Chapter 200 War begins

Jingjiang Jun showed up without hesitation!

This is a violent black dragon!

The dragon rides on this energy, vast and boundless in the mysterious universe, thin from the sun and the moon, hiding in the light, feeling earthquakes and lightning, performing magical changes, moving the soil under the water, and gurgling in the valleys.

The body of a real dragon broke through the crack above the clouds. It was a thousand feet long, with scales as black as black iron, its mane spread out, and dragon whiskers floating all over its body, like ink flames rising into the sky. Its eyes were red and blazing, piercing through the heavy clouds, and its claws were sharp and frosty, tearing apart yin and yang.

There was originally a black sun above the sky. This was an eclipse caused by a "disaster", and the blood on the black sun was continuing to flow.

The celestial phenomena, stars, sun and moon are actually manifestations of the energy of heaven and earth. This was reflected in the ancient battlefield. Because of the strong autumnal energy in that place, the sun, moon and stars there all looked like autumn.

The movement of the sun, moon and stars is the result of the natural operation of the universe.

In the ancient times, the gods had not yet left. Among the gods, there were things like "star officials". It was said that they hung high in the sky and could control the movement of the stars. When the stars moved, they would also affect the ground. So when the star officials became angry, the stars would start to move randomly and corresponding disasters would occur on the ground.

For example, a solar eclipse nowadays means a slight change in the laws, hence the name 'solar eclipse to cultivate virtue, lunar eclipse to cultivate punishment'. In the past, a super-large-scale solar eclipse occurred in the entire country of the Divine Dynasty, and it was mostly witnessed by people like Lu and Huo, and it was a sign that a minister was covering up his king.

Although the current solar eclipse is limited to a few dozen miles within the inner city of Cangzhou, the meaning it conveys is no different.

This is exactly the manifestation of the Zuo family's power.

In Cangzhou, the aristocratic families are the local tyrants. This is an obvious fact. Even the officials of the Divine Dynasty themselves understand this. The solar eclipse at this moment is just a natural variation of the celestial phenomenon.

However, since the black dragon appeared, the black sun disappeared.

It's not really gone.

Instead, it was submerged by thick dark clouds!

Clouds follow the dragon! When the real dragon appears, dark clouds cover the sky for thousands of miles, and fierce winds blow lightning and black air covers the sky!
Under the black clouds, the sky was gloomy and dark. A strong wind suddenly arose in the Xun direction. Suddenly, there was a sound of the sea of clouds collapsing, as if a celestial drum was breaking in the sky!

But where the black dragon's head was raised, dragon thunder surrounded it, and the thunder was winding under his feet and body, like a thunder chariot rolling across the sky, with thunder suddenly pouring out like a strong wind, and purple lightning entwining and gathering momentum.

Suddenly, a dragon roared, a long whistle that could tear silk apart, and thunderbolts burst out from its throat, winding like a divine whip beating the earth. Its light was so bright that it could outshine the sun, and its roar was so loud that it could destroy mountains. Wherever the thunder passed, the rain master fled and the wind master held his breath!
The wind, rain and thunder here can only be commanded by the dragon! The gods retreat, and the witches stop!

The dragon's tail stirred, and heavy clouds surged like an overturned ink pool. The light of the scales flickered in between, flickering like stars falling into a long river. The black dragon's claws stepped on the lightning, leaving scorched earth and electric cracks wherever they passed. Mountains rose and fell, and rivers hung upside down. The power of the heaven and earth was embodied in the corner of the black scales, and all the spectators shuddered and bowed their heads!
Nine Realms True Dragon!

And it was in a perfect and complete state! It roamed in the sky, pulling the sky to rotate with it!
Thousands of demon gods, who were so powerful just now, were now like wheat fields encountering a sickle, and their heads were cut off in an instant.

Piece by piece, piece by piece!
The situation collapsed in an instant, and a real dragon was roaming in the formation of all gods!
Zuo An's previous aura was immediately restrained, and he glared fiercely: "True Dragon! How dare you act rashly in the Qiyun Divine Dynasty?!"

"Little devil, are you stupid? You even dared to summon the solar eclipse, and you tell me this? Is there really anyone in charge of this area of Cangzhou?" Jingjiang Jun's cold voice came, and he swept away again.

Another group of demon gods exploded in the air. Their blood and limbs didn't even have a chance to fall to the ground. They were turned into charcoal by the thunder in mid-air and disappeared without a trace after turning into black ash.

But these words made Zuo An grit his teeth.

There's no way, this is true.

The Zuo family dared to show the solar eclipse, wasn't it just because they relied on the fact that Cangzhou was a place that the Divine Dynasty was too lazy to care about?

The various laws of the Divine Dynasty have no effect here. Cangzhou is actually governed by the local noble families, and this state of autonomy has lasted for thousands of years.

