the scroll and wrapped around the entire scroll.

With the surging distribution of characters, the light of the scroll gradually shrank, and soon completely lost its luster. The characters inside were still moving, but the color and luster were gone, like a faded ink painting.

With a flick of the man's hand, the scroll automatically rolled up. Just as he took the shrunken scroll with both hands and was about to put it away.

A sudden change occurred, but two rays of red and blood-like light were seen shooting through the scroll. The man was startled and flew back. He clasped his palms together and a green and blue disc appeared in front of him.

The blood-red light hit the disk without making any sound. After the disk trembled for a while, the blood-red light disappeared.

And that picture scroll has turned into dust and disappeared into ashes.

The giant red wolf's huge body appeared in mid-air in vain. With a roar, the surrounding area turned into a sea of ​​blood for hundreds of miles. The overwhelming sea of ​​blood surged and formed a huge whirlpool, swirling towards the man.

At this time, dozens of huge purple jade pillars appeared, condensing at the side of the giant wolf. The jade pillars shined brightly and were connected vertically and horizontally. Many densely packed characters were engraved on them, forming the shape of a pot lid, trapping the giant wolf in it. .

A tall and broad man flashed and appeared above the jade pillar. He pressed down with his hands, and a black hole about ten feet wide appeared.

The surrounding space is distorted at extremely high speeds visible to the naked eye. The black hole is like a bottomless whirlpool, and the overwhelming sea of ​​blood surges towards the black hole in a funnel shape like a dragon sucking water.

The purple jade pillar wrapping the body of the giant wolf twisted into a ball, gradually shrunk, and poured into the black hole along with the sea of ​​blood.

In just over ten breaths, the sea of ​​blood and the purple jade pillar disappeared without a trace. The tall and muscular man clasped his hands together, and the black hole gradually closed.

Two escaping lights came from not far away, one with a fair complexion and the other with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"One has been solved." The fair-faced man said.

As soon as he finished speaking, they saw the surrounding space rapidly expanding and the vomiting and uneven twisting. The expressions of the three people changed slightly when they saw this.

"It's really troublesome." The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes snorted coldly.

A huge wolf head shot out of the air, as if breaking through an invisible wall.

Ripples in the surrounding space surge like giant waves.

The giant wolf let out a long roar, and its huge body squeezed out of the space. At this moment, it was scarred, with many dents all over its body, as if it had suffered a heavy blow.

Before it could take a breath, several red stars in the sky connected in a line, as big as a bullfight, and slowly pressed down on it.

Many stars completely separated the entire heaven and earth. Wherever they passed, the space collapsed, and the giant wolf's entire body fell down unconsciously.

Pressed down by stars as big as bulls, the giant wolf's body shattered inch by inch, and the hair on its body fell off, leaving only a large skeleton of Nuo. It turned out to be just an empty shell.

When the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes saw this, his eyes condensed, and his figure stood motionless above the stars.

Below, the skeleton of the giant wolf collapsed inch by inch. Suddenly, the man suddenly looked back, and the huge body of the giant wolf behind him broke out from the invisible space.

A huge wolf head formed in the sky. It opened its mouth and bit down, enveloping a land of dozens of miles around, as if it wanted to swallow the world in one bite.

The rays of light from many stars bloomed, competing with the blood light, covering the area dozens of miles around.

Only crisp sounds were heard, cracks emerged in the air, and the space collapsed and shattered on a large scale under the squeeze of stars and blood.

………

In the entire gray foggy space thousands of miles around, Mubei demons and Xuanmen people fought together. In the sky, all kinds of incredible magical powers appeared, covering an area, making the sky dim and the ground dark, and the space collapsed.

On the warship, cannonballs were fired one after another, hitting the lone Mubei demon.

The diffuse gray fog surged into a ball under the influence of everyone's magical powers and the explosion of cannonballs, like a huge wave.

…

Tangning sat cross-legged on the deck of the warship and heard a loud rumbling. He opened his eyes and saw the warship burst into light, and many warships across the valley rose into the air and sailed forward.

Everyone on the deck looked at each other, not knowing why.

The warship passed through the light curtain and submerged into the gray fog in the sky. After a while, it went straight out of the gray fog, and the army of black and northern beasts in front covered the sky and blocked the sun.

Seeing the warship sailing out in the gray fog, the army of Mubei monster beasts suddenly came overwhelmingly.

Everyone on the warship was shocked. Isn't this a suicide? The opponent has nearly an entire legion of troops, while our own side only has one column of men, so it's completely like hitting a stone with an egg.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, Tang Ning cursed in her heart. She didn't know which bastard came up with this idea. He failed to maintain a good formation and just came out to attract firepower and seek death.

It was really bad luck that he couldn't go anywhere, so he escaped here and died with them.

Seeing the overwhelming army of monster beasts approaching, everyone on the deck looked a little panicked, but they were helpless.

The defensive shield on the warship has been opened, and a huge light curtain has enveloped the warship. Outsiders can't get in, and people inside can't get out.

The cabin door opened, and Li Xiaoyuan, Zhang Yu, Huang Yuan and others came out and walked to the crowd. The first man with a broad forehead and a broad face spoke.

