Chapter 290: The First Battle between Yanhuang and Jiuli

But Xuanyuan was a human being after all. As the leader of the human race, he knew how precious life was. He was unwilling to fight again unless it was necessary. Facing the tight pressure from the Jiuli tribe, the Yanhuang tribe mostly gave in and only fought back when they had no choice, letting them know the pain, but they did not do anything too extreme, leaving a glimmer of hope.

However, Xuanyuan's kindness did not make the Jiuli tribe grateful. On the contrary, they thought that Xuanyuan was weak and could be bullied, and was not worthy of being the leader of the human race or leading them, and their arrogance became even more arrogant.

Chi You even forced other tribes to submit to Jiuli, and fought with those who refused to obey. Countless people were killed and injured, and blood flowed for thousands of miles. Xuanyuan immediately became unable to sit still, and issued nine imperial edicts in a row, questioning what Chi You was doing.

But after Chi You received the nine edicts, he did not take them seriously at all. Instead, he tore them up and laughed at them in public: "How can you, an incompetent person, know the great plan in my heart? Wait until tomorrow, the leader of the human race will be Chi You."

Faced with such provocation from Chiyou, if Xuanyuan continued to choose to tolerate, he would no longer be merciful, but weak, and would only attract more jackals, tigers and leopards to covet his position as the common leader of the human race.

There was no need to endure it any longer. Xuanyuan immediately mobilized his troops and marched towards the Jiuli tribe in a mighty force.

But Xuanyuan still had a trace of kindness in his heart. He led the army to the outside of the Jiuli tribe, and did not choose to charge at the first time. Instead, he sent envoys to ask the Jiuli tribe to hand over the murderers who massacred other tribes, and to make appropriate compensation. He would step in and be able to turn hostility into friendship.

However, the Yanhuang envoy did not even enter the gate of the Jiuli tribe before he was chopped in half by a sword by the soldier guarding the gate. The soldier also deliberately carried his body back to the Yanhuang army, which clearly showed that he did not take the Yanhuang tribe seriously, which immediately caused great indignation.

Countless soldiers requested Xuanyuan to immediately and completely massacre the Jiuli tribe in order to demonstrate its inviolable dignity.

Xuanyuan looked at the Jiuli tribe in the distance, sighed, and then completely destroyed the kindness in his heart. He waved the battle flag in his hand and shouted loudly: "Attack immediately!"

The soldiers, like a tide, received the order and immediately rode on their horses, holding stone spears or bone axes, and rushed towards the Jiuli tribe.

However, the Yanhuang tribe was in the north, while the Jiuli tribe was in the south. Even with the addition of the Lieshan tribe, the soldiers of the Yanhuang tribe could not adapt to the humid and hot climate in the south, not to mention that the south was mountainous, with many miasma and swamps in the mountains. The Jiuli tribe was located in a large area of ​​swamps and miasma.

This doesn't seem like a big deal from a distance, and one can be careful as long as they walk carefully. But it's not until you ride in on a warhorse that you realize how dangerous it is here.

"What's this!"

"Why is the earth moving?!"

"Help, I can't get my foot out, it's too sticky!"

"Damn it, I was sucked in and I can't move at all, come and save me!"

Hundreds of soldiers had just rushed into a forest when the horses under their crotch began to whine and then began to sink. The soldiers on horseback looked at this scene in disbelief. After their leader roared, they jumped off their horses in panic as if awakened from a dream, intending to be the first to leave the danger zone.

They are not afraid of death, and would not dare to serve as soldiers if they were afraid of death. However, such a miserable death really makes them accept their incompetence.

But as soon as these soldiers touched the ground, they began to sink like the war horses. As these soldiers waved their hands around, they swept away the leaves that lightly covered the ground, revealing the true face of the real culprit behind them.

"This is a swamp!" A soldier who knew something about the South looked at it for a moment and shouted, "Everyone, don't struggle. The more you move in the swamp, the faster you will sink. Try to keep your hands above the water surface and see if you can pull yourself out with something like a tree branch."

But being trapped in the swamp and watching themselves slowly being swallowed by the mud and water, the fear of death has already frightened many soldiers.

They could not hear what the soldier said at all. They only followed their instincts, waving their arms like drowning people, calling for help frantically, trying to grab a life-saving straw.

But the faster they struggled, the faster they were swallowed up. In just a moment, nearly a hundred soldiers were swallowed up alive by the swamp. They could only make desperate gurgling sounds before dying and then completely disappeared.

Some soldiers listened to the advice of the soldier who knew a little bit, chose to calm their fear, and tried their best to hold on. Sure enough, they found that they were no longer sinking, but the direction of their attack: the Jiuli tribe, would not let them be so happy.

Just then they heard some strange laughs coming from the tree. Some soldiers were smart and looked up immediately. They saw several Jiuli people with oil paint on their bodies and bows and arrows standing on the tree branches, with a half-smile on their faces.

