Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 284 Heavenly Martial Dragon Collapse Force vs. Heavenly Demonic Embryo Transformation Technique

On the main banner of this army, there is a large character "闻" (Wen).

Needless to say, it must be Wenxi, one of the four grandmasters of the Da Lang Dynasty, who has arrived.

Apart from this old Grand Tutor, the Great Lang Dynasty was certain that no one else dared to mobilize troops at will without imperial orders.

Sun Yanwan and Yang Diao'er stood on the city wall.

At this moment, Sun Yanwan put on the gold mask again, and Yang Diao'er put on the silver mask.

Wenxi's eldest son, Wen Zhuzhong, said, "Father, this man has a very strong spirit."

Wenxi stared at Sun Yanwan for a long time, then shook her head almost imperceptibly and said, "No."

Wen Zhuzhong said, "Father has also heard that this person is Sun Yanwan, the top scholar of our Great Lang? However, this person is strong and tall, which is inconsistent with the average height and slightly thinness of the top scholar Sun."

Wenxi shook her head again and said, "No."

He then explained, "This person's physique and demeanor are those of a master of external martial arts, and his aura is profound, almost reaching the level of a grandmaster. External martial arts skills can only be honed through hard work; there is no possibility of achieving them overnight. Even if one cultivates demonic arts, which tends towards rapid progress, it would still take at least thirteen or fourteen years of hard work to reach this level. Sun Yanwan has not been practicing martial arts for that long. I heard that he is still in seclusion in Songyang. Even if this Scholar Sun secretly advanced to the Innate Realm, he wouldn't be close to the level of a grandmaster so quickly."

"Moreover, the woman beside him possessed the Heavenly Demon Technique, and her aura was strange and incomparably powerful."

"I have met Yang Diao'er before. Just as the rumors say, her cultivation of the Heavenly Demon Art is shallow, but her Xuanming Yin Sha Art is quite good."

Wenxi suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Scholar Sun! We meet again."

Sun Yanwan was deeply impressed by this Grand Tutor of the State, and immediately gathered all his strength and said indifferently, "Grand Tutor Wenxi, there's no need for nonsense. I have no interest in debating this matter with you."

Wenxi stared at Sun Yanwan for a long time before saying, "I wonder who Su Juren's mentor is?"

Sun Yanwan didn't respond at all. Lies need countless lies to cover them up, but silence is always a gold mine. Let old man Wen guess wildly!

Seeing that Sun Yanwan did not answer, Wenxi sighed and said, "So the rumors are true. The old ancestor's Heavenly Martial Dragon Collapse Force failed to kill that old thing Yang Shifa, allowing him to live for decades and cultivate the Heavenly Demon Embryo Transformation Technique to the point where he could transfer the demon embryo."

Wenxi suddenly felt a little disinterested. He had considered whether or not to recruit this person.

Even if this King Harsha was not Sun Yanwan, but still Su Nanqiao, whose father was the top scholar of Da Lang and who himself was a candidate of Da Lang, once he guessed the "truth," this Grand Tutor knew that this matter was absolutely impossible.

Although transferring the "demon fetus" cannot truly possess a body, it will inevitably have a profound impact on the person who receives this demonic power, fundamentally changing everything from their mindset and personality to their conduct and habits.

Wenxi sighed and said to his son, "If Scholar Su had brought you to Luojing back then, and I had seen you there, you would surely have gained another junior brother."

"Perhaps, I, as his father, can also protect him."

“This child must have been taken in as a disciple by the Demonic Cult when he was still in his hometown. Now his demonic nature is deeply rooted and unshakeable.”

Wen Xi raised his voice and shouted, "Scholar Su, do you wish to fight this old man?"

"If you can withstand a hundred of my moves, I will withdraw my troops today and save lives from this bloodshed."

Sun Yanwan raised her hand and shouted, "You old bastard, come and attack the city!"

