Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 283 Seven Battles in One Day, Seven Victories (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Sun Yanwan led his troops and rampaged through Bazhou City, encountering Northern Yan generals along the way, none of whom could withstand him.

His external martial arts skills had reached their peak, with all twenty-four meridians fully developed and divine. He also had the internal energy of the Songyang School of Xuanmen as a backing. Now, after being honed on the battlefield, he had unleashed the supernatural staff techniques of the former dynasty's first martial arts family, truly possessing the imposing aura of "one staff to divine power, possessing vast supernatural abilities."

Each strike of the Supernatural Staff Technique can borrow one or two parts of the enemy's strength. Three parts of internal force are borrowed from the enemy, and seven parts are borrowed from the enemy. The power of the staff technique is endless and becomes heavier with each strike.

However, the enemies Sun Yanwan encountered in Bazhou City were not even worthy of a second blow. Thirty-eight rank-one generals and two or three hundred guards died under his red dragon wood club. He easily broke through the city and seized this magnificent city.

When Sun Yanwan left Jin Diao City, he had already ordered various cities to send troops to Bazhou to provide reinforcements. Jin Diao City, facing the army of the Tu Hun prince, could not mobilize its forces extensively. He had twenty-three cities under his command, each with its own garrison. Sending several hundred troops from each city would reduce the pressure without affecting the defenses of each city.

After he captured Bazhou City, reinforcements from various places arrived one after another within a few days. Once the number of troops in the city exceeded 13,000, Sun Yanwan began to cleanse Bazhou City, sending all officials and surrendered generals to Black Dragon City, and then to other cities for resettlement.

Sun Yanwan failed to control the news this time, nor did he intend to.

A few days later, the Tuhun prince learned of the fall of Bazhou and panicked. Ignoring his subordinates' advice, he hastily returned with his troops, wanting to retake Bazhou.

In terms of military strategy, Yang Diao'er is far superior to Sun Yanwan. Moreover, Jin Diao City has ample troops. Sun Yanwan only took five or six thousand troops with him, and even when he mobilized reinforcements from various places, he did not touch the troops in Jin Diao City.

This young saintess of the demonic sect immediately opened the city gates and then launched a surprise attack.

He fought seven battles in one day and won all seven.

The Tuhun prince was utterly terrified, his army routed beyond repair, and he was reduced to a mere few thousand survivors before fleeing in disarray. Before he even reached the walls of Bazhou, he was already incapable of attacking Bazhou.

When Sun Yanwan learned that the Tuhun prince was going to lead his troops back to fight, he was quite worried. After all, the prince had more than 100,000 troops under his command, all of whom were elite soldiers and fierce generals of Northern Yan. He hurriedly dispatched troops and inspected the city's defenses to prepare for the defense.

When the news arrived, Sun Yanwan learned that the young prince had returned to the capital in haste and suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Yang Diao'er. Suddenly, she became deeply worried about the lack of a successor in the Northern Yan royal court.

Luojing!

On the second prince's desk lay a newly published document. He had read it many times, yet he still couldn't believe its contents.

"How come another Su Nanqiao has appeared in the world?"

"According to the records, this person is the son of Su Wanhong, the prefectural magistrate of Yongzhou."

He passed the imperial examination a few years ago, but disappeared on his way to Luoyang for the final examination.

"Now he has joined the Demonic Cult and become King Harsha, one of the two kings of the Demonic Cult."

"He led the Demonic Cult army in the great war between Northern Yan and Boshi Kingdom, then suddenly turned back halfway, seizing more than twenty cities of Northern Yan. He even betrayed the Demonic Cult and now calls himself the Grand Commander of the Xuanhuang Army..."

"Is he... like me?"

"Otherwise, how could he have become such a powerful martial artist in just a few years?"

"Although there are rumors that this person may be Sun Yanwan of the Songyang Sect, such rumors are not credible at all."

“Sun Yanwan is a disciple of Songyang, possessing orthodox Xuanmen martial arts. This person, however, is a member of the Demonic Sect, and it is said that his staff technique is quite similar to the Ma family's supernatural staff technique from back then. There is absolutely no way in the world that two different martial arts can be practiced by the same person.”

"In particular, Sun Yanwan has been staying in Songyang Mountain for the past few years, supposedly to break through to the Innate Realm. A few days ago, a monk from Shaochan Temple visited the Songyang Sect and said he had seen this person at the Taiyi Temple on Lingjian Peak..."

"With dozens of monks watching, they can't possibly misjudge me!" "Although this person is rebellious by nature, if we can win him over, he will surely be a great help to me."

"Whatever he wants, do you think I can't afford to give it to him?"

Zhang Qingxi also had a dossier in his hand. His dossier was not as detailed as the Second Prince's, but at this moment, a monk from Shaochan Temple was sitting in front of him.

This monk was unremarkable, merely a first-grade cultivator, who brought him a few words of message.

These words left others completely bewildered and unable to grasp their meaning, but Zhang Qingxi simply smiled and said calmly, "I'm sorry to trouble you to deliver this message, Master."

The monk from Shaochan Temple put his palms together and said, "This is my duty."

"After I deliver this message, I will go to the Songyang Sect again. If there is any new information, I will report back to the Fourth Prince."

Zhang Qingxi glanced in the direction of the palace and said in a low voice, "My second brother was promoted to Grandmaster more than ten days ago. He has absorbed the legacy of our ancestor and it has had a great effect."

Knowing that this was a message Zhang Qingxi wanted him to deliver, the monk clasped his hands together again, but remained silent.

Zhang Qingxi smiled slightly, had someone fetch travel expenses, and saw the monk from Shaochan Temple off.

In recent years, Shaochan Temple and Songyang Sect have gradually come closer together. Zhang Qingxi suddenly received the support of Shaochan Temple. Shaochan Temple is a Buddhist ancestral temple with believers all over the world. For example, using a monk of the first rank to deliver a letter is something that few places in the world can do.

Shaochan Temple specially appointed five first-rank martial monks to travel back and forth between Luojing and Songyang Mountain, only delivering messages verbally. What a grand gesture!

When only one person remained, Zhang Qingxi suddenly chuckled and said, "Second Junior Brother is really quite a handful!"

"I never expected that such a serious national war would end with Gong Wei of Boshi Kingdom getting into trouble and the war being hastily called to a halt."

"I heard that the Northern Yan and Southern Xia pursued the army of the Bo Shi Kingdom, expanding their territory by 1,300 li, increasing their borders by one-third, and gaining more than 100 cities. It is truly enviable."

"I wonder when I will have the opportunity to command a large army and expand our territory."

"Alas, we must settle our score within these small palace walls before we can have a chance to truly demonstrate our abilities."

After Sun Yanwan occupied Bazhou, he was extremely busy, but there was also some good news.

Yang Diao'er defeated the Tu Hun prince, gathered his defeated troops, and personally delivered them to him.

In addition to handling military affairs, Sun Yanwan rarely left his residence, maintaining a very good balance between work and rest.

Sun Yanwan was only able to escape from this life of "working day and night" when Wei Yingxiao, a senior sister from the Songyang Sect, arrived in Bazhou City.

Wei Yingxiao rushed to Bazhou, bringing with her the largest reinforcements yet, bringing the total number of Bazhou's troops to over 30,000. Finally, they were no longer afraid of being attacked by the Northern Yan army.

The original five or six thousand troops were taken away by the Tuhun prince while Bazhou was undefended. It was not difficult to launch a surprise attack and seize the city, but it was difficult to defend this mighty city.

Wei Yingxiao had just arrived when an army from the Great Lang arrived outside Bazhou City...