Seeing that these soldiers had discovered them, they immediately raised their bows and arrows. A few flashes of silver light appeared and immediately took the lives of some soldiers.

Some soldiers were very brave. They knew that they would die if they were stuck in the swamp and fighting against the Jiuli people. They immediately struggled in the swamp, barely freed one hand, picked up several bone spears nearby, and threw them towards the trees, trying to drag a few people from the Jiuli tribe into the water.

But the people of the Jiuli tribe have lived here for who knows how many years, and they know everything here very well. They can even tell which tree branch is harder and where they can avoid attacks. What's more, they are sure of winning, so they won't be stupid enough to fight them to death.

They immediately put away their bows and arrows and ran around the trees grinningly. The bone spears didn't even pierce their clothes.

Unfortunately, the bone spears thrown by these brave soldiers did not hit even a single member of the Jiuli tribe. Instead, because of their own struggles, they were immediately swallowed up by the swamp and died completely.

Xuanyuan was a celestial being, and these ordinary swamps and miasma could not block his sight, so he could naturally see the miserable state of his soldiers.

"How should we fight this? I am not afraid of these swamps and miasma, but these soldiers are unable to stop them. They are either drowned in the swamps or poisoned by the miasma. They can't even reach the door of the Jiuli tribe. Do I have to use magic to destroy these swamps and miasma?"

Xuanyuan hesitated a little, with a ball of Jade Purity Divine Light in his hand about to come out but not yet released. If he were to use his magic first, he would naturally be able to destroy these obstacles standing in the way of the ordinary soldiers. However, the war had not yet reached its climax, and it would be too damaging to the morale for him, the supreme leader, to take action.

What's more, it is absolutely impossible that there are only ordinary swamps and miasma in this mountain. There are even dangerous places that can trap immortals.

If he acted recklessly, he would fall into Chi You's trap. If there was a cause-and-effect shooting technique buried in an ordinary swamp, and he broke it rashly, he would be implicated in the cause and effect, and even with his master's protection, he would be in big trouble.

Just when Xuanyuan was at a loss, Guangchengzi also arrived here with many of his fellow disciples.

He had said goodbye to Xuanyuan before, just to go to Kunlun Mountain to invite his many junior brothers. With the help of these junior brothers, why worry about not being able to break Chiyou's siege? At this moment, he saw Xuanyuan's face full of worry, and asked the reason. He immediately smiled and said, "This matter is not urgent. The reason why I left before was to go to Yuxu Palace to invite my many junior brothers. This is Qingxu Daode Zhenjun. Master once gave him the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan. With one fan, he can spray out fire in the air, fire in the stone, fire in the wood, three flavors of fire and human fire, which is enough to burn those miasma and swamps to near nothingness."

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun was a middle-aged Taoist priest who held in his hand a fire fan made of seven bird feathers. Before the fan was waved, Xuanyuan felt waves of fire coming towards him. He immediately knew the supreme magical power of this Zhenjun and stepped forward to pay his respects.

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun also knew that this was the future Human Emperor, and did not dare to accept such a great gift from him. He stepped aside and said with a smile: "Human Emperor, there is no need to be so polite. Guangchengzi is my senior brother, and it is my responsibility to come and help."

Guang Chengzi nodded slightly, pointed at an old man and said, "This is Taiyi Zhenren. The master once gave him the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover. When the cover is put down, nine dragons will burst out with flames. Even a Daluo Jinxian will be refined to death. It can also completely refine the swamp gas."

Taiyi Zhenren looks like an old man with kind eyes, wearing a white crane cloak, a lotus crown on his head, with an immortal look and a black beard. He holds a small fiery red cover in his hand, and outside the cover there are nine divine dragons swimming around, looking vivid and lifelike, and showing their teeth from time to time, like living dragons.

Xuanyuan also stepped forward and saluted.

Taiyi Zhenren also stepped aside like Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, and said with a smile: "It is my honor to come to meet the Human Emperor. The Human Emperor does not need to see such a great gift. Just wait and see what Junior Brother Qingxu and I can do."

The two men took a step forward together, one threw out the small cover in his hand, and the other waved the feather fan in his hand.

The Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover was the first to show its power. Nine flaming dragons roared and flew out, instantly encircling an area of ​​billions of miles. The blue sky slightly changed color and turned into a fiery red. A hot air rushed out and fell like a rain of fire, immediately burning countless swamps into dry lands.

The power of the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan came a little later, and bursts of clear bird-like chirping sounds came from the sky. One after another, strange-shaped birds appeared, such as fire phoenix, blue phoenix, peacock, great peng, white crane, swan, and owl.

They represent seven different kinds of birds.

Fire in the air, fire in the stone, fire in the wood, three-flavor fire, and fire in the world swarmed in and continued to spread with the flight of these birds. When they encountered miasma, they would quickly ignite it and completely turn it into nothingness.

