At other battle locations on the city wall, the Xiangyang side gradually gained the upper hand.

Twenty Quanzhen disciples, following Yin Zhiping's instructions and led by Li Zhichang, huddled together, forming a formation to protect and support each other, surrounding the ten first-rate Mongolian masters. Li Zhichang and five other first-rate disciples led the attack, while the others assisted. With such an advantage, victory was only a matter of time.

Zhu Ziliu and Wu Santong's opponents were about to be defeated and were looking for an opportunity to escape from the city wall. As long as they went down, they would be supported by the Mongolian army and they would be safe.

They didn't notice that Guo Jing was standing at the foot of the city wall. The Mongolian army was blocked outside by Guo Jing alone.

Batur also saw the current situation and knew in his heart that this siege was doomed to fail.

After half a month, he finally waited for the opportunity when the city defense equipment was insufficient, but a master appeared from nowhere and entangled the opponent he had originally arranged for Guo Jing, allowing Guo Jing to free up his hands to attack at will.

There is no point in continuing the attack now. Fighting on will only increase casualties. Just for Guo Jing standing there, who knows how many lives will be lost if he wants to break through.

not worth it.

"Give the order, call back the troops!"

The guards around Batur received the order and left to convey the order.

The conch shells sounded, and the Mongolian army knew it was a signal to retreat.

No longer fearlessly attacking Guo Jing's defense line.

The Mongolian masters on the city wall had no desire to fight any longer. When they heard the signal to retreat, they immediately pushed their opponents away and jumped down from the city wall.

Zhu Ziliu and others wanted to chase after them, but were stopped by Guo Jing.

"No need to chase, we just need to hold on. Be careful of ambushes."

The Mongolian army suffered greater losses than the Xiangyang defenders. In fact, these losses were nothing compared to the size of the army of tens of thousands.

After today's battle, Mongolia lost at most less than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

If they go out of the city to fight, the defenders of Xiangyang will definitely not be a match.

Or perhaps Batur was hoping that Xiangyang would open its gates so he could fight them face to face.

Without the city walls to rely on, even if Guo Jing could attack at will, Batur would be determined to kill him with his numbers.

King Jinlun naturally heard the signal of the Mongolian army's retreat.

After forcing Yin Zhiping back with one punch, King Jinlun breathed a sigh of relief.

He was under a lot of pressure. He thought his opponent was Guo Jing, but he didn't expect it to be Yin Zhiping from the Quanzhen Sect, whom he had never heard of.

King Jinlun was well aware of the difference between innate and acquired qualities, and those five good-for-nothings could never be a match for Guo Jing.

Therefore, King Jinlun was also worried that Guo Jing would come over and join forces with Yin Zhiping to carry out a two-on-one justice against him.

By then, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to run away, which would be a bit embarrassing...

There is no need for that now. It was the commander-in-chief who ordered the retreat. I was just following the order, not being beaten away.

"Yin Zhiping, I will remember you. I will come to challenge you again if I have the chance. We will decide the winner then."

Almost everyone would say a few harsh words before leaving, and King Jinlun was no exception.

"You're most welcome, have a safe journey! Bye!"

Although the battle with King Jinlun was dangerous, it was the most satisfying battle Yin Zhiping had ever fought. He felt his mind clear and his body refreshed, just like eating chilled watermelon in the dog days of summer.

Then I accidentally let myself go...

Chapter 20: Don’t Open Champagne at Halftime

After this battle, everyone knew that the Battle of Xiangyang was over.

At most, we will fight with small groups like in the first few days, and there will be no major battles.

Through this battle, Yin Zhiping also proved his strength.

Everyone saw the fight between Yin Zhiping and King Jinlun.

The intensity of the battle was an eye-opener for those people in the martial arts world who had never witnessed the Huashan Sword Contest.

Sword and fist lights were flying around at a fast and sharp speed, with true energy overflowing, making it impossible for anyone to get close.

Only then did many people truly witness the horror of the innate realm.

If they were in the position of either Yin Zhiping or King Jinlun, they would probably be killed immediately without even being able to withstand a single blow.

Didn’t you see that when facing five masters who had reached the realm of acquired perfection, Guo Jing suppressed them the whole time and knocked them all down in no time.

What is the concept of acquired perfection?

Just like Zhu Ziliu who was chosen as the representative of the individual players, he was only in the late stage of the acquired realm, and any one of the five people could knock him down.

Qiu Chuji, the Changchunzi of Quanzhen Sect, also reached the state of acquired perfection.

In other words, even if five Qiu Chujis joined forces, they could not defeat one Guo Jing, but ten of them might still have some hope.

This is the value of the innate realm.

After this battle, Quanzhen Yin Zhiping became completely famous.

In the past, people respected him only because he was born with talent.

People respect him now because of his real achievements.

He fought alone against the strongest man on the Mongolian side, but there was no winner.

Yin Zhiping won the respect and love of everyone through his actions.

If Yin Zhiping had not come to Xiangyang this time, even if they could have held on, no one knew how many people would have been sacrificed.

If Guo Jing was entangled by the master who used the golden wheel, then the remaining five masters who had achieved perfection in the acquired realm would be in a difficult position for them.

......