As long as the Cangzhou families continue to pay taxes honestly and continue to transport various materials to the Divine Dynasty to support the core families of the Divine Dynasty as well as the royal family and the court, they will not bother to care about Cangzhou.

To put it bluntly, it's just a remote and poor place. It was a barbarian area thousands of years ago. The so-called expansion of territory is just that. The Divine Dynasty is too lazy to conquer places farther away. It's not that it can't be done, but that there is no need.

It is really unnecessary to ask the Temple of Heaven to maintain the weather and wind in that area after conquering it. It might even lead to losses. Cangzhou is already the limit of our control. At least we can still make money here in Cangzhou. We will lose money if we go any further.

In fact, regarding the fact that the Zuo family’s business was supervised by the Ministry of Revenue, if they didn’t want to sell these things from Baishan and the Grassland Royal Court to the Divine Dynasty, he wouldn’t even need to pay attention to any official documents from the Ministry of Revenue.

That's the reason for the 'solar eclipse'.

A solar eclipse is not just beautiful to look at, it also exposes the situation in Cangzhou, which is something the Astronomical Observation Department is proud of. Based on the astronomical phenomena in different places, the Astronomical Observation Department and other people who can "observe the astronomical phenomena" can use these methods to perceive the situation, customs, and politics of that place.

So... this also became the reason for the True Dragon to take action.

If it were in Yuezhou, Jingjiang Jun would not dare to do this. There would definitely be several divine machines that would drop from the sky and leave him here. After that, everyone would divide up the real dragon's flesh and blood, and those who needed to make pills would make pills, and those who needed to make weapons would make weapons.

But this is Cangzhou.

No one cares.

The real dragon roared, and the array of all gods began to collapse violently!
After gritting his teeth, Zuo An chose to...not care.

Regardless of!

Don't worry about it. The True Dragon formation looks big, but it will take some time to break through the Pantheon formation dominated by Jupiter.

During this time, kill Gao Jian!
I am in the sixth realm, and Gao Jian is in the fifth realm, so there is a chance!
Damn it, I thought the Ten Thousand Gods Formation was enough, but I didn’t expect that the real dragon would actually be willing to be driven by Gao Jian. It even seemed that Gao Jian was in a dominant position!

Damn it, there must be someone behind Gao Jian!
Maybe it was Li Zuofang himself. Gao Jian believed that he was the one sent by Li Zuofang to attack the Zuo family!
Zuo An gritted his teeth and attacked fiercely. Ghost trees whistled and dead souls surrounded him. He pounced towards Gao Jian with all his strength!

However, the fifth realm...

Fuck!
Did this person use some secret method to force his progress? Why did his cultivation progress so fast? He was still in the third realm before, but in just one or two months, he has already reached the fifth realm!
Unbelievable!
It's simply incomprehensible!

But I can't care about that anymore.

Facing the ghost trees and dead souls rushing towards him.

Gao Jian sighed.

Look, there are a lot of headless ghosts and yaksha ghosts below.

I used to think it was so scary, but now... I can just ignore it.

Gao Jian raised his sword and rushed forward.

Qi and blood burst out! Rushing up twenty feet!

Get rid of all the evil spirits around you!

"Get out of here!" A 'flame' suddenly ignited on Gao Jian's blade!
That is, the Five Elements' Generation and Restraint.

It has been said before that the Five Elements Generation and Control Fu, as a method of manipulating the five elements in the human body, is quite clever in its conception, and it can even attach one's own five elements' energy to the outside.

However, the idea at that time could only make the blade slightly hot, which could affect the five elements of Qi, but it was difficult to cause real manifestation in the material world. (For details, see Chapter 47)

But it's different now.

Now, Gao Jian’s passion is enough to ignite a layer of flames on the blade, and this flame is no ordinary fire.

Heart fire is the monarch fire. The monarch heart is a tangible fire that cannot burn things, but it can affect the five elements of the human body. The heart qi generated by the heart fire, when it is strong, will make the blood vessels unobstructed and smooth.

Therefore, when the heart fire is strong, the heartbeat will be fast, and the qi and blood will also be strong. Although excessive heart fire will harm the body and burn one's five internal organs, Gao Jian has suffered this loss, but what about others who are burned by the heart fire?

This fire is burning the source of life!
If there is no vitality, like a ghost, it will be directly dispersed by the strong vitality in the heart fire!

This was Gao Jian's judgment, the most suitable method at this moment. The fire in his heart burned on the knife, and all the ghosts turned into ashes in front of this huge vitality!
Gao Jian rushed to the left bank with the fire.

Zuo An frowned, watching Gao Jian rush over as he was assessing the situation.

To be honest, Gao Jian’s swordsmanship…is not very sophisticated.

