Chapter 223: The Iron Pagoda is destroyed! The Sword God rises again!
Two thousand veteran soldiers with Mo Dao swords looked at the Iron Buddha who was rushing towards them like thunder, with murderous glares in their eyes.

Since the establishment of the Modao Team, it has not encountered any strong opponents.

The 3,000 men led by Chu Lushan were not wearing armor, and the fighting power of the Shanshan barbarians was far inferior.

Now that they have encountered the world-famous Iron Pagoda, how can these Modao soldiers not be excited.

A group of people were chopped down by Gu Dazu, but Qi Dangguo didn't care at all.

Since the day Iron Pagoda was born, it has never lost, even to a powerful opponent like the Great Halberd Warrior of Western Chu.

"rush!"

"The Iron Pagoda charges, and the troops are in retreat!"

All the Iron Buddhas, like the old Modao soldiers, have become blood-thirsty!
They could imagine that when the Iron Pagoda rushed over, the infantry phalanx in front of them would instantly turn into a pool of flesh and blood.

Then, Tiefutu rushed into the sandbar among tens of thousands of infantrymen, slaughtering them at will and taking whatever they wanted!

Zhang Kulong, who had been promoted to lieutenant general, met the first Iron Pagoda who rushed up.

The dark iron armor of the Iron Pagoda Cavalry gleamed with a faint luster. Both the men and horses were heavily armored. They galloped as fast as lightning and roared like thunder!
Zhang Kulong, who was at the peak of the third rank, clenched his eighty-jin Mo Dao in his gnarled arms and stabbed it diagonally at the head of the galloping horse!
"Drink!"

After a loud shout, the first Iron Pagoda cavalryman was split in half from the middle!

Without any delay or resistance, the hard iron pagoda armor was easily cut open by the 80-jin Mo Dao!

Zhang Kulong, who was at the peak of the third rank, was soaked in the blood of centaurs and horses, waiting excitedly for his next target.

He is a warrior who can break seven kinds of armor. With his eighty-jin fine iron Mo Dao, splitting the Iron Pagoda in half is no problem for him!
"My men, kill Qi Dangguo!"

Qi Dangguo felt a chill in his heart, and then shouted, "They can't all be third-rank warriors! Charge!"

But soon after, one Iron Pagoda after another was chopped in half by the motionless Modao soldiers!

These Modao soldiers licked the blood and threw the chopped corpses of the men and horses aside casually.

A young Modao soldier was forced back several steps by an Iron Pagoda, and then he split the Iron Pagoda in front of him in half.

The soldier shouted angrily, "You bully me because I'm at the peak of the fourth rank. I'll let you charge!"

After saying this, he chopped the Iron Pagoda soldier who had fallen to the ground and died tragically into meat paste with a few knives!
Only then did Qi Dangguo realize that these two thousand Modao soldiers were either fourth-rank or third-rank!

With the continuous sound of "puff puff puff", teams of Iron Pagodas fell in front of the Mo Dao.

As for the enemy's Modao soldiers, apart from chopping four or five of them in succession and causing them to retreat exhausted, there was almost no damage!

The surging black torrent was cut off by the Great Wall made of silver bright light armor!

The Modao soldiers raised their Modaos again, and their formation remained motionless!
"There is no more Iron Buddha in the world! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Yuan Zuozong had been through many battles and knew that their goal was to break through the Modao Great Wall and kill the ordinary infantry behind them.

So, just tear a hole open!
"Form a cone-shaped formation and charge with three riders!"

Yuan Zuozong pointed in the direction where the Modao soldiers were retreating the most and issued an order!
The Iron Pagoda reacted quickly, turning around in the blink of an eye to form a cone formation.

In the cone formation, three riders form a group, forming a small three-cone.

"Ruyi Vajra Formation!"

As Yuan Zuozong gave the order, a group of dark-faced infantrymen suddenly rushed out from behind the Modao soldiers.

These infantrymen threw away their weapons, clasped their hands together, and sat cross-legged behind the Modao formation.

The sound of Sanskrit chanting was heard, and rays of Tantric energy rose from above these people's heads!