Countless Xuanhuang soldiers surged onto the city walls, bows drawn and arrows nocked, ready for battle.

Wenxi sighed again and said, "Let's go! We're too late. If we had come a few days earlier, this magnificent city would surely belong to Da Lang." He had tried several times to provoke Sun Yanwan and to lure this King Jie Ri into making a move. If he could kill this King Jie Ri of the Demonic Sect under the walls of Bazhou City, he could surely thwart the Demonic Sect's future plans. However, Sun Yanwan was "cunning and treacherous," clearly inheriting the personality of the previous Demonic Sect leader, Yang Shifa.

Wenxi was helpless. This old Grand Tutor who protected the country was not a brave but reckless person. When he learned that the Tuhun prince was leading troops to attack Jin Diao City, he immediately knew that the opportunity had come. He hurriedly left Luojing and seized military power along the way, wanting to take down this powerful city of Beiyan that had caused Da Lang so much trouble and caused him to suffer defeat. However, he did not expect that he was a step too late. Bazhou City had already been taken by Sun Yanwan.

Since there is no longer any chance, Wenxi will not forcibly send troops to attack.

Sun Yanwan watched from the city wall as the Wenxi army slowly retreated, their troops providing cover for each other as they marched in orderly fashion, leaving no chance for a sneak attack. She couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Yang Diao'er said in a low voice, "If the Tuhun prince had even a tenth of the military leadership skills of this Grand Tutor Wenxi, I would never dare to leave the city to launch a surprise attack."

The two men looked at the troops of Da Lang, their banners fluttering, and knew they had no chance whatsoever.

Sun Yanwan suddenly cried out, "Oh no!"

Yang Diao'er smiled slightly and said, "Bazhou is a magnificent city in the world, but Black Dragon City is not."

Sun Yanwan also realized that if Wenxi couldn't conquer Bazhou, it would inevitably attack other places, and Black Dragon City would probably be the first to be hit.

He said in a low voice, "Diao'er, you guard Bazhou, I need to go to Black Dragon City."

Yang Diao'er chuckled and said, "Having eaten Little Diao'er, it's time to eat Little Shishi."

Sun Yanwan smiled sheepishly, thinking to herself, "I've already eaten."

But he dared not speak carelessly, and said solemnly, "The military situation is urgent, Diao'er, don't joke around."

Yang Diao'er patted his chest and said softly, "Be careful on your journey!"

Sun Yanwan nodded. This time, he only brought a dozen or so personal guards and fifty good horses. He bypassed Bazhou City and headed straight for Black Dragon City.

With these fifty fine horses, he could rotate his mounts along the way and arrive at Black Dragon City sooner.

Golden Sable City and Bazhou City were recently acquired, and the other dozen or so cities were also captured not long ago. Black Dragon City and a few other cities were Sun Yanwan's foundation.

People of this era had no concept of the ocean, but for Sun Yanwan, the Black Dragon City and several other cities were all located by the sea, and by chance he had acquired most of the fleets of Bo Shi Kingdom and Wu Ying Hou, so he would surely be able to develop maritime transport in the future.

How lucrative is maritime trade?

If he were to develop this small force, it would no longer have to worry about lacking resources, nor would it be afraid of being trapped by the armies of Da Lang and Bei Yan.

It should be understood that although the area he currently occupies can be considered a separatist territory, it needs resources from various regions to develop and cannot be self-sufficient.

If the merchants from Da Lang and Bei Yan were to travel between them, he would be like a dragon trapped in a well, or like the Demonic Sect, confined to a corner and unable to unleash his full potential.

Therefore, Black Dragon City cannot be lost.

Black Dragon City has a full complement of troops, so there is no need to transfer troops from other places.

In reality, whether he rushed there or not wouldn't have had a significant impact on the battle, but how could Sun Yanwan sit idly by and watch Black Dragon City be attacked from the north?

Whether or not to go is a matter of attitude.
