Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 85: Jin Wushu sneaks into Chencang, while Taoist Qiu takes action openly

At this time, Qiu Chuji was teaching the Small Zhoutian Sword Technique on the mountain, so naturally there was no smoke rising.

Not long after, the foreign monk who went up the mountain to test finally came down the mountain in a panic. After barely coming back to his senses, he told Tonggudu and Ouyang Feng about his experience in the mountain.

"Xiao Zhoutian sword technique? How powerful is it? Show it to me." Ouyang Feng was quite interested after hearing it. He was not very interested in the sword technique itself, but the martial arts that came out of Qiu Chuji's hands were another story.

Few people know that Ouyang Feng had a soft sword wrapped around his waist two months ago, which he used to perform the Hundred-Step Flying Sword Technique.

The soft sword could not bear the force, but Ouyang Feng imitated the shape of a snake and specially designed the snake-swimming and flying method for his Hundred-Step Flying Sword. Not only could the soft sword move in a strange way and swim close to the ground, making it difficult to detect, but the blade was also coated with a deadly poison. As long as the skin was cut a little, the toxin would penetrate into the body and corrode the internal organs.

Of course, this method was specially prepared for Qiu Chuji.

As long as he could hurt Qiu Chuji a little, he thought he could control him.

The foreign monk was seriously injured, but facing Ouyang Feng's request, he still reluctantly used a small part of his sword skills. Then he accidentally stabbed his left arm, and blood gushed out immediately.

"You useless guy, you can't even learn such a good martial art!" Ouyang Feng cursed angrily, and then said to Tonggu Du: "General, since Qiu Chuji is not going to go down the mountain, I will go up the mountain to take a look first."

Tonggu Du said: "Mr. Ouyang! You must remember that no matter what, you must not ruin the Marshal's plan. Since you are going up the mountain, Qiu Chuji and Wang Chongyang... and the martial arts masters around them, all must be restrained and not allowed to come out and cause trouble."

Ouyang Feng was very dissatisfied with Tonggudu's tone of command, but he said, "Of course!"

"I'll do my job, and you do yours. There are only 800 people here, and you have to act well for 5,000 people. It's not easy."

After saying this, he hurriedly led a group of evil masters from the Yiren Academy to Mount Zhongnan, but happened to miss Qiu Chuji who was going down the mountain by another road.

After going down the mountain, Qiu Chuji lay on the ground and used the method of listening to the ground recorded in the Guiyuan Secret Book to feel the vibrations of the ground and find out where the Jin soldiers were stationed.

"Southwest, about... about ten miles south?"

"Wait, that's not right. Why is there another group that is farther away, but seems to have more people?" Qiu Chuji jumped up, brushed off the dust on his body, thoughts turning in his mind.

If his "clone technique" had been discovered, he should have divided his forces into several locations to avoid a head-on collision with him.

But according to Qiu Chuji's inquiries just now, the Jin soldiers stationed about ten miles away did not move, and there was another group, which should have more people, and they were marching quickly.

After a little thought, Qiu Chuji decided to chase the large moving team instead of the nearby one.

With Qiu Chuji's lightness and speed, he had already run dozens of miles away in less than an incense stick of time. He saw thousands of Jin cavalry, fully armored, circling the remnants of Mount Zhongnan and heading towards Raofeng Ridge.

Amid the billowing smoke and dust, almost every Jin soldier had a determined look in his eyes, with strong pride and confidence, which was very different from the Jin soldiers that Qiu Chuji had encountered before.

These are truly powerful soldiers capable of capturing cities and strongholds on the battlefield, and are definitely not a second- or third-rate team used to besiege some martial artists.

The moment he saw this team, Qiu Chuji understood everything.

The talk about trapping all the heroes of the world in Mount Zhongnan and making the Quanzhen Sect cautious is all lies.

This fast-moving team was also pushing the supports of some siege equipment and the assembly mechanisms at key locations. They were definitely going to attack the city!

"Build the plank road openly, and spend time secretly in Chencang!"

"On the surface, they are here to attack the Heroes Conference and Quanzhen Sect, but in reality, they want to catch the Song Dynasty's border defenses off guard."

Qiu Chuji felt that he didn't think much about it.

In ancient times, information transmission was not convenient, and there was no possibility of satellite monitoring and navigation. To know the enemy's movements, one mostly relied on spies arranged in advance to send back intelligence in advance so that key defenses could be arranged.

Now Jin Wushu used the Quanzhen Sect's heroic conference as an excuse to deceive the Song court's spies planted in the Jin Kingdom, thus giving a "reasonable" explanation for their large-scale mobilization of elite troops.

After crossing Raofeng Ridge is Xingyuan Prefecture. As long as they occupy Xingyuan Prefecture, the Jin people can ignore the natural barriers and covet the prosperous land of Bashu.

The land of Bashu was notoriously easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the Jin people took the opportunity to occupy it, they would be able to sandwich the Song court from both sides, and at the same time effectively prevent Tubo and Dali from intervening in the war.

I have to say that Jin Wushu played a good game.

At this moment, Qiu Chuji was only thinking about the surface. In fact, if Jin Wushu really succeeded in this move, then when the war broke out again, his power would be magnified again, and he would have the upper hand in the game between him and the Jin emperor.

As for Jin Wushu himself, he was actually already terminally ill and was relying on the "magic medicine" presented by Ouyang Feng to keep him alive. How could he cause such trouble?