After seeing off King Jinlun, Yin Zhiping immediately found his fellow disciples.

Fortunately, although some people were injured, their lives are not in danger.

The performance of the junior brothers was also very good this time. Five of them were at the first-rate level, and fifteen were at the second-rate level. They surrounded ten Mongolian masters at the first-rate level.

The last twenty people were all injured. Wu Zhixing, the most seriously injured, suffered severe internal injuries and could no longer stand.

Among the ten first-rate masters, two died, two were seriously injured, and six escaped.

As soon as they heard the order to retreat, the six of them ran away without taking their two seriously injured companions with them.

The two of them lay on the ground with their hands stretched out, almost crying.

"Zhichang, take the brothers to heal their wounds. It's not over yet. There will be small-scale fighting next. You still have to be extra careful. Don't let your guard down until the Mongolian army has withdrawn."

Yin Zhiping was afraid that his fellow disciples would think that the tension in their hearts had loosened now that Xiangyang City had been secured.

It's almost over. It would be a big loss if something goes wrong due to carelessness.

"Don't worry, brother. I will."

Li Zhichang nodded and said solemnly.

Li Zhichang has always been willing to listen to Yin Zhiping's words.

So Yin Zhiping would always instruct Li Zhichang on everything.

......

During the half-month-long battle to defend Xiangyang, Huang Rong stayed in the rear, under the pretext of coordinating the overall situation.

Pregnant Huang Rong was not suitable to stand on the city wall and face the murderous atmosphere of war, let alone take action.

The early stages of pregnancy are very dangerous and can lead to serious consequences if you are not careful.

It’s the same hall, the same people.

But compared to before, everyone present had smiles on their faces.

"Everyone, the Mongolian army has not yet withdrawn. They may make a final attempt, so we can't be too happy yet."

Although Huang Rong was very happy in her heart, she was only one step away from winning the war.

However, this last step is often the easiest to make mistakes.

So everyone had to pour a basin of water on them to help them cool down.

"Boss Huang is right. As long as the Mongolian army hasn't withdrawn, we can't relax. No one knows if this is a trick to confuse the enemy."

Huang Rong helped them calm down, and Yin Zhiping helped them be more vigilant.

Huang Rong has always played the role of a wise man, and everyone present will listen to her words.

Yin Zhiping also gained everyone's recognition and respect with his strength. People admire the strong and are more likely to listen to the words of the strong.

"Yes, we can't relax yet."

"We'll be happy after the Mongolian army retreats."

"With Hero Guo and Taoist Yin here, we will definitely win."

Seeing everyone's response, Huang Rong smiled with satisfaction.

"Master Yin, do you know who the foreign monk who wields the golden wheel is?"

Guo Jing was still very curious about the Mongolian Xiantian realm, and he would definitely have to deal with them in the future.

"He said his name was Jinlun, and others called him Jinlun Dharma King. He was a disciple of Tantric Buddhism."

Yin Zhiping told the truth that this was what King Jinlun told him.

"A disciple of Tantric Buddhism? Then is his horizontal training skill very powerful?"

Huang Rong had obviously heard of Tantric Buddhism and asked this question.

Yin Zhiping looked at Huang Rong in surprise. He didn't expect that Huang Rong actually knew about Tantric Buddhism. Then he nodded.

"That's right, King Jinlun's defense is very strong, and my sword can't break it."

"Rong'er, do you know Tantra?"

Guo Jing was also surprised.

"I've heard from my father that it's a top sect outside the domain. I heard that the Tantric sect has a very powerful horizontal training method. Rumor has it that no one can master it. I can't remember what it's called."

Huang Rong had also heard about it from her father Huang Yaoshi a long time ago.

Huang Yaoshi's whereabouts are always erratic, and he may not always stay in the Central Plains. He may often go out. Anyway, with his strength, he will not encounter any dangerous situations.

That makes sense.

As for that martial art, isn’t it the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung?

This technique has thirteen levels and emphasizes gradual progress. There is no threshold for practice, so even people with dull aptitude can achieve success.

Each level you upgrade will increase the power of a dragon and an elephant.

However, it is extremely time-consuming to practice, and theoretically it takes thousands of years to reach the highest level.

King Jinlun was a rare martial arts genius. He practiced hard and made rapid progress. In the end, he even mastered this martial art to the tenth level.

Although we don’t know what level the creator of this martial art has reached, the tenth level of King Jinlun is the pinnacle of this martial art.

"Master Yin, if King Jinlun attacks again, should I deal with him?"

Guo Jing felt a little guilty and embarrassed for handing over the burden that originally belonged to him to Yin Zhiping.

"No need, Mr. Guo. The King of the Golden Wheel and I haven't decided the winner yet. I can't give this opponent to you."

Guo Jing was a man who couldn't hide things, and looking at his expression, Yin Zhiping roughly guessed what he was thinking.

Just a joke.

"Yes, Mr. Guo, a gentleman does not take away what others prefer. I believe that Taoist Yin will definitely defeat the Golden Wheel Dharma King."

"Master Yin is very ambitious. We support you."

"The Tantric sect is strong, but is our Quanzhen sect inferior?"

My goodness, has this escalated into a dispute between sects?

Will this turn into a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism soon?