After a short while, the Jiuli tribe, which was like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror, finally revealed its true form, because all the miasma was burned dry.

Some members of the Jiuli tribe who were lying in ambush in the woods looked at the fiery flames in the sky with horror. They could only watch as the swamps and miasma that had accompanied and protected the Jiuli tribe for countless years were all burned dry and destroyed.

Seeing the right opportunity, Xuanyuan immediately launched an attack with all his forces. Without the obstruction of swamps and miasma, countless armies marched forward unhindered as if they were going to flatten the world, breaking countless trees along the way. The Jiuli tribe members who were hanging on the trees were trampled into meat paste alive, and rushed towards the Jiuli tribe with a bloody smell.

While commanding the army, Xuanyuan thanked Qingxu Daode Zhenjun and Taiyi Zhenren repeatedly: "Thank you two uncles for your help. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid Xuanyuan would not be able to do anything to the Jiuli tribe."

Xuanyuan took Guangchengzi as his master, and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun and Taiyi Zhenren were Guangchengzi's junior brothers, and naturally Xuanyuan's uncles.

The two of them did not dare to accept Xuanyuan's gift, but they could still accept a word of admiration from Xuanyuan.

Just as the Twelve Golden Immortals were chatting and laughing with Xuanyuan, there were sudden roars from the Jiuli tribe in the distance. A giant who was nine feet tall, covered in black air, and whose face could not be seen stood up. In his hand was a simple broadsword, which was shining coldly. Before he could make a move, he saw the heads of many soldiers approaching the Jiuli tribe flying off.

Just some flashes of the sword were enough to cause such great damage, which shows how terrifying this sword is when it is actually wielded.

Guang Chengzi used the Jade Purity Magic to immediately penetrate the obstruction of the black fog and saw the true appearance of the giant. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is - Chi You! When did he have such magical power that he can be comparable to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal!"

The other eleven Jade Purity Golden Immortals also used their magical powers to look. They had sat under Yuanshi Tianzun and listened to his teachings for countless years, and had close contact with the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Randang. Naturally, they could see the sense of perfection surrounding Chi You.

Apart from the Hunyuan Golden Immortal, who else can have these perfect meanings around him?

Seeing that Chi You actually possessed magical powers of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal level, the Twelve Golden Immortals couldn't help but back off.

Guang Chengzi, the strongest of the Twelve Golden Immortals, was only at the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal and had not yet touched the threshold of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal. How could he possibly fight against a true Hunyuan Golden Immortal? Even if Chi You only possessed the magic power of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

Guang Chengzi said to Xuanyuan in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of magic this Chi You has used, and he has actually stepped into the Hunyuan realm in one step. The most urgent thing is not to wipe out the Jiuli tribe, but to leave first and wait for the next day!"

Xuanyuan didn't expect that he would leave immediately after solving the external problem. He said unwillingly: "What kind of magic secret technique did Chi You use to spare him? Could it be that the twelve immortals can't do anything to him?"

Guang Chengzi sighed, "How sacred is the Hunyuan realm? Even if it is an incomplete Hunyuan Golden Immortal, it is not something that we Daluo Golden Immortals can challenge. Unless the deputy leader comes, there may be some possibility of victory. Otherwise, we can only guarantee the safety of your majesty, but these soldiers and ministers cannot guarantee it."

Guangchengzi's words were so serious that Xuanyuan had to choose to leave no matter how unwilling he was. He was not an impulsive person.

However, when he heard Guang Chengzi mention the deputy leader, he couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't Master invite the deputy leader to come? Could it be that the deputy leader is not in Kunlun Mountain?"

Xuanyuan also practiced Taoism in Mount Kunlun for several years and knew that in addition to Yuanshi Tianzun, the leader of the Chan sect, there was also a deputy leader, Ran Deng.

Guang Chengzi was a little hesitant after hearing this, and then he said: "I didn't know that Chi You actually had such a secret technique before, so I didn't want to disturb the deputy leader's cultivation. But now the incident happened suddenly, and I can't contact the deputy leader for the time being. I will ask the deputy leader to come when I return to the Yanhuang tribe."

"Master Guangchengzi, don't worry so much. I'm coming."

Just as Guangchengzi finished speaking, a loud shout came from the sky, and then a simple green lamp was lit above the giant's head, and a line of emerald green divine fire spurted out, burning towards the giant Chiyou.

This line of divine fire seemed tiny, but its power was extremely immense. It burned the giant to pieces in the blink of an eye. Chi You couldn't help but roar in anger, raised the giant knife in his hand, and slashed at the green light.

The green light flickered slightly, and a green fire shield immediately appeared. The big knife chopped outside the fire shield, but apart from causing ripples like water, it did not produce any other effect.