All we can say is that for some people, as long as they are not buried in the ground, their desire for power and conquest will never be extinguished.

Everyone thought that he no longer had the strength to fight, but he still wanted to swallow dragons and chase away tigers.

"This is really... a big trouble!"

The wind whistled and blew through his hair. Qiu Chuji took out his long mace, then turned into a ray of golden light and rushed towards the team.

Qiu Chuji certainly could not kill all of this army of thousands of people, but he wanted to destroy the key structures of the siege equipment and burn the food and fodder, but these Jin soldiers could do nothing to him.

All he had to do was stop them and ruin this wave of offensive. Once the news got out, Qiu Chuji would not be in charge of what happened next. Qiu Chuji did not like the Jin people, nor did he have much good feelings towards the Song court. The reason he took action was that he was doing it for the people, which was indeed a bit empty, but he definitely had a chivalrous heart.

When Qiu Chuji rushed out, a tall and straight man in the Jin army, wearing a white cloak, with a face as white as gold paper, deep eye sockets, dark brown pupils, suddenly looked up, and a terrifying light burst out of his eyes.

In an instant, he met the eyes of Qiu Chuji, who was covered in golden light and turned into a little golden man.

"Qiu Chuji?" This man, who was obviously not from the Central Plains, called out Qiu Chuji's name.

He shouted the name awkwardly but forcefully.

As he shouted, he held a dagger in each hand, broke away from the horse, turned into a white shadow, and stabbed towards Qiu Chuji.

His movements were swift, but his body was twisting in strange ways, like a lizard in the desert.

Qiu Chuji felt a hint of danger from him that he hadn't felt for a long time.

The moment before, he was still thinking about a protracted war, and in addition to destroying siege equipment and food supplies, he wanted to leave some spare energy to deal with the Jin soldiers. But at this moment, Qiu Chuji opened fire at full power.

The golden body crashed down with all its might, and its agile body actually tore a golden arc of light in the air, and the air made a loud roar.

It seemed as if half of the sky was about to shatter and collapse under Qiu Chuji's attack.

The daggers in the foreign man's hands crossed and twisted, forming a strange cross.

When Qiu Chuji's huge force hit, the powerful force was like hitting a bouncy ball.

Most of the force was actually returned and rushed towards Qiu Chuji himself.

"The stars are changing?"

"No! Is it the Great Shift of the Universe?"

Thoughts raced through his mind, and the long mace in his hand flew across the air, like the setting sun, and then fell down fiercely.

The foreign man wanted to use the same trick again, but when he felt the oppressive air wave, he felt as if the sun was falling and the sky was exploding, which was beyond human control.

At the critical moment, he threw the dagger in his hand, which turned into two white rainbows, one on the left and one on the right, cutting through the sky and flying towards Qiu Chuji's temple.

Then, in Qiu Chuji's eyes, he slowly became "illusory", as if he was just an illusion.

This assassination technique was inherited from the first generation mountain old man, Huo Shan.

Ever since Qiu Chuji became famous in Mount Hua, various countries have noticed him, the newly rising number one in the world. When Qiu Chuji entered and left the Song court palace as if he was strolling in his own back garden, the desire of the dignitaries of various countries for top masters reached a very serious level.

This top assassin from the Persian Assassins happened to have come from afar with Persian merchants. After arriving in Zhongdu, he was discovered by Jin Wushu's subordinates and then introduced to Jin Wushu.

As the saying goes, a thousand miles apart, the customs vary; a hundred miles apart, the Central Plains is more than ten thousand miles away from Persia.

The development and display of martial arts are almost completely different.

Qiu Chuji could ignore the two daggers stabbing at his temple, but he was quite concerned about the foreign man who suddenly disappeared before his eyes.

Sure enough, in just a moment, the man appeared behind Qiu Chuji's heel again, and his finger was like a gun pointing straight at the gate of the valley.

This move really sends chills down one's spine. Even if one has an indestructible body, one cannot defend against this...

The long mace in Qiu Chuji's hand flew out first, and he took a deep breath of internal energy and twisted it in the air.

puff!
The long mace with great explosive power missed again.

A cloud of smoke mixed with various exotic poisonous gases spread towards Qiu Chuji.

Qiu Chuji immediately used his Thousand-Jin Weight Kung Fu to smash it heavily to the ground, crushing several Jin soldiers to death.

He stretched out his hand and the long mace returned to his hand. Qiu Chuji's eyes wandered over the many Jin soldiers who were besieging him.

He could feel that the foreign man had hidden among these Jin soldiers, but he seemed to be very good at shrinking and changing his shape. His originally tall figure was now mixed in with the relatively shorter Jin soldiers, and he was not noticeable at all. His aura was also hidden very well and could not be distinguished by the naked eye.

The Emperor’s Qi-gazing Technique, activate!

Qiu Chuji channeled his inner energy to his eyes and discovered a red light in a blind spot to the right rear.

Whoosh!
The long mace shot out, but was once again avoided by the foreign man who was hiding.

He unceremoniously used the Jin soldiers as a cover, and disappeared again in a flash left and right.

Qiu Chuji did not argue with him, as if he had forgotten the man's threat. He smashed his heavy mace at the key part of a siege vehicle. As long as the most critical part was damaged, it would take a lot of effort to repair the machine.