In the first, second, and even third realms, Gao Jian's swordsmanship has reached an outrageous level. Even among the young masters of aristocratic families, there are few who can compete with him in martial arts. His swordsmanship, which seems to have been immersed in for decades, is really not something that can be possessed by those in the first or second realms.

But now, I have reached the fifth level.

At the fifth level, Gao Jian's swordsmanship can only be described as 'clumsy'.

Still obsessed with the "form", although the transportation capacity is very exquisite, it stops there.

No matter how advanced and sophisticated the sword techniques are, or how varied the techniques are, in the end, it is nothing more than the movement of a long rectangular geometric body that can be deformed and twisted to a certain extent in three-dimensional space.

If we have to classify, all sword and knife techniques can be classified as 'the shortest movement in the complex space of rectangular geometry' and 'rapid mental calculation of torque'.

The so-called "using cleverness to overcome force" and other techniques are all about using torque to amplify one's own strength or to reduce the opponent's strength.

Torque is nothing but the force which directly creates or produces twisting motion between two bodies, and this force is inversely proportional to the distance from the center of each other and the force they exert.

In this way, even if there are ten thousand ways to "use cleverness to overcome force" in this world, they can all be summarized by the principle of leverage and its branches.

Then the so-called sword techniques and knife techniques are all based on these issues.

How can the knife penetrate the gap at a tricky angle?

The proficiency in these things, the speed of calculation, and the instinct similar to muscle memory are the proficiency of a person's "sword skills".

The more skilled you are in using it, the better your knife skills will be.

But there are limits.

When one reaches the fourth realm, this swordsmanship in the physical sense has come to an end.

By the fifth realm, this sword technique is not useless, but in the general opinion of the Divine Dynasty, it will appear "clumsy".

If you want to improve your swordsmanship at this time, you need to use Qi or something else, and treat the swordsmanship as some kind of magic to increase its power.

If you focus on the essence, you need to make use of your own Qi and blood.

If you focus on the spirit, you must carry your own divine will in the sword.

For those who are good at Qi control, it is time to practice sword Qi well.

Gao Jian was obviously focusing on the essence.

But his use of qi and blood is simply... crude.

The Five Elements Generation and Restraint Poem? Haha, Zuo An knows that this is only a five-element technique of the highest three realms. Although all five elements are included and the ideas are ingenious, it can only serve as an introductory outline of the five elements.

Gao Jian's use of this to fight is really clumsy.

But... he didn't dare to take it lightly.

Gao Jian has created too many miracles, and the talent he has shown does not seem to be limited to this. Moreover, it seems that there are other people supporting him behind the scenes.

In other words, you are hiding your incompetence?
Ah.

"You have such a bold idea, and you are charging into the inner city. Don't you——"

Zuo An took a step forward and his magical powers unfolded!

"Your Majesty!"

The magical power of the left bank...

Air ban!

The next moment, the sounds of fighting around stopped.

There was no sound, because even sound was forbidden.

Above the sky, the Ten Thousand Gods Formation was fighting against the True Dragon Jingjiang Jun. Countless gods fell down and were turned into ashes by thunder.

And under the sky, within the three hundred feet of the street, the energy of all things is prohibited.

Fire has no temperature, water does not flow, everything stops.

Only Gao Jian didn't stop.

Not even stilled.

The chi ban didn't seem to be working.

At the same time, Gao Jian's soul vibrated, transmitting information.

"The principle of Qi restriction, so this is it. It's such a simple and crude method. Control all the Qi through divine will, and mark all the Qi with one's own imprint... Let one's inner world control the outer world around it. This is too simple and crude. However, if the divine barrier is not opened, the strength of the soul is not enough, so this magical power cannot be used."

Gao Jian conveyed the message through his soul, but this move made Zuo An's face darken.

But Gao Jian didn't stop.

He continued, "I chose this magical power for myself because... you don't have enough control over subtle things, right? You are better at using force to overcome cleverness."

"But I'm different. I've been fighting till now, but I've never used force to defeat cleverness."

Gao Jian is a reckless man. Logically, he should use force to defeat his opponent and kill him.

Unfortunately, since Gao Jian started his training, he seems to have rarely encountered an opponent whose absolute strength is weaker than his own. Basically, it was either a one-on-many situation, or the opponent was far stronger than him.

Therefore, Gao Jian is quite good at using clever strength.

At the same time, the Shui family's ancestor and Shui Cangcang were watching from a distance.

There were still many people waiting and watching. People from various aristocratic families and government offices had come. Some of them protected the inner city from being hurt, while others were watching the battle.

No one expected that this battle would be so hasty.

Gao Jian just brought people to seek an explanation. Logically, they should have argued it out, passed the buck to each other, and distributed the benefits. This is the way a normal family should deal with things.

But no one expected that... the Zuo family sacrificed "Taisui" without hesitation, and then killed people in public in the inner city.

It's really...uncharacteristic.