Yuan Zuozong's heart was shocked, "It's a Tantric formation!"

"The White-robed Guanyin has joined Li Changan, these are the corrugated monk soldiers!"

These monks disguised as infantrymen gathered more and more, and gradually a faint golden light appeared on the bodies of the Modao soldiers!

The physical strength of these golden Mo Dao soldiers quickly increased several times!
Li Changan watched the silver Great Wall gradually covered with golden light, and killed the Iron Pagodas who attacked desperately one by one.

"The Tantric Qi that I plundered from the White-robed Guanyin has finally come in handy."

It is estimated that the White-robed Guanyin, whose energy has been plundered, will not be able to break through the Buddhist Vajra in the short term.

But for Li Changan, the right way to use these Tantric energies is to fight against the Beiliang soldiers.

The number of Iron Pagoda members was less than a thousand, and Yuan Zuozong felt heartbroken.

Xu Fengnian in the enemy's center army was in a state of panic, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry was at a disadvantage, and the Iron Pagoda was almost wiped out.

Xu Xiao led these two powerful armies and suppressed countless heroes throughout his life. But when they came to his own hands, they were both destroyed.

What’s even more terrifying is that Li Changan’s Modao soldiers did not suffer much loss.

"What exactly is going on!"

Li Chungang, who was originally bored, was also staring at the battlefield in amazement.

Before coming here, he thought the war was a one-sided massacre.

It was because of Xu Xiao's strength that he hid in Tingchao Pavilion to recuperate.

At that time, it seemed that Xu Xiao's military force was so powerful that he should be invincible.

But everything that happened on the battlefield was far beyond Li Jianshen's expectations.

"Xu boy, this matter has nothing to do with you. Even if your father comes, he can't win."

Although this sentence was meant to comfort him, it made Xu Fengnian's mood plummet.

"Senior Sword God, can you lend a hand?"

Li Chungang grinned and said awkwardly, "Are you kidding me?"

"The Black Armor Army over there, the White Horse Volunteers over here, and the Mo Dao Soldiers in the middle are all third or fourth rank warriors."

"Even if I personally go out and kill hundreds of people with one sword, I will still be hacked to death by the army."

"I only protect you. I have no control over other things."

Qi Lianhua, who was standing on the other side, was also disheartened. "Feng Nian, prepare to withdraw the troops. The defeat is already apparent."

Xu Fengnian felt chilled from the inside out. This moment seemed like a replay of the same scene that had happened once before under the city of Yongzhou.

That time, not only was his army defeated, but no one escaped. Only Old Huang went back to report the news.

He glanced at Old Huang who was squatting in the corner wiping his sweat, and Old Huang was looking at him pitifully.

It was obvious that both of them felt the same fear they had felt more than three years ago.

Xu Fengnian glanced at Qi Lianhua and Li Chungang. The combined cultivation of these two people must be that of earthly immortals. They should not be unable to escape this time.

Thinking of this, Xu Fengnian shook his head fiercely. He still couldn't believe that the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and Iron Pagoda would lose!
Since he was old enough to understand, these two armies have been like gods in Xu Fengnian's heart. They are the guarantee for him to be unbridled and do whatever he wants!

"No! There must still be a chance. The Great Snow Dragon Riders haven't lost yet!"

The confrontation between the Black Armor Army and the Great Snow Dragon Riders was much more brutal. One Black Armor Army soldier could kill three or four Great Snow Dragon Riders, but this Black Armor Army soldier was almost exhausted and killed.

Although the Guiyi Army is of the eighth rank, they can only fight one against two at most. Half of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry are warriors of the eighth or ninth rank.

The fighting was extremely brutal. Although the Guiyi Army and the Xuanjia Army had the advantage, Li Cunxiao and Yuan Zuozong had a hard time fighting against them.

However, at this time, Yuan Zuozong was not looking at a small part, but the overall situation.

The Iron Pagoda suffered a crushing defeat and the entire army was doomed to be annihilated.

In that case, Huo Qubing's White Horse Volunteers, Huyan Cavalry, and the elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty would charge into the Beiliang infantry formation.