"Don't worry, everyone. Our troops are dispatched this time just to disrupt the deployment of the Mubei demons. The main purpose is to harass, not to break through the encirclement. You can just obey the orders. If there are any unauthorized actions or escapes, the military law will not be blamed. ruthless."

The sound mixed with spiritual power spread across the deck and fell clearly into everyone's ears.

At this time, many warships were stationed, and the leading group of Mubei Demons was less than a hundred miles away. Suddenly, with a loud bang, cannonballs were fired from the warships. More than a thousand warships, and thousands of cannonballs were fired at once. It fell like rain.

The explosive power of the cannonballs tore apart the space and swallowed up many monsters.

The army of Mubei demon beasts marched forward one after another, facing the sky full of cannonballs, and soon they attacked the warship Zhouchai. Huang Yuan and others gave an order, and many monks on the warship flashed and left the warship deck to guard the surrounding area. .

Tang Ning cursed in her heart. These high-level officials of the legion were really overfed and looking for trouble. Instead of breaking out, recharging their energy and waiting for work, they came out to fight with these monsters for their lives. With just one word from them, I don't know how many people wanted to do it. Died violently.

He had no choice but to stay on the deck any longer, so he had no choice but to follow the crowd and rise up to protect the surroundings of the warship.

The warship's cannonballs were still being fired, flying over everyone's heads and hitting the army rushing toward Mubei. However, the demon beast team in the front team had already attacked the warship and fought with the monks guarding the surrounding area.

Lights of various colors intertwined in mid-air.

Tang Ning tried her best to stay behind the crowd to avoid being targeted by the monsters. Sometimes she would form seals with her hands and use techniques to secretly attack a monster that was fighting fiercely with others. If the attack failed, she would immediately retreat.

With his cultivation strength, it is not easy to save himself in such a chaotic situation. In addition to guarding against the attacks of monsters, he must also always be careful not to be affected by other people's magical powers.

As time went by, the warships and chariots of the Mubei Allied Forces were also surrounded from both sides. Artillery shells from both sides were fired, huge airflow clouds rose, the torn space became larger and larger, and the space ripples came in waves. .

A cannonball exploded in front, the space was distorted visible to the naked eye, and ripples came in rows.

Seeing this, Tang Ning ignored any orders and hurriedly fled back. Many Xuanmen warships also retreated into the gray mist behind them.

Many monks were in a mess, fearing that if they retreated too slowly, they would become the dead souls in the belly of the monster. Fortunately, they were not far from the gray fog, and after everyone retreated into it, the monster did not come.

Everyone returned to the warship one after another and sailed out of the gray fog with the team.

The two sides fought for only half an hour. As soon as the Mubei Allied Forces' warships and chariots surrounded them, Xuanmen retreated into the gray fog. Since the Mubei Allied Forces did not pursue them, there were not many casualties.

Tangning returned to the Tianling Ship, stood on the bow, and sighed in her heart. In fact, this tentative attack was meaningless. It was said to harass the demons and disrupt their attack pace, but it had little effect.

How could the Mubei Allied Forces, which was nearly a legion strong, stop because of Xuanmen's insignificant harassment? It was just a pity for the monks who were injured and killed in this battle. This was an unnecessary battle.

Having said that, there is not so much compassion and care about interests in war.

This is a real war, and the higher-ups of the legion don't care about the life or death of the few monks below.

As long as they can achieve their strategic goals, they will not hesitate to kill or injure more monks.

The fundamental goal of them dispatching the fifth column to attack was not to kill the enemy. The purpose of this attack was to warn more than the effect of strength. It was not so much to frighten the Mubei demon and disrupt the pace of its attack.

It was said that he was warning them that he might attack at any time, so that they could not be so unscrupulous and deploy their offensive strategies as they pleased.

As long as it can make them have some scruples and hinder their offensive pace, even if it only has a minimal effect, it will be worth it no matter how many monks are killed or injured.

For low-level monks like Tang Ning, such meaningless attacks always linger at the gate of hell, and naturally they feel dissatisfied. This is a conceptual gap that cannot be bridged due to the different positions of the lower-level monks and the higher-level monks.

…………

On the majestic thunder carriage, the commander of Mubei's third army, Yuan You, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the gray fog in front of him that blocked the sky and the sun, frowning slightly and saying nothing.

A ray of light shot out from a distance, and a burly man appeared. He bowed and saluted, "The Xuanmen team fled in a hurry and retreated into the restricted area. I would like to ask you, Sir, do you need to pursue us?"

"Don't chase after the bandits. Their purpose is to lure us into the formation. Give me my order and all the teams will move forward to surround the entire formation."

"Yes." The man responded and left.

"Friend Chisong, in your opinion, what should we do next? We can't stay in such a stalemate forever. This is exactly what they want to see."

"This formation cannot be broken by a large number of people. The more people there are, the easier it is to cause chaos. Just now, my fellow Taoists and I entered the formation and have found two positions. However, we were attacked by Xuanmen. Our formation was in chaos. We are also disturbed by the formation and cannot withdraw from the formation. Judging from the current situation, it will be difficult to break the formation in a short time, so we need to figure it out slowly."