By that time, I'm afraid the situation will really be hopeless, and there will be a risk of total annihilation.

How would he explain to Xu Xiao if the Iron Pagoda and the Great Snow Dragon Riders were all destroyed in Shazhou? In this expedition, Xu Fengnian hardly held back, and it was basically Yuan Zuozong and Qi Dangguo who were in command.

Moreover, the two men were rough but smart, and Li Changan didn't give them any chance to launch a sneak attack.

This battle was even more fair and without any mistakes. If it were any of the eight countries in the Spring and Autumn Period, the battle would have been won.

But now, not only is it unable to win, but it is also facing the risk of annihilation of the entire 110,000-strong army. It is not easy for Beiliang to form another Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and Iron Pagoda.

Yuan Zuozong could see the speed of Huo Qubing's light cavalry. If he didn't retreat, he would probably be doomed.

However, if he ordered a retreat now, with Li Changan's infantry and cavalry chasing together, he might only be able to save a part of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry.

"Great Snow Dragon Riders, withdraw!"

Yuan Zuozong’s military orders were as firm as a mountain. Although the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry was unwilling to accept the defeat, they had no choice but to do nothing. They would surely die if they continued to fight like this.

Li Cunxiao shouted unwillingly, "If you want to leave, it's not that easy!"

"Black Armor Army, Guiyi Army, hold on to the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry!"

Upon hearing the enemy's order to withdraw, the Xuanjia Army and the Guiyi Army were excited!

"The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is defeated! The Black Armor Army is the best in the world!"

Yuan Zuozong commanded the elite cavalry of Beiliang to block the Xuanjia Army and the Guiyi Army, and then wanted to make the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry retreat.

However, the battlefield was already in chaos, the cavalry attacked repeatedly, and the ordinary Beiliang cavalry was no match for the Xuanjia Army and the Guiyi Army.

The sturdy Black Armor Army could often knock down four or five Northern Liang cavalrymen with just a single horse lance, so there was no way they could stop them.

The planned orderly retreat turned into a fighting and retreat by the Snow Dragon Cavalry.

More than 4,000 of the 9,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders were lost and are now being held tightly by the Black Armor Army and the Guiyi Army.

In the central army of Beiliang, Xu Fengnian heard the horn sound of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry’s retreat.

At this moment, the Prince of Beiliang suddenly felt sad. It was hard for him to understand how such a powerful army could lose.

When he thought about the hope of turning things around that he came here with, he felt a thousand thoughts and mixed emotions.

Am I, Xu Fengnian, really an incompetent person?

After returning from a defeat, he couldn't imagine how Chen Zhibao would look at him.

Having lost the elite Beiliang troops, how much those Beiliang veterans would look down on him.

But soon, the sudden collapse on the battlefield woke him up from his distracting thoughts.

While the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry was retreating, the Iron Pagoda had been basically destroyed.

Huo Qubing, with 30,000 light cavalry, has completely wiped out the Northern Liang cavalry on the right wing.

Now, this torrent of 30,000 people, running like the wind, has already charged into the Beiliang infantry formation.

The silver spears of the White Horse Volunteers pierced the chests of the Northern Liang infantrymen one by one, and the horse lances of the Tang cavalry began to frantically harvest the heads of the Northern Liang soldiers.

The thirty thousand light cavalry moved like a fish in water in the Beiliang formation, trampling the infantrymen into pulp, just like boiling magma flowing into the jungle, burning the trees to ashes.

The Beiliang infantry phalanx, which was full of fighting spirit, began to disintegrate, and the Tang army infantry, who were blood-thirsty, also rushed up to kill them.

The battlefield, which was evenly matched a quarter of an hour ago, immediately turned into a one-sided massacre due to the retreat of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the charge of Huo Qubing's light cavalry.

The battlefield was filled with retreating and fleeing Beiliang soldiers, and with screams and roars everywhere, which finally allowed Xu Fengnian to see the current situation clearly.

Except for the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry who were still able to fight and retreat, all other troops were in disarray and being slaughtered!

He lost, and lost again!
Li Chungang sighed, "Li Changan is very lucky, it's not shameful for you to lose, let's go."

Beside Xu Fengnian, there are more than a dozen first-class masters, as well as two contemporary masters, Qi Lianhua and Li Chungang.

Under the protection of many masters, Xu Fengnian finally got on his horse and retreated to Jiayu Pass with everyone.

However, after they had galloped a few miles, they were stopped by more than a thousand Jinyiwei who were on high alert.

Li Chungang did not take these Jinyiwei seriously, but he was a little surprised by the masters in front of the Jinyiwei.

Everyone in Beiliang reined in their horses and stopped, with Li Chungang being the first to snort coldly.

"Wudi City, White-robed Guanyin, Wu Family Sword Tomb... all belong to the Anxi Protectorate."

"I haven't been out in the martial arts world for many years, and yet you all have joined Li Changan's army. No wonder Li Changan is so lucky."

Wang Xianzhi's second disciple Gong Banque quickly waved his hands and said, "I came to ask King Tang for the secret method of practicing together in the three realms. My senior brother came to see me and it has nothing to do with Wudi City."

Yu Xinlang beside him secretly cursed his junior brother as an idiot. Now that the eldest disciple and the second disciple were here, there was no difference between them and Wu Dicheng helping Li Changan.

Wu Liuding said bluntly, "The King of Tang has powerful means and a kind heart. The people of the six counties of Shazhou live and work in peace and contentment. Foreigners have surrendered to him and dare not disturb him. My Wu family sword tomb is willing to surrender to him!"

Guanyin in white clasped her hands together and said, "Greetings to the old Sword God. The Tang King has the world in his heart. I, the Tantric Red Sect, voluntarily submit to him!"

Li Chungang glanced at Xu Fengnian beside him, then said leisurely, "It is not my business to decide who you are loyal to."

"You can kill anyone here, but you must take old Xu Fengnian away."

The masters of the Anxi Protectorate did not speak to Li Chungang and went straight to the masters of Beiliang.

Almost at the same time, the pursuers arrived behind him.

"Xu Fengnian, stay!"

Holding a Mo Dao in his hand, Gu Dazu took a step forward several dozen feet, with the tip of the sword pointing straight at Xu Fengnian's face!

"Keng!"

A broken sword blocked the Mo Dao and Qi Lianhua snorted coldly.

"Another swordsman, also named Gu! Hehe! He's in the middle stage of the Celestial Realm, I'm afraid he's no match for me!"

Another swordsman named Gu was also a great general of a country and also at the celestial realm, but he was defeated by Qi Lianhua.

"One celestial phenomenon is not enough, and I am just a country bumpkin!"

A voice came from afar, and Zhuge Liang, wearing a feather fan and a royal turban, came stepping on a hurricane!

Qi Lianhua frowned, "The Confucian celestial being, your Confucian celestial being hates killing the most. You are starting a war like this, aren't you afraid of the backlash to your cultivation?"

Zhuge Liang caused a hurricane of fire from the sky, but his expression remained calm.

"Rise up an army to fight against injustice and uphold justice in the world. Why fear backlash?"

Several great masters fought against each other, and in an instant, the wind and clouds surged, the true energy surged, and the celestial phenomena changed dramatically.

Li Chungang's expression suddenly froze, and he felt a powerful aura approaching.

Li Chungang was seen floating in the air, with sword energy crisscrossing around him, and the sharp sword energy gathered into a sword energy wall.

The wall of sword energy forced back all the masters of the celestial beings, and more than a thousand Jinyiwei retreated step by step!

"If heaven had not given birth to me, Li Chungang, my swordsmanship would be as long as the night!"

With a loud shout, thousands of dense sword energies shot towards the approaching person!
"Sword Qi Rolls Dragon Wall!"

The masters from Beiliang and Shazhou stopped fighting and stared blankly into the air.

Xu Fengnian clenched his fists and roared excitedly!
"Land Sword Immortal!"

"Sword God Li has recovered his cultivation!"

At this moment, Li Changan's voice came steadily among the thousands of sword energies.

"This king has a sword that can kill the sword immortal!"
